As you can see, I have been working on getting my site updated it's still a work in progress, but if it wasn't for my talented and gorgeous Songstress friend, Christina Maria, this ball would still be still! So a heart felt thank you to my Goddess gal, from Canada all the way to Switzerland, (where Christina is calling "home" these days.) Well, we are now into AUTUMN and out here, in the Hills, the colours are in FULL GLORY, what a scent in the air, so different from Spring yet just as beautiful. It's time to pull out the warm clothes, scarves, mittens and get your fall groove on! This past Summer was a hell of a ride; gigs, festivals, tour, NEW CD!! There was an element of a "Reality Check" as well, which I am still tumbling through. I suppose in life, there are ups and downs, that's normal, but when you are working towards one thing for so long, it can be a royal pain in the arse sometimes when little or no recognition is given... forcing you to question your life, your dreams, your goals, your purpose. The rejection eventually will take it's toll, but no matter what, one must keep on keepin' on...It's friends like Christina, helping a gal out when she is need; friends like these are the light at the end of the tunnel. With so many terrible things happening out there in this crazy fight-filled world, it makes me re-think my issues and makes me truly feel like living (and being okay with) living in the "now." Nothing good ever comes easy, and living with a brain so full of thought can tear one down, can tire a person to the point of tuning out and turning off. It's been a long haul, this "Sweet Musician's Life" and I am not giving up for anything, I just have to remind myself that it's my own path I am on, my very own story...and I just have to be okay with it. Any folks out there with the word "No" between their lips, that's okay too, there are just as many or more with the word "Yes" between their lips (and I would LOVE to find you.) It's a funny world isn't it? We are able to do anything we want in life, it just takes time, Love, sweat and tears and I am still willing to fight to get my sweet songs out, for me, for you, for the universe! My time, as well as yours, WILL come, right? Good. Now that THAT is figured out (phew!) I would like to inform you of an up-coming gig of mine THIS FRIDAY OCT. 7th at Ottawa's Old Town Hall (Main St.) I have the unique fortune of sharing the evening with C.R Avery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y3bPOCeQD4&feature=related and I would so LOVE to see some of your smiling faces out there. The doors open at 7:30pm! See you there xo
