It's special to share a song I wrote when Dan's first child was born. We adopted Dan as an infant from Mexico, and when his daughters were born, I marveled that the blessings of that adoption just kept coming! This video includes many cousins, of course! What a joy they all are.

"Rainbow Bubble" - Sharing a New Children's Music Video

2010-10-03T18:03:00.000-07:00

My daughter, Elizabeth, and I had so much fun gathering material for this video. We had bubbles everywhere! Sydney was our beautiful little fairy.

"Rainbow bubble covers me, with heavenly light,

Rainbow bubble dances in the air and fills me with delight!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV-rofHRXMk

Lyrics:

Rainbow Bubble

One morning in the sun, I play a favorite trick.

From rainbow colored water I create magic worlds.

Blowing carefully into the slippery film,

A silky, shiny bubble grows in front of me.

Rainbow bubble covers me

With heavenly light.

Rainbow bubble dances in the air

And fills me with delight.

I’d like to float away, take a ride for the day,

See meadows in the sunrise, while drifting in blue skies.

Lift me in the breeze, to lands of mystery,

Where fairies on the flowers, smile and wave to me.

Rainbow bubble covers me

With heavenly light.

Rainbow bubble dances in the air

And fills me with delight.

Rainbow bubble in the sky,

Carries me so high,

Bouncing over hills and meadows.

Showing me a world of happiness and joy.

Showing me a world to care for.

Rainbow bubble covers me

With heavenly light.

Rainbow bubble dances in the air

And fills me with delight.

Rainbow bubble covers me

With heavenly light.

Rainbow bubble dances in the air

And fills me with delight.

Support Ways to Empower Children and Teens!

2010-06-03T12:30:00.000-07:00

Support Ways to Empower Children and Teens:

On Friday night, eight 7th graders will step up to the lectern and give a speech, in their first speech contest. Now, you need to understand that speaking in front of people is on the "most feared experience list" for thousands of adults. Yet, these young pre-teens, and others in their Leadership Class, have committed themselves to a program run by a local Toastmaster. They are not only confronting their fears, they are learning speaking skills that will help them throughout their entire lives. I am fairly new to the Toastmaster program, but I jumped at the chance to be a judge at this contest. It takes a community of support to empower children and teens. Whenever I have an opportunity to help with that, you can count me in. I have often worked with teens, helping to teach them life skills and give them a place where they can find unconditional support. Speaking is certainly a life skill, and using my newly acquired Toastmaster judging skills, I am committed to support this program Friday night and in the future 100%. This is yet another "Stepping Stone" to empowerment for all.

A Dolphin Song- Mother, "Live in the Moment, Now!" by Linda Kay Burk

2009-05-08T08:00:00.001-07:00

Floating over the clear blue water in our small boat, I saw the most magical sight. In the distance, two tiny dolphins were twirling and spinning into the sky. Watching close by was their mother. I could just imagine those little ones callling to their mother to join them in their play. As the musical sound of the dolphin's squeals filled the air, a song came into my heart" - Linda Kay Burk

"Peaceful Melodies to Calm and Encourage Your Child"

It has been fun to have a new CD released this month! Everyone agrees that Barry Hansen at hansencreative.com did a great job on the bright, whimsical cover. His talents are really appreciated.

Soon, I will be sharing a few of my new songs with a local kindergarten class, where they are planting some seeds for springtime. ("She Planted the Seeds")

Getting feedback that my lullabies are helping children of all ages sleep better, is also rewarding. It is a joy to add positives to a child's world!

I am pleased to share my first review of "Sunshine is Love". It is a product of one of my favorite sites for Indie artists.

"Sunshine is Love" by Linda Kay Burk (Kids Artist from California(CA))

Singer/songwriter Linda Kay Burk has released another splendid album, titled "Sunshine is Love." Burk has captured the essence of writing finely crafted children's songs that soothe and comfort the mind and spirit. Her vocals are soft and peaceful while the lyrics are uplifting and relaxing. Burk's lullabies such as "Rainbow Bubble," with its soothing melody, will have any child fast asleep. "Heaven Is All Around Me" is an inspirational song layered with sweet strings and a gentle piano accompaniment. "She Planted the Seeds" is a playful ballad with syncopated rhythms and is filled with delightful lyrics about planting a garden. Linda Kay Burk's "Sunshine is Love" is a wonderful collection of songs filled with dreamy melodies that all children will love to hear.

Recording a New Children's CD

2008-12-22T14:35:00.000-08:00

In November I finished recording my new children's CD,Sunshine is Love, at Lakeview Recording Studio. Laughter and fun sums up my experience of writing and singing these songs, and I have enjoyed the production of this CD immensely. Surrounded by various experts in their fields, I have learned and grown as a singer/songwriter while watching my lyrics and melodies magically blossom.

With Brian Jensen’s insight, expertise, and counsel my lyrics and melodies were brought to life. Then, with his creative arrangements they took flight. Add to that the wonderful studio musicians who lent their positive spirit and many talents as they filled the studio with their angelic sounds. With Brian conducting, they soared to the peaceful land of childhood dreams and joyful wishes. Steve Lerud was a miracle-worker in the Lakeview Recording studio. Ever watchful, jovial, and encouraging, his confident presence at the engineering station was an anchor. His ideas and suggestions were always insightful and helpful. Catching the bright, whimsical nature of my songs, Barry Hansen designed the delightful cover. Greg Hansen’s good will, enthusiasm, and encouragement enveloped the project from the beginning. With positive words, his kindness and support could be felt everywhere. Sharing his vast knowledge of the music business comes so naturally to Greg. Thank you!

"Singing the Songs of My Heart", CD Review-Songs for Children and Families

2008-08-07T13:29:00.000-07:00

Singing the Songs of My Heart" is the family-oriented easy listening debut from singer/songwriter Linda Kay Burk. Linda Kay uses great imagery and narrative structure and draws from her own life experience to weave together these soothing and positive songs of comfort and joy. Particularly prevalent is her imagery of the great outdoors, as she sings about butterflies, dolphins, swimming, and playing outside. Each song is kid-friendly and some are outright children's songs, but her strong and soothing vocal performance and great, piano-driven arrangements give adults something to enjoy as well. The recording quality of "Singing the Songs of My Heart" is great, and the entire album sounds polished and professional. "I Believe in Miracles" is a ballad about Linda Kay's personal healing process, a more adult contemporary track with a fitting soft arrangement and a great vocal performance. "Live in the Moment, Now!" begins with the sound of crashing waves and a nice piano introduction, then turns into a song about taking the time to play with your children, to share joy with them and to live for today. Linda Kay Burk offers her heart and ten positive, uplifting tracks that can be appreciated by the entire family with her debut, "Singing the Songs of My Heart." If you are a parent who enjoys easy listening, adult contemporary and want a great album to put your child to sleep with, pick up this album.

The Color of the Sunset

2008-07-29T09:46:00.000-07:00

I stand in the sand, soft and moist,

Feeling the breeze in my hair.

Then coral and blue in the sky above

Flash these words to me:

You don’t have to do to feel the joy.

You don’t have to fear you aren’t good enough.

You don’t have to smile to cover the pain.

You only need to be.

You don’t have to do the mothering right.

You don’t have to be so good.

You don’t have to please everyone in sight.

You only need to be.

You don’t have to do to enjoy me.

You don’t have to get it right.

Don’t force a smile; just relax for a while.

You only need to be.

You don’t have to do;

It’s waiting for you.

Look past it all

And enjoy me!

THE JOURNEY

2008-07-28T09:43:00.000-07:00

She carefully found her steppingstones buried under the sparkling water.

Peering closely she saw letters delicately carved in each gray rock:

Happy

Certain

Present

Confident

Personal Power

The words glistened as the letters cut into the stones,

Revealing a glittering white granite underneath the smoky exterior.

Treasures! She had found the treasures.

Carefully she stepped into the clear, cold water.

The stones were solid and she put her full weight on them.

Sparkling blue water covered her ankles.

The sun peeked through the tall green trees.

Light glistened all around.

In the pristine silence she heard a whisper,

“This is Heaven.”

Her joy was full.

BE IN JOY

2008-07-27T15:19:00.000-07:00

Dare to laugh, smile, and be happy.

Take a trip,

Face your fears.

Swim with the dolphins.

Jump off a cliff.

Ride in a red convertible.

Drink kava-kava with friends.

Eat sushi and ice cream.

Laugh with a friend.

Stroll through the village.

Wear a fragrant lei.

Take a drive in the country.

See the Valley of the Kings.

Enter the Peace Garden.

Walk a labyrinth.

Talk to a parrot.

Sit in community and in joy.

Bring Heaven to Earth!
