REASON 3

I'm sharing the stage with some brilliant artists!

First off, Upco, Otley - Friday 23rd January, with British Asian folk songwriter @satnamvocalist, who sings Punjabi and English folk songs, honouring tradition & reimagining works through a feminist lens with a drone

REASON 2

Come and see me on tour, because I'm going to play an acoustic version of this song!

The song is THIS, and the original music video features the incredible dancer Erik Cavanaugh.

It's a song about relinquishing control, and embracing the unexpected!

[Carol Hodge @carolxhodge]

and that energy is ALWAYS to be embraced and commended, however fleeting we suspect it may be.

So I raise a non-alcoholic glass to you, whatever grand/implausible changes you seek in this fresh turning of the year. Good luck, let's all aspire to be better versions of ourselves!!

[Carol Hodge @carolxhodge]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'll be honest, I didn't notice it turned into 2026 until I heard some fireworks outside.

I've kind of gone full circle with the whole Resolutions concept.

on impossible to maintain. All this in the coldest, darkest month of the year, when we really should be Going Slow instead.

However, this year, I've tapped into the Hope that abounds at the start of January, and have decided to focus on this. Collective Hope is a beautiful thing

How would you feel if you heard these balloons popping?

I hate the sound of popping balloons, but I've learned my anticipation of the sound is far worse than the actual experience...

[Carol Hodge @carolxhodge]

But with practice, I realised I could make it much easier, by focussing on other things, instead of the timer on the screen.

And, as with most things in life, when I relaxed and relinquished my desire to control how actual time elapsed, it got easier.
