August Happenings…
~ Solo Show: Sat., Aug. 9th @ Home Grown Music Cafe @ 8pm (Sharp)
I am grateful to announce that I will be performing solo at a wonderful venue on August 9th @ 8pm called Home Grown Music Cafe: 300 Terryville Rd., Port Jefferson Station: South of Rt. 347.
I would love to share my music with you, come on by. It will be a double bill with singer /songwriter, Josh Joffen & myself.
~ Pressing Reset… Thank You!
I was humbled and overwhelmed to receive all your responses around “Stilettos-n-Steel” journey’s end. Emails, texts, facebook messages and voicemails were left by many of you and I am truly grateful. Thank you so much. I will be getting back to the rest of you soon. It’s just been a lot. For those of you who I did reach out to thus far, you were all so kind and uplifting. I saw so much strength, love and hope inside each one of you when you generously shared your struggles, your tragedies and your journeys with me. Thank you for making me feel connected and not alone. Support is always needed in times like these, even though I want to pretend I’m strong and can do it alone. My strength lies completely in my willingness to be honest and vulnerable.
I have found that sitting still in a time of change is the key to allowing the reset button within myself to work effectively. Over the past month I have given myself the permission to listen to every thought that’s come into my mind, to feel every emotion that has entered my heart and to embrace every possibility that could have a chance for “lift off” as I walk foward into the next chapter of my life. Yes, the only way out of crisis is to dig deep within to untangle that knot. I’m NOT saying it’s EASY, but it is a MUST.
I am present to this… I lost something in my life that I had planned a future around. I trusted it and gave it my all. I did things I never thought I’d do in a million years. And that loss has now given me a new perspective, a new understanding and a chance to press the reset button inside myself. I have no regrets and I welcome in every new opportunity.
We all have a choice of how we respond to obstacles, surprises and tragedies. For me, I am doing my best to use what’s happened to re-light the fire, pick up that tourch and walk straight towards passion, purpose and uncertainty. Everything IS temporary and I continue to accept that and I continue to do my part in the big picture of it all…
