Entry #73

  It’s Tuesday evening here in the big city and we just ate some of the most delicious home-made soup! It was Caribbean stewed chicken with vegetables!!! It’s getting cold here and it’s definitely the Fall so, soup is ON!   I’m singing on Halloween night in Westhampton at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Theater with Frank Latorre and The King Bees! Westhampton is beautiful and it’s always good to get out of the city for the night. I’ve been out there three times I think, and I haven’t seen the beach once! I haven’t seen the ocean here on the east coast at all yet. There are surfers out here and everything! Hopefully, now that it’s fall and the leaves are changing, we’ll take a trip and check out some parts of Upstate New York, maybe go up to Maine…I love traveling!   Did I mention that Lucinda Williams listened to the cds of mine that I got to her and she liked my music?!?! Isn’t that cool! I saw her on TV last night playing with her band and she was great! It’s funny how, for at least five years now, I’ve felt like I was (using thumb and index finger for measurement) this close to really “making it” in my music career! Brushing shoulders with musicians and actors that are doing what I want to do and are where I see myself going…I think it’s God’s way of letting me know I’m on the right path and to have FAITH!!! I DO have faith! I have MUCHO faith! Faith brought me here to NYC and keeps me here when it gets tough.   I really do love it here! I’ve been here for a little over a year now and I must say that I’m extremely proud of myself. There’s so much to do all of the time and you really could be out every minute of the day and night very easily. A friend of mine just gave me a hint that “the doctor says” one night out and one night in~ this keeps us from getting too tired and burning out! B vitamins also help, along with sleep!   May we all find complete fulfillment in this lifetime!   Jessica Star
