Scatter the Light
Eileen’s new CD release of predominantly original music, “Scatter the Light”, is here.  The album reflects upon positive aspects of life and humanity, even in light of life’s struggles …focusing on moments of joy and gratitude.  The array of tracks is inspired by everything from meditations on family, faith, gratitude, and loss, to calls-of-action for living in the moment, taking chances, and finding the strength to survive life’s obstacles.  This themed album will uplift you - and will dare you not to be moved!
