All kinds of amazing music and musicians have influenced me over the years.
Musical adventures have taken me around the world and my hope is that my music will take the listener on a journey. I hope to transmit through my music some of the feelings, places, sounds and flavours of the different cultures and lifesyles I've experienced from my roots in Saskatchewan, to many enchanting countries in Europe & the exotic sounds of the Orient.
I think I was born to be a musician. Being the youngest of 5 children who all played musical instruments and having parents that instilled a love of music in me it seemed the path was paved for me to become a musician. I began playing the piano as soon as I could reach it. By the time I started learning the harp I had already won numerous competitions in my home town of Saskatoon, Canada, which helped to fuel my passion for music. I continued my studies in harp performance at the University of Victoria, Yale University and in Europe at the National Conservatory of Nice with my mentor: Elisabeth Fontan-Binoche.
Spending nearly 10 years living and working in France and Italy greatly influenced my life.
I love flowers & butterflies.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where this is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Prayer of St. Francis Dear Julia wishing you a bleseed day ♥With Love Alleb♥
How beautiful a day when Julia touches it! Was thinking of you and thought I would drop by and say hello. Pray all is well with you and that you are feeling as blessed as you make others feel! Hugs, Nannette
As we use the talents God has given us, He brings increase.Just like the two others in this story, who went off and used the talents that were given to them, God brought increase. In both cases it was doubled. God will use us in far more ways than we ever dreamed of, and expand our borders so many people can be blessed as a result. Dearest Julia God Keep Blessing you and Your's With Love ♥ALleb♥
"Love is will, the will to share your happiness with all. Being happy, making happy, this is the rhythm of love."
"Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far. The secret is in action - here and now. It is your behavior that blinds you to yourself. Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect - whatever your idea of perfection may be. All you need is courage."
"There is no chaos in the world, except the chaos which your mind creates."
