Where in the World is Mara!
A new year! May it be a good one.
As 2023 begins, I am continuing to work on some challenges that make me grateful for life and things I have always taken for granted.​
Recovering from even a mild stroke takes time and a lot of patience. Three months after, I'm doing much better, and am re-discovering stamina, coordination, and kindness to myself (this last point is particularly hard sometimes!).
I am also very grateful for your support -- thank you for the tip jar donations, for downloading tracks and albums, and for your email notes. I have added some more recordings on the Music Samples page and in the Store, and have some videos on the Links and Videos page. If you enjoy the recordings, and would like to see more, let me know! I'm happy to add to the collection.

Stay healthy and safe!
