Dear <<First Name *>>,

I hope this wee note finds you, your family & friends doing well and not discouraged by the events unfolding around us. Life has always been a journey, from breathtaking mountain top moments to crying out in the valleys, but Hope is Real!

So, for Valentine’s day, I wish you a day, filled with wonder, blessings & reminders that You Are Not Alone! Someone walks beside you on this path and loves you dearly!

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.”

“These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you”

Jesus

Such sweet words, and if you are in one of life’s valleys at the moment, I pray they will bring you comfort.

Speaking of mountains and valleys, the Christmas Caroling concert was fabulous live, so thanks for your continued support & encouragement. It was so much fun meeting and sharing with our neighbors.

After a few technical issues, we were able to connect to YouTube, but then…there was an issue with the audio…Who knew a Martin acoustic guitar could sound just like a Stratocaster fed through a stack of Marshall amps? :>} We’ll have that sorted for the next concert…but really, thanks so much for tuning in, and for the lovely comments. The photo below will take you to the replay.

After a difficult week of physical pain and grieving three very dear friends, I was scheduled to share my songs and a bit of my life story…which has lots of crazy twists and turns, yet is filled with miraculous events…Really!

My heart was heavy, but sharing about the goodness of God and the precious time of connecting and praise with these dear folks resulted in exquisite joy. It is my deepest wish that you would know this same joy…the sweetness of knowing you are loved infinitely by our Heavenly Father. May His love for you be your greatest treasure!

There’s much more to share, regarding music (videos in the works) and my novel, “William Ridley and the Celtic Cross,” which is nearing completion, but for today, I pray you’ll enjoy this gift of photos from places that have brought me peace. May they lead you ever closer to the true lover of your soul, Jesus!

With love, Connie

PS…Recently, spammers have used my Connie@MacLeodMusic.net and other related email addresses to send advertisements.

Please know, this is not coming from me.

Bulk email accounts, like the one I use to send updates, allow the user to customize the “From” email address. So, although spammers have no access to my account, they are able to make their junk look like it came from me.

So, if you happen to receive an email, supposedly from me, prompting you to buy sunglasses, celebrity face masks and the like, just delete them. Sorry I even have to mention that!

Since it is Valentine’s Day, I’ll sign off with my love song for Scotland, “Every Time it Rains.” Click on the picture above and enjoy the fabulous scenery at the Quiraing (below) and a glimpse of Tantallon Castle!
