A personal Chakra Flow Reading that I wanted to share with you. https://www.gloriamiller.co.uk/

I think it's time for some of the rules to evolve.

I think it's okay to be in your head sometimes. Just do that shit in private!

As I’m getting older, my internal clock is getting louder. So much so, that I can’t stand the sound of actual clocks ticking. I made the hubs get rid of any clock that ticked, but that didn’t settle the unrest bubbling in the pit of my stomach. There is so much that I still want to do with my life, but sometimes I can’t shake that feeling of runnin…

I wrote this as a blog post right after the incident happening with Will & Jada Smith at the Oscars. I'm finally getting around to sharing my thoughts with you.

This past week following the tragic death of George Floyd I found myself in a really dark place. The struggle to keep anger from turning into hatred and rage is real, and we are seeing it played out in the media across the world as outrage against racism is unleashed. I finally had to stop looking at social media and the news as they were just fann…

I need to preface what I’m sharing in this episode/post with the fact that typically I don’t publicly share my political views, and I keep my thoughts and feelings to myself on social issues. But last night, when I stumbled across a video on Facebook showing the fate of George Floyd, I was disturbed and angered. I fell asleep and woke up this morni…

Is it optimism, looking at the world through rose coloured glasses or spotting a silver lining? I’m not sure, but somehow during this Coronavirus Pandemic, I have found simplicity. And with that simplicity, I have found a mordicum of peace. I just started reading a book about a man trying to live his life without all the electronic gadgets and apps…

I need to preface this post by stating that I wrote this post on the 22nd April when I was struggling with being in lock down. I was in such a strange place then and was unable to actually bring myself to sharing it with you. Well, here goes ... How are you coping with lock down? For me it’s been a strange combination of ‘Ground Hog Day’ and riding…

Each week I host Music for the Soul Radio Show on ExpressFM here in Portsmouth in the UK, and one of my favourite Artists to feature is India Arie, who I believe is a modern-day poet and my personal guru. Her voice is lush and her lyrics are thought provoking, which are key ingredients for music for the Soul. During this Corona Virus Pandemic, musi…

One of the highlights of living in the UK, after I got through the very hard first year, was getting to work with some fantastic original bands. ‘Contagious Vibes’ was one of those bands and I had the pleasure of working with them for about of year. I loved the music they were creating which was a mix of Soul, Funk and Pop, and I ended up writing t…

On Monday the UK prime minister announced three weeks of lockdown to try to slow down the spread of the Coronavirus. The hubs and I had already started self-isolating, and social distancing for the past couple weeks and one of the things I’ve been doing to stay sane is recording covers of some of my favourite songs. Sade’s ‘Sweetest Taboo’ is one o…

If you’ve been following my podcast/blog, you know that I’m on a journey to find myself ... at 53 years old. Crazy, right? This journey is proving to be a wild ride, one that involves courage, fear, intimidation, falling down and then getting back up. I have wanted to quit and just eat cheesy popcorn and watch Netflix, I have wanted to abandon my c…

This question is to my fellow performers out there ... Have you ever prepared for a show, and was so excited and looking forward to it, and then you get there and the audience seems like they had a secret meeting before the show and in that meeting they decided they were just not going to be interested? You ever had that experience before? Well I h…

We all experience that little voice in our own heads. For me, often that voice is negative. Often, that voice stops me in my tracks, distracting me from the task at hand with thoughts of ‘not being good enough.’ That’s the big one for me. Sometimes the voice shows up disguised as fear. Dread. Not something I’m hearing from within, but feeling inste…

There is a ‘ying, yang’ quality to the Ego. Looking at the Ego feels like looking at two sides of the same coin. And possibly, how it displays itself is just as haphazard as flipping a coin. Will it be the healthy Ego or the unhealthy Ego? The lack of Ego would lead to ruin, mental instability, a total disconnect between the conscious and the uncon…

Whoopi Goldberg has proven herself to be a great actress. I mean, she’s got an Oscar, right? But as we all know, having an Oscar is not necessarily proof of being a good actor. Whoopi won hers for ‘Ghost’ and her performance in that film was proof enough for me! Another film I loved her in was ‘How Stella Got her Groove Back,’ a film she starred in…

TRANSCRIPT I am learning to accept myself for exactly who I am, and who I am is turning out to be a nice surprise. It’s hard to stop trying to be what people want me to be, because having done this for so long, I lost sight of my true self. Last year, I started working on an original music project that I’m calling ‘no agenda,’ because I am realizin…

Do you remember the term ’be kind rewind?’ If you do, you are definitely showing your age. For the uninitiated, ‘be kind rewind’ was a phrase that was used by video rental shop employees encouraging their customers to rewind the video tape after viewing it so that the next person to watch that tape wouldn’t have to rewind the movie, and possible en…

On Monday of this week I posted these questions in my Facebook Group: How do you decide the right key for a song? Are all your songs in the same key? Does it depend on the mood of the song? The reason I reached out to my group for help on this is because I am writing songs in preparation for recording and releasing them next year. This year I relea…

I was speaking to a friend last week and she was saying how difficult it is to ask for things. This friend and I share many similarities. We are both singers, both songwriters and we both perform Tribute Shows to one of the most awesome women on the planet … Tina Turner! And, we have one more similarity ... I too find it difficult to ask for things…

I want you to take a moment and think about the people who are closest to you. Your inner circle. Your Tribe. I want you to take a moment and think about the people who are closest to you. Your inner circle. Your Tribe. Now think about the qualities these people possess. Their qualities are more than likely a reflection of your own. ‘Like attracts …

One of the things I miss most since moving to the UK is Thanksgiving. When I first moved to England 10 years ago, for the first two years I hosted a big Thanksgiving meal for my UK family and friends. The third year my good friend and fellow American, Marlene put on a Thanksgiving spread, but since then neither of us have had the time nor energy to…

Lola is to me as Sasha Fierce is to Beyonce … my alter ego! Lola is the part of me that allows me to feel the fear and do it anyway. Lola is confident and unapologetic. I couldn’t be in the entertainment business without her. The hubs and I celebrated ten years of marriage this past weekend and the day before we were due to fly to Paris to celebrat…

In this world of smart devices, we are used to clicking to make things happen. One of my favourite films of all-time is The Wizard of Oz. If you haven’t seen this film, you should. The first few times I watched the film was on a black & white TV, okay, so I’m truly giving away how ancient I am. But anyway, all we had in my early life was a black an…

My current obsession is Space. There is so much I don’t know about space and it’s vastness, so I might be here a while. It started with watching a documentary about The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft that are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-40-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are …

This past Sunday morning I woke up in a beautifully exhausted state and was still in the afterglow of having had two nights of fantastic gigs. Sundays are usually my day to totally veg and that pursuit was the extent of my day. On pops the telly and I start my day by watching reruns of Modern Family, my favourite sit-com. After the three episodes f…

Back in 2003 two things happened that changed the course of my life... First, I met the man that I would eventually marry and spend the rest of my life with. And second, I lost confidence in myself as a singer. Music has been my constant companion for as long as I can remember and sometimes we have a falling out. I recently discovered that what dri…

My idea of success is not having to wake up to an alarm clock. In my twenties I worked in corporate America and I hated having to be awakened by an alarm clock. In those days, I was a true night owl and rarely made it to bed before midnight. So when six am rolled around the snooze button and I became intimately acquainted. I commuted by train from …

Listen to the Track Blog Post

For as long as I can remember, I have loved words. As a kid, in all my report cards the consistent note from my teachers was ‘Gloria’s a good student, but she loves to talk ... she talks too much!’ My sisters always say I have the gift of gab! In high school my favourite subject was English and one teacher in particular, Mr. Tryba, made me love wor…

Last year a friend sent me a text asking if I would be interested in auditioning for an amateur production of Sister Act and my immediate answer was ’no.’ I could feel the word bubbling up to my lips, but before I let that tiny word stop me from stepping outside my comfort zone, I thought about why I wanted to say no. I was scared. Some years ago I…

This past Halloween weekend I attended a 3-day music conference in London. When I first signed up for the conference, I was so excited because I know I have a lot to learn about the new music business, especially since it’s been a minute since I’ve released my own music. Ten years, in fact. As it got closer to the event, I was feeling less enthusia…

Listen to Who Do You Love Transcript Do People Still Sing About Love? Well, according to American Country Singer Dottsy, at least they still do in Texas. But is the subject of Love still celebrated in today's hit music? I did a bit of digging and here are some interesting statistics; it estimated that between 2017 and 2020 65% of songs will be abou…

Listen to Me Too Transcript: THE MAKING OF ME TOO – PART 1 When I dropped my first single of the year, Me Too, back in March of this year, after 40+ years of silence, I was speaking about sexual abuse that I experienced twice in my young life. Me Too would be my first self-released music in 10 years, so I was scared. And an added layer of discomfor…

Download and Stream Me Too Blog Post Transcript: Last year I started working on an album project, quite by mistake to be honest. I started playing around with Apple Loops in Garage Band and ended up writing a song that I thought sounded pretty good. So, I kept playing around with these loops. Now, it’s 10 songs later and as of the 25th of October I…

I reference my first single of 2019, Me Too. Here's a few links where you can discover this track: Spotify Blog Post Transcript of this Episode

Hi. This is the introduction to my brand new podcast.
