I am the kind of person who needs to create in order to feel alive, and music is one of my main avenues for expression.
As a multi-tasking mother of 4, my brain and my heart are often full of the day to day stuff of life, making it difficult to spend more than 5 seconds in meaningful self reflecting that songwriting requires. As my youngest gets a little more independent, and is now sleeping through the night on a regular basis, and the Home Team talk show was cancelled (due to budget cuts) I hope to have more time to reflect and share some creativity with you.
I want to hear what you do to express yourself...
Peace in '09!

Thanks for your music. I first heard some of your songs at a time when I needed an uplift, and they really made a difference to me.
In response to your question, I write when I need a creative outlet. In fact, I feel a void when I haven't written anything for a while. The weirdest thing is, though, that sometimes I dread writing until I sit down and do it. When I actually start making marks on the page, it's like I'm a whole person again.
Your music is beautiful!!! I am a Young Woman in the Farmington Utah. Hey Julie My mom is Samantha Reich!! your sister is one of my moms friends when they were in high school!!! & Now too I guess!!!!

Your song, "A Window to His Love" is one of my favorites to play on my classical guitar. I have a blog of classical guitar instrumental solos, in tablature. (go to mormonguitartabs.blogspot.com) I'd love to post my arrangement on my blog. I usually include lyrics to one verse, just to help the guitarist find his/her way around in the song. Any chance I could get permission? The blog is only for non-commercial users, so I'm afraid I can't pay anything, but I'll include any publicity I can.
Julie,
I love your music. You are so talented. While attending BYU I went to one of your performances. It was beautiful and I'm grateful that I had the opportunity. Now I'm back home in Hawaii and will be using one of your songs for our RS visiting teaching conference. I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to inquire but I'm not sure what other way to contact you. So, here it goes...I have your CD (Charity)piano music for the CD. We will be using your "Hands of Heaven" song. I was wondering if you have the instrumental music for this song. Our piano player recently passed away (a remarkably wonderful and talented sister) and I just don't have the necessary skill to play it on the piano. Please let me know where I could get a copy. We would like to have a few of our sisters sing this song for the conference. You can email me at deseret.nau@gmail.com.
Mahalo,

Hi! I'm actually looking for sheet music of your Dad's song "Sweet is the Feeling." I love the song and want to give it to one of my voice students to learn. Please respond to jonibalogne@gmail.com. Thanks so much!
I really like your "I am a Princess" song. I would like some of our YW to sing it at New Beginnings. Do you have downloadable sheet music anywhere?

I am also looking for your "I am a princess" music for young womens. Can you direct me to the right place?
Without music life is without color. What a great blessing it is to have these gifts to create and share through song. It is a part of who we are. It is a powerful way to reach souls.

I was asked to sing "I am a Princess" for our stake yw leadership meeting in April- where might I find the sheet music? The stake would also like to give each ward(there are 12) copies for their girls to learn. We don't want to break any copyright laws. Thank you for your time, talents, and testimony- heather@shepherdspie.net
I found your faq page- thanks
I would love to give away one of your cds on my blog :) Please e-mail me and let me know if you are willing contribute one of your cd's to do this. I have several great people that have done this like Jenny Oaks Baker, Lauri Carrigan etc. Your music is beautiful! Hope to hear from you soon:

Is there a place I can go to just get the lyrics to your songs? I already have your the sheet music. I'm trying to decide which of your songs to sing for YW meeting and I want to email the lyrics to my mother in law so she can help me decide. Thanks!
How can I get permission to publish my arrangement of "A Window to His Love" on my blog, Mormon-Friendly Guitar Tabs? Please reply to d.fallick@yahoo.com
The following, I think, says something about the creative process's connection with gratitude/proper attribution of source from a more secular perspective. I think you'll find it interesting to see how a secular person finds aid and solace in disconnecting one from their works/inspiration
