"Hello my friends. I just wanted to update you all. I have made myself busy by fixing up my studio here in the house," she wrote. "It has healed me, greatly. While nothing but time will heal the empty space in my heart, I have been hopeful watching the world rise up and ask for more love."
Etheridge added that she plans to make an announcement about her musical career shortly, adding, "In a few days I will make an announcement about the new plans to return to my music. I miss you all and am so grateful for your thoughts and well wishes."
