Welcome to the show notes for Hejira! Episode 1. That’s right–this is only the first episode. I didn’t realize I could continue posting episodes until I published this one, so be on the lookout for Episode 2 next Wednesday, May 1st, at 9AM EST.
Unbeknownst to me when I dreamed up this program, Hejira! is a ten part special that quite literally changed my life. Should you choose to follow along, you will listen to these changes unfold in real time.
I couldn’t have planned it if I tried; this program is truly co-creation with the divine. ❤
I also didn’t know at the time of recording this that Joni Mitchell would re-release her catalogue of music back onto Spotify. This happened a month or two later, just in time for Hejira Episode X–will you listen to all ten episodes?
I sure hope so! 🙂
Now, let’s get into the goods!

Thank you so much for journeying with me in this Hejira. As stated at the top, when I wrapped up recording this episode, I thought this was the end of it. Little did I know this would evolve into a ten episode special that will premier every Wednesday at 9:00AM until 5.31.24 (more on this later–the last week will have daily episodes)!
Be sure to follow “Lover’s Lane” on Spotify so we can all journey together.
Can’t wait!
