Hey there. It’s been awhile. I don’t know who ever looks at websites or blogs anymore anyway, but even if this message is for the ether, its my story and I’ll tell it to whoever will listen.
I don’t know about you, but manifestation has always been tough for me. Hell, goal-setting is tough for me. Everything feels so final. It’s almost like I believe in the magic too much and am afraid if I put it out there and it actually happens, that it might not really be what I want. Then there’s the harder part, of truly not knowing what you want, and making guesses based off other people’s accomplishments and what you think it might feel like if happened to you. Anywho….at this age, I feel like I should have a better grasp on all this, but I just don’t. I wrote a song called “Cherry” a few years ago, before giving birth to a little boy. The entire song is really about the constant battle in my brain between belief and doubt, all tied together with the subtly funny yet hopeful “horoscope saying: you’ve got everything you want already, even the cherry.” It’s the reminder to self that it’s all right there. Another dimension holds exactly what it is my heart desires. I just have to belief it’s mine. I have to claim it. I have to have gratitude for it before it’s even in my hands. It’s faith. No matter how you frame it. It’s just having faith that the Universe and the divine power that unites us all, has us, holds us, knows us, and above all wants us to win. Especially when it feels like it’s doing the opposite. Abundance is ours if we only believe.
So here I am, with my first full-length album on the horizon this summer in a thick fog of music industry chaos and no idea what the future holds, just that it needs to find life beyond my dropbox folder. I hope “Cherry” gives you solidarity in the hard times and a spark of belief that’s worth fighting for.
