Notes "Be Open" was a favorite Pocket Song in the summer of 2020 -- none of us knew what was coming, and being open to the possibility of something wonderful happening seemed both counter-intuitive in the middle of the pandemic, and surprisingly comforting and hopeful. And indeed, wonderful things happened in addition to hard and perplexing things.
Debbie said she wrote this song to help a couple people in her life that were going through difficult times. She says it is a great song to help manifest a dream into being -- you can think of something you want to come into your life and sing that into being, to embody it as you sing and to really see it happening, to call it in for yourself.
