Album Notes

"This album is for those of us who wrestle and for those of us who wait. For friends who let you put your head on their shoulder and for friends who want to lay their's down."

In her original compositions, Monica writes honest explorations of comfort and hope, while trying to convey the difficulty in always believing that these things can be found. She moves through subjects as varied as the pain of loss and the discomfort of heartache, with subtly and openness and invites the listener to follow… In this new CD, Monica chose songs that move past heartache and into a reflection of God's presence in her life. This is music that doesn’t preach or cajole, but encourages us to admit our struggles, our hopes and our desire for more of God in our lives and takes the listener through the waiting and the journey.

Since her first independent recording, Monica has shared the stage with performers such as Jane Siberry, Steve Bell and Ron Sexsmith. She has also been featured nationally in magazines like Billboard & Maclean’s and been played on radio stations across North America, including the CBC and NPR. Throughout all of these performances and experiences, she’s carried a faith that is built on the desire to give God room for his work in her life and to share the freedom that grace brings to the whole of our lives.
