Man, Time Soars When You Least Want It To...

So it's been approximately four months since my last post. My goal is to keep you informed and let you in on the chaotic mind of a singer-songwriter as he/she pursues a truly successful career. But with a four month gap, I may have let you down a bit, and for that I apologize. Now on to the good stuff! 

Yes, I've been rather busy between booking shows, traveling to Nashville to finish up the EP and execute business meetings, writing new songs, rehearsing with the band, playing the shows I booked, and still being an adult in today's world. Haha, needless to say, it's been awesome! I would rather be this busy than be stuck in a stuffy office rationalizing my life and realizing that I should be pursuing my music career and accomplishing the tasks necessary to get there instead of being in an office all day. Yes, I've been there, and I realized that it's not what I am called to do. This music career has and always will be my niche, my calling. The Lord has blessed me with these talents and gifts, and I want to share them with you and the world! 

Now, there are some pretty cool, and rather game-changing plans being cultivated as you read this. I am not at liberty to divulge them until they are just about ready to be executed. I can't wait until these plans are put into action! They are definitely the next step up in my career. I really am very thankful for the awesome team I have behind me in Nashville. Shout out to my awesome manager, Lisa, and the very rad producer, Ric. Without them, I'd still be wondering where to begin. 
          
I'm learning that this industry's motto seems to be, "hurry up and wait." Things move quickly on a long-term basis, but day-to-day, it feels so slow! It can cause anxiety and stress, cause you're ready to go and get things moving, but the business side of it still needs solidified. Sometimes you can find yourself feeling stagnant and useless to society. Or at least that's how I felt. But I realized that it will be happening very soon, and that I've got far too much to offer the world, so I shouldn't waste it with negativity and wallowing. 
          
This is about all I've got to update so far. If you knew what these plans and developments were, I think you'd understand why I've been so preoccupied and away from my blog. And for that, I can't wait to tell you about it all! Also, I'm just stoked beyond belief for it all! 
          
I want to thank you for your continued support of my career. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to do all of this. I would not be able to pursue this life-long passion and dream. You are amazing and I promise to repay you with my heart and a lifetime of music. God Bless!
