Can I Be Honest?

Ok so I am rough, always been. I am a fighter, I am super strong...probably not as strong as I think, but still sometimes I barrel into circumstances as if I am invincable. That word, invincable holds so much power sometimes in my life, that when the reality comes crashing in that I am not, and no one is, I break hard...real hard. Right now so much beauty has entered my life. I am more free than I have ever been. I embrace the unknown, love like a LEDGAND (Love Effortlessly Drink Grandly And Never Deny). Yes I am aware that LEDGAND is actually spelled Legend. I have my own version of it of course. :) I am such a poser sometimes. lol So with all this wonder, when will I break? When will an onslaught of pain and confusion hit, taking me this way and that way, moving me from content to be idle, to hell bent on growing. Do I wanna grow? HECK YES! Am I looking forward to all the struggle and wounds that come with it sometimes...NOPE. lol But I will take each hit like a pro...why cause I am strong, not as strong as I put off, but strong enough to keep on breathing even when all the air is gone. I am only strong because I choose to be weak in the arms of God. I am not sure how that belief settles with any of you. Whether it offends or what have you, but oh well this is my blog ;) lol Today is an odd day. I rolled out of bed later than I wanted. I feel lazy today, being that its woman time and I would rather sleep this day away, I guess I am doing pretty good even being awake enough to write this blog. I have plenty, and I mean plenty of work to do. Research for sponsors for the summer tour, song arrangement rehearsal at 3pm, workout session at 5pm, a bunch of little things as well updates for the new music video, photo editing for press kits, e-mails to send, calls to be made. Maybe I could call Chel (my personal assistant) and have her handle a lot of the little things so I can focus on the bigger more hands on ones. lol She is so good to me. She takes care of everything I ask of her, I should give her a raise. LOL LOL LOL Anywho...Hope everyone's day is filled with LOVE and beauty and GROWTH. Don't be afraid of it...no matter how much it hurts NOW, now always becomes part of the past eventually.

In New York, Big Lights Will Inspire You...something something I can't remember the words.

New York City was way awesome. I however missed my singing engagement...due to some navigational errors that my friend Luke made. We got lost...let me say something real brief about men and how they seem to think women can't navigate...Luke got us lost...I got us found...too late to perform, but I navigated well. Luke is a country boy. :) lol The city is def not the woods. lol anywho...just thought I'd rant a bit. lol But it was awesome anyways, the club owner understood and offered to maybe book me in the summer, since my manager is booking a summer tour after we record the new album, it seems only just. :) The place is called Paddy Reilly's Music Bar, check em out on myspace. :) or Openmic.org :)

We did get to see times square, statue of liberty, elis island, radio city music hall, and the empire state building though. So we touristed. Being a tourist is fine for me. I am actually a huge nerd when it comes to being on tour for my music...I love to tourist it up. lol So sue me...yes I love postcards. Souveniers maybe not so much, but I did get this wicked cool New York hoodie. :)

Spending time with my families was the best part of the trip. Christmas with my Aunt Momo and Uncle Jeff, dinner at my adopted Family's house in Easton, PA. All in all the trip was a success, even though 2 of the shows were canceled and we got lost and missed the third, some people in the industry would have called that a dramatic failure. I call it God's good timing. :) Things are meant. Not that being late or irresponsible on purpose is cool, but when things go "wrong" or really when things go "different" from what we have planned, getting all upset and angry over things that cannot be changed is silly, instead, embrace the shift in the schedule and make a go with it. Ya just might miss the show and end up standing in Times Square getting a FREE HUG instead. :) It's woman time too...so trust me I needed it. lol

Nothing Is As Bad As It Seems...

As I sit here with my friends Dusty and Holly a christmas Beatles song plays on the television in the backround as I write these words and contemplate the up coming week. Crazy busy...cause NEW MUSIC VIDEO shoot commences from Monday Dec 7th to Wednesday Dec 9th. Then on Thursday Dec 10th I hit the road with my friend/2nd Assistant Kristin McFann and my other friend Luke Farmer. I have to sing in New Jersey and New York and we have a full weekend planned of "mini" tour fun! We plan on stopping in Easton, PA to visit my adopted family, then in New Jersey, crashing on the couch of my Aunt and Uncle is imperative. :) Statue Of Liberty and Elis Island Museum tours, Paddy Reily's Music Bar in New York Saturday night, and not quite sure of the booking in New Jersey for friday yet, but it's gunna rock.

I also have to shove some Christmas shopping in between video shoot takes, lunch in New York China town, and when ever else I can. lol I don't mind, this is my life and I choose to accept it :) Today has been a rough day. I won't lie. Dealing with people who shouldn't even be bothering my life and having to face the reality that not everyone wants to be "nice" to everyone else. I hate that. I am a people person. I love others so much. Yet somehow, we can't always have kindness and patience returned to us. So I faced that fact again today, I have faced it many times in life and it never gets easier, but my reactions gets better. :) Keep Moving Forward, great motto...watch Meet The Robinsons and watch a life change begin. ;) lol Yes it is a Disney Cartoon, so what? lol Well nothing is as bad as it seems truthfully. No matter what you're going through there are always other reasons in your life, maybe at that very moment worth being excited over, excited enough to ignore the bull. Right now an early bed time in calling my name. I must be awake at 7am tomorrow. But peace to all of you and stay awesome.
This is a picture of me and my 2nd Assistant Kristin McFann, learn her, she will be famous one day ;)
