Blogs (short for “web log”) from friends of Heatherlyn Music have been popping up, making kind mention of the Storydwelling album. We are grateful and honored to see a variety of folks taking the time to reflect on the music from each one’s unique voice, vantage and vocation. As these thoughtful posts are shared, my hope is that readers and writers alike might find yourselves engaging in a bit of ‘storydwelling’ in practice. Show these bloggers some love by paying their posts a visit and leaving a comment in response to their reflection, espcially if you’ve heard some or all of the new (yet unreleased) album.

Much love and gratitude to the following for their kind words and questions.

If YOU decide to post a blog about the Storydwelling album or create a facebook note about it, please let us know, so we can read it and share it too! GRATITUDE, Friends!

OK…here you go…storydwell, read, enjoy, comment, create your own blog post…

Quote: “This self- and accurately-described soulful, rooted, rockin’, guitar-playing singer-song-artist, poet and storydwelling traveler has a voice and impact about 10 times her small but very strong size.”

Post: authentic music

Quote: “As soon as Heatherlyn started singing, I was hooked. But beyond the music, what grabs me about this album is the idea behind it ~ that through music, we can share deep parts of our own story with one another, thereby healing relationships and creating community. And it’s not just the idea ~ the music is good.”

Post 2: Story and Music

Quote: “The stories we tell ourselves tell us who we are. Do we want hollywood to take on that role, or do we want to tell ourselves true stories of who we are, and who we will be becoming? What would it be like if we turned off the televisions (and other electronic media) so that we could sing songs and tell stories together?”

Post: storydwelling

Quote: “To give you an idea of how I like the CD – it has not been out of my player since I received it. Because I am drawn to the story, even the idea of the title “Storydwelling” spoke to me – the idea of dwelling, living, in the story set the mode for me long before I put the CD in my player, and to be honest I was not disappointed.”
