Hey,

How is your week going? Before I tell you mine, I want to say hi to all of the newest Subscribers, from across the United States - Virginia in the East, North Dakota in the West, and some amazing spots in-between - Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, to name a few. Canada has been representing - repeat Subscribers from Quebec and British Columbia - I thank you for spreading the word about my songs!! And internationally, so many countries - I want to especially thank you in Australia, Brazil, and Japan for your continued support. If you joined my list and don't see your state or country here, let me know!! I'll drop a shout-out in the next newsletter.

Love to the Network for sharing my music and sending it to your colleagues and family and friends. And to everyone who has subscribed, I adore your loyalty - you share me on Facebook, you play my music at parties, and I am so grateful. (And I'm working on a song now, called (for now) "I Want to Believe"!).

So, this week, I'm traveling in California. I was supposed to take two meetings in LA but my calendar didn't line up - so I'm enjoying the sunshine instead! I've been working hard for a while to get things going, and it looks like things are finally starting to look up, way up. And, when I actually look up, it takes my eyes away from all of the distractions that surround me. So if you're there too, stop. Look up.

Love,

Cle'

Hey!

There you are!! FIrst, a big Hello to new subscribers worldwide, with a strong showing from the UK - Cardiff, Liverpool, London - Australia, and Canada #CommonwealthLove The USA is also so awesome: Austin, Boston, Denver, Miami, NYC, and so many folks from the Midwest! Minnesota, Wisconsin,and Garden City, Michigan! #loveit The Network grows stronger every day, and I love the messages which you send. And to those of you who are with me now *and* have been with me since April 2020 (and beyond), a big virtual hug. I appreciate you all.

I'm taking the next 10 days to write 2 new songs, and to focus on getting in shape. I really want to live-stream a concert in December or January, and that takes preparation (and push-ups - even a 30-minute set is no joke!). I just started using battle ropes and they are challenging and rewarding at the same time! Someone just told me, "Those exercises you like the least, do first." What? Fine. Challenge accepted. I'll do my best. And where Life is concerned, you got this, too!

Hugs,

Cle'

Hey,

First, a special shout-out to new global subscribers in Manchester, Toronto, South Australia (Victor Harbor whoo-hoo!), as well as those closer to home - Wisconsin, Missouri, in fact the entire Midwest US! Love to the Network, all 222 of you, I am so appreciative! And to all of you who have been here since April 2020, and who came over from other platforms (yes, MySpace, YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, etc.), I adore you and your unwavering support.

So tonight I saw Sonic the Hedgehog 2. And I must have needed to - in it, Sonic turned to his yellow friend Tails and said, "Being weird isn't so bad!" And I felt that. It's OK to be unlike other people you know. It's OK to be unique, to feel deeply, and to hold your thoughts close because you think that no one else gets you. But we get you. And you're OK. And if you're not OK, in this moment, things are looking up! Because that's how Life is. I've written songs, all alone, in the middle of a broken heart, and you got me, right? Stay encouraged.

Hugs,

Cle'

Hey all,

We hit 1,000 subscribers!!!

First, a big welcome to new subscribers from all over the world - Brazil, Poland, Germany (I see you, Pockau!), Australia, Italy, and the UK. North America, keep sending your love from Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba, BC, Connecticut, Ohio, California, Maryland, and South Dakota (yay Brookings!). Love to the Network - I appreciate your messages of support and the tons of recommendations you've been sending out. And to all of the subscribers who have been here since Day 1, big hugs!

OK. So...here's "Gravity". It's a new song. With a rap. I always tell you the truth, so...I mixed up two Zodiac signs when I was rapping...and my sun's not in Pisces. But it sounds good in the lyrics so I kept it. Love me anyway!

I did recently have a birthday, though - and I made plans with someone, who ghosted me. I'm grateful for the broken heart, though - it means that I feel and breathe. And if my heart were never broken, then I couldn't write the songs which you hear now. So keep feeling and breathing - I'm right there with you.

Enjoy the new song!

Love,

Cle'

Hey,

Happy Springtime! First, How You Doing? Welcome to all of you new subscribers from California, Colorado, Hawaii, Missouri, and Washington - and internationally, Paris, Manchester, London, Wellington, and Rio! Much love to all of you who have been with me from the beginning...

And special thanks to my Network. So many of you promised to share my songs - and you did! I have seen so many new subscribers specifically from Quebec, Ontario, and NYC - thank you all so much for the love!! Let's spread this music all around the world!

So, I missed you while I was away but I brought back a song - "Tell Me". If you love it, please share! I also recorded another song, "Gravity", and it's in post-production right now...and I rap. :D Can't wait for you all to hear it!

Stay safe and well and brilliant,

Cle'
