This will be my sixteenth year doing FAWM (missed one when I was moving to Mexico). I've no idea how this FAWM will go. I've had a number of roadblocks to starting FAWM this year so I'm starting my FAWM on Feb 22ndrd this year. We'll see how that goes. I tried to pop on earlier, but life got in the way, and a wonderful visit from my son just ended. I’m still loving living in Mexico. I came with two suitcases, which at least contained my computer and a microphone, and my little ukulele, which I still can't play well, but I love it anyway! My house is big and echoey, which will either be good or bad, and during the daytime there are the sounds of horses clip clopping on the cobblestones, dogs barking, roosters crowing, and cohetes exploding, as well as mariachi music and workmen remodeling... I expect I'll be doing a lot of late nights if I want any quiet at all ;) but, what else is new, I’ve always been a night owl! None of this has changed, lol! The internet here is abysmal, which could make skirmishes more of a challenge than they already are, but I'm counting on them to be my salvation this year with so little time left. Hey, I'm just here for the fun and inspiration!!

If you hear music in my lyrics, please check in with me. If my lyrics inspire you, yay! I love collaborations. I will need to get a copy of the music file sent to my email before it can be posted. Sometimes I like to record my own vocals, and I can’t do that without the music file. Hope that doesn't discourage anyone, but it sure makes it a lot less fun for me when I don’t get to play too. :)

Totally open to after FAWM Collabs as well!

Oh, and by the way, It's Sheila - Sheiler K Christened by East Coast friends Who can't pronounce A... (at least, when it comes at the end my name!) Somehow an R seems to slip in there uninvited ;)

Reply from my friend who fell this morning: Thanks. DEAR. MY BUTT got broke several years ago, that's what put me in this chair. I'm still trying to get out of it, but not like I did this morning. Tell your friend I'm sending her healing energy. I know how it hurts!

Oh, my, I'm back to say GRACIAS for such a wonderful comment on Dying to Find Out, my collab with @froggymagee! So glad you could relate to the song. That's "music to our ears," thank you.... and your reaction was exactly what we were going for. Thanks so much.

Looking forward to reading your lyrics/hearing your songs. I'm intrigued about the move to Mexico. Will you be doing a song about that?

Hi @greengrassgirl, thank you for the greeting and encouragement. Today is the first day I've actually been able to join in the fun of FAWM this year, and finally got my first song posted. It's not about Mexico, but that might happen yet. I do love it here.

Hi Sheila 👋

Hi Nadia! Thank you for the greeting. I didn't really get to spend any time last week on FAWM. My son and his girlfriend were here and we've been busy every day. He left yesterday and today my FAWM starts for real. I'm looking forward to visiting your page and hearing your beautiful music!!

I really appreciate the welcome! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I had popped on earlier in the month and got interrupted. Just finally getting to participate. Now, going to your page I see that you've gotten interrupted. I hope things work out for you. I'll go back to listen to more later. For now I need to get a few of my own songs up! :)
