The Full Spectrum Birthday Song |
|
|
A ground-breaking birthday song for all ages with a buoyant, witty, wise flair using voice, guitar, wild and domestic animal harmonies, and surprising splashes of magical sounds.

"I wrote the Full Spectrum Birthday Song to acknowledge
all feelings as valid, ever present and worth celebratory embrace
-- especially on a day that commemorates our grand, feeling-full
entry into the physical world. May this song nurture an inquisitive
mind, the gift of self-acceptance and serve as a playful reminder
to continue exploring and celebrating the full spectrum of feelings
every day -- a present that is open to all." |

Sincerely,

"When my little friends come over, the first piece of music they request is always Pamela Sackett's birthday music. I've shared it with my five-year old grand-daughter and she asked me to say thank you for your beautiful song!"
Part of the Pamela Sackett Song Series. CD comes with full color insert with complete lyrics.--Gerie Lemkuhl, family practice doctor's assistant at Seattle Healing Arts "Pamela Sackett's Full Spectrum Birthday Song is a wonderful song of celebration -- not just of one's birthday, but of one's range of emotional expression, abilities & possibilities. At The Little Gym, we strive not only to enhance and develop children's physical and motor fitness -- but also their emotional fitness. Our instructional environment that we create is one in which children are accepted and respected for who they are and for how they feel. We acknowledge and honor children's feelings and encourage them to express their feelings -- that it's 'OK' to feel happy, sad, angry, etc. Pamela's Full Spectrum Birthday Song communicates these same values in a creative, musical and thoughtful way!" --Randy McCoy, Director of Curriculum, The Little Gym International "The Full Spectrum Birthday Song is fresh and brings so much more to the meaning of celebrating birthdays. The song and music are a real work of art. Much soul and inspiration for celebrating all of life comes through even in just that two minute sample online." --Georgene DeWald, Certified Professional Coach "Pamela's song reminds us of so many possibilities...let The Full Spectrum Birthday Song become the new tradition." --Arlene Plevin, Ph.D, author/professor "My three and a half year-old daughter loved the imagery in The Full Spectrum Birthday Song and requested we play 'that other birthday song' again...why settle for 'happy'? The Full Spectrum Birthday Song encourages exploration of all manner of birthday sentiments." --Collen Laing, public affairs consultant "Birthdays are a time when we celebrate the passing of a year and the beginning of a new one. Each year has it's ups and downs and in the acceptance and appreciation of these fluctuations, we find the immensity and deep meaning and joy of life. Pamela's song asks why just a 'happy' birthday? Why not celebrate and love the whole reality of living? It's a simple song, humorous and one with a message as profound as the ages." --Dan Richman, Seattle Public School teacher Listen to a sound clip

Ovation |
|
|
"Ovation touches upon facets of vulnerability spanning years, all beginning with my need for parental approval. If I could have understood how contextually complex and compromised those upon whom I depended happened to be, I might have been horrified, fascinated and freed. Instead, I was fraught with confusion. That kind of vulnerability didn't fade after the early years were spent, it just, thankfully, became more conscious and, therefore, more instructive. |
|
|
I dedicate this song to the drawing of distinctions, tracking of sources and defining of terms -- such rigorous mental/emotional activity will not undo the ageless need for social acceptance, but it might give our own vote more weight, alter the criteria and set a clearer precedent for meeting the tender needs of our children." |

Speak of the Ghost:
|
|
Speak of the Ghost is an evocative work that taps deeper instincts and fleshes out, in a series of seventy-eight finely detailed narrative poems, the author's retrieval of a full spectrum of feeling in the face of personal and universal repression and censorship. Sackett's premise: "The greatest gift to be had in tracking childhood and teenage mistreatment is in developing the capacity to communicate with, be nourished by and house the great spirit in your own emotions." |
 |
Speak of the Ghost audio CD |
|
In 1993, before publication of Speak of the Ghost: In The Name of Emotion Literacy, Pamela Sackett recorded thirteen of the pieces at Jack Straw studios in Seattle. Now you can hear the author in her inimitable, heartfelt style, still fresh from the generative process that gave her a deeper self-knowledge and lead her to the founding of Emotion Literacy AdvocatesTM. (Running time: 42:52) |

"As I listened to you, I heard the truth of my own story, uttered with such passion and wit...I felt shivers as the wave of realization rippled through me. Thank you for putting words to my experiences. I feel more deeply empowered to utter my own story now." |
