I am loving my Music Directorship at Unity Northwest! I have been a Unity
fan since 1979, and started as their music director in December. The minister,
Greg Barrett, is a terrific teacher and speaker, and I feel privileged to get to
hear his amazing talk TWICE every Sunday!

This August, I will also be giving a fun voice workshop at Unity Northwest in Des Plaines for my suburban students and anyone else who wants to join us. The workshop, called “Finding Your Authentic Voice,” will encourage you to play and explore the realm of your constant companion: your voice! Your voice says a lot about you. This workshop is being given on a free will offering basis and
promises to be fun and educational.

In addition to the workshop, I am now teaching private voice lessons Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at Unity Northwest. Please contact me if you’re interested in finding out more. I hope I can help more people find their voice!

One thing I've learned from Unity is that "without  a vision we shall perish." The most difficult thing for me is to take time and  check in with my vision. "What do you want?" is still a hard question for me to  answer. I'm working on it.

I hope you are having a great summer in spite of the heat. I really wanted to take the summer off, and actually did some relaxing in June, as well as celebrated my mom’s 99th trip around the sun in Maryland on June 14!

This is a picture of me and my sister, Brenna, with my mom performing at Unity Center of Light in Bowie, MD. My mom was an actress back in the day, and she loved being in the spotlight. She was our opening number, in fact, singing Stephen Sondheim's "I'm Still Here"!

Thanks to my brother Terry McDonough, who played guitar, and Brenna for singing along with me. 

Are we an amazing family, or what?

We're back! From Sept. 26–Oct. 1 I will be performing with my Posi Palooza friends Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci and Herold Payne in Buffalo, NY, and several cities in Ontario, Canada. I always enjoy our trips to Unity congregations, and I can't wait to visit these spots as well.
