Showcase and all my eggs in one basket!!!!!
So, besides my sister leaving for AFRICA today (for 2 years to teach art and help orphans)…yeah, so besides THAT…I’m focusing almost all my energy (ok, my remaining energy while raising a 20 month old)…on my SHOWCASE THIS THURSDAY!
I’m SO excited to go and play my heart out this Thursday. The past several months since finishing my EP and working with my manager, Judy Stakee, I’ve really been putting my heart and soul into every performance, which I feel I’d been lacking in the past.
It’s not that I didn’t try, it’s just sometimes, when you’re the only one listening to you in a crowd full of people (LOL…and single tear :) it’s hard to pour your whole heart out! Since meeting and working with Judy, though, I feel like finally some things may be starting to happen and like at any time I could BLOW UP. (in a good or bad way!) ;)
It’s like, a legitimate person who’s worked with some of my favorite singer/songwriters believes in me! Well, I better believe in me 100% and believe in every song, word, note I play and sing! So my passion, that was always there, went from a fire to a fire storm!!!! I’m on FIRE!
And today I was just sitting down and all of a sudden wanted to type ” I put all my eggs in one basket” and what’s wrong with that? Truly? Cause, if you put your eggs in two baskets, and the other basket is safer and will for sure bring in money right away- I promise you, you’re going to pick up the safer basket…right? I mean…be wise, and be smart, but BE YOU! Put that big golden egg in a safe basket. And maybe it’s not golden right away, but maybe it turns golden as it ripens (get it, you’re the egg!). Like..I’m my own egg! lol.
But bear with me, I’m on a very profound (and silly) roll…Get it. I think it’s genius- I’m changing the saying. lol. It also reminds me of a new song I’m writing…about being Golden. Like we all go searching after Gold (and yes I relate this song to CA Gold Rush, I’ll post it soon once I get it to sound a little deep and not too cheesy)….so on w/ my thought. People always say we need this or that, or to be this or that…and then one day (hopefully one day soon) we have to step away from all that and go NUH UH! I don’t need none of that or as my song says “You’re just a lump of coal, paint yourself gold. But I’m the real thing, yeah you know I got bling..I’m Golden….I’m already Golden” (yeah it sounds cooler sung)
Ok, well it’s far too late at night to continue, because believe me, I could totally continue. :)
Let me know your thoughts and hope you’re well!!! :)
