The Night Before The Final Mastering

Just about a year ago I made New York City my new home. I moved with no real direction other than a feeling in my gut and a few songs in my back pocket written at some of the most painful stages of my life. I didn’t hope for anything, I wasn’t ready, I didn’t pray too much, and I wasn’t sure I deserved answers, but destiny led me here. That guttural gnawing in my stomach was soon to be answered. I started straight ahead at work on my record and in doing so I found the soul in my sound. I learned of the little trinkets in my tone and the beauty hiding behind the belts of my diaphragm. The gnawing in my belly all these years was just myself needing to be set free. I thought, if I don’t hash through this close-to-the-bone agony to do what I was gifted to do then this will be the end of me. I knew I wouldn’t have the energy left to pick myself up again. Tomorrow I have an appointment to finalize my record. I will go into the mastering session and I will hear so many beautiful sounds blossom like a beautiful rose filled with new life. I will hear my sweat, blood, and tears. My life stories will take off into the sky like a dragonfly. Most of all, I will be doing this knowing that I fought, I believed, I prayed, and so, I finished. This year has been filled with so much soul and so much guts and glory, that it is indescribable how my heart feels so warm and humble. I am jumping into my jacket and snow boots now to head into the studio, one last time. I will be finishing vocals on my song “Dragonfly”, the last song to be completed. What a perfect way to wrap this record and to start my new life, high in the sky where I have always dreamed of being, and so far far from my silhouette of pain. I will check back in tomorrow evening after the mastering of “From My Integrated Soul”. I hope I will be able to rest tonight! I feel so many things~

A New Years Resolution

The eve of this new year brings me great joy and excitement! I couldn’t have asked for a more fulfilling 2011. For this new year, my new years resolution… Is to just keep pushin’ forward and to stay on my steady path to great unconditional love, relationships, and success in my art! I feel beautiful things for myself, my loved ones, and the world. I feel 2011 has helped us shift, has helped lights shine, has cleared roads, made paths, has broken some of us down so intensely that our uphill climb may now begin. 2011 has enabled us to be a little less fearful of taking chances and moving outside the box. It has set us up strong! I believe we should all take strong consideration into what we pray for this year. What boils our blood or thins our tears? All of our yearning desires must be put into account because, for some reason, this year just feels so right, so plenty, so huge in such a lovely way… This is not a year for time. This is the time for a year… Amen~
