Entry #184
{summary}
Hi peeps! What's on my agenda for the New Year? I got my Dragon's Lair cd to people at Sony and their feedback to me was that they think I'm a strong songwriter and they'd like me to focus on writing songs for artists they're producing! I love writing music! I love to write in all different styles so, this is perfect.
I'm officially apologizing for not playing out in the last few months. As I said in a previous entry; I've been healing my wrist from tendonitis. I am going to yoga and being very gentle on my wrist throughout the day (and night) and it is healing, it just takes time. I played guitar yesterday and sang and it felt so good (in my heart-not on my wrist). I'm definitely not typing or knitting until it's really healed but I'll play some guitar just to stay in tune (I'm typing with one finger on the good side and using my voice recognition system). I haven't written much cause that's "typing" and a no-no for now. When I start gigging again it will probably be as a vocalist with a full band.
As far as all else in my life~ great! Winter has encompassed N.Y. and I'm once again, in love with this city. If I'm going to spend years on this planet living somewhere, I'm grateful it's here. It's really a bit of a love-hate thing but as of today, I'm happy I'm in NY. People know how to dress here! I don't always dress stylish when I go outside but it's nice to know that this is a place where you can really do it up and you're right with the way of life here. It's taken me a few years to actually feel like a New Yorker. My experience, moving here from the West Coast is that my metamorphosis has come in increments. A friend of mine, who I reconnected with in New York, told me that if you really want to do something with your career here, you have to give it at least 10 years. Before I moved here, I was planning on staying for about two years. As I sit here drinking Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, I realize I do love it here and I might stay for 10 years! Last night was the winter solstice, and the longest night of the year and our yoga teacher had us focus on our goals and intentions for the New Year. From now until June, the days will be getting longer and the natural energy for creating your life in the way you want it is synchronistic (more daylight= more energy). So take some time and figure out what it is you'd like to create for your life in this New Year, set your intention, and create it! And remember that change comes in baby steps; it's a process and the goal is not the end, but part of the process, part of your journey. This is roughly what our yoga teacher said.
The New Year brings a new start and fresh inspiration for the things you want to do.
