Entry #185

Hi there! I thought I'd write a message just to keep you updated with what's going on in my life. I've been recording preproduction for my third album at Platinum House Studios here in Brooklyn. It's really fun and it's a lot of work! It's pretty amazing to be able to speak a musical language of sounds with someone, communicate the ideas I hear in my head, and have them understand it and be able to create tracks of music so that we can both hear it. This week we worked on," The River" and "Sweet Candy". It's going really well and I'm really happy that this is happening in my life right now. Actually, I'm very grateful. I moved to New York a little over three years ago and now I feel like the time that I've put in here is starting to yield sweet fruits. As I said in a previous message, it takes time to get used to the pace and to build friendships and connections. One of the big reasons I moved here was to be surrounded and immersed in the energy of manifesting my dreams. If you know anything about New York, you know that most of the people who move here, especially entertainers, are here to develop their careers and take it to the next level. I know for me, there are a lot more reasons why I need to be here. There's not a lot of room to slough off and be lazy when you live in NYC (unless you have a lot of money). I was perfectly happy living near the beach in northern California! I was happy, but I was not fulfilled. It was as if my future self was calling to me, urging me to walk the path that I'm on right now. Let me tell you, I am so grateful that I listened! Yoga is definitely helping me to stay sane, I recommend it. It's to the point now where we're going to yoga as often as possible. I'm learning about goals and processes and loving the process of getting there and knowing that the goal is just part of the journey, not the end. Yoga is helping me to learn this. All of my fairy best wishes to you for your journey! ~Jessica Star~
