  <div class="message"><p>Yellow Bird is a sweet new song just released in December 2021. Inspired by the visit of a real little goldfinch to my office window, it became a metaphor for hearing the voice of God in our busy daily lives. Paired with simple thumbprint bird art (made by yours truly) in the video, hope you'll take time to watch! Please subscribe while on my channel :) I'd love that!!&nbsp;</p>
