I am truly ecstatic to announce the release of the official music video of ‘This is the Day.’ This song came through in 2006 and since then it has traveled across the globe, touching many souls with its healing message of self love, surrender to the divine and ultimately liberation. I had no idea of the magnitude of the effect it would have on people. I envisioned making a music video for years, to expand upon the essence of the song. In fact, we starting the first filming back in 2016 in Guatemala, marking the beginning of a 5 year project! But like so many spiritual endeavors, it seems to have its own divine timing of fruition. I was clearly guided to January 1, 2021 as the perfect date for its release into the world. My prayer is that this 8 minute journey opens hearts, creates spontaneous healings, and sends a message of love, beauty and faith in the ever blossoming spirit of humanity. This song is very much about my own journey to freedom, and deepening the understanding of how we each have the capacity to realize our own blissful nature as we grow in our sovereignty, dissolve our fears and learn to fully trust in our own divine destiny.
