CD Release: Done!! Happy girl!

So, I know I'm not supposed to brag, but I just can't help feeling so proud, so happy, and so good about my latest project!  My brand new CD was released earlier this week!  It was released right smack in the middle of the CMA Fest (will always be Fan Fair to me, LOL).  The annual Country Music Association Festival (CMA) is the busiest time in Nashville, Music City, USA all year bar none!!!   How about these two events kicking off at the very same time:  CMA Fest 2011 underway, Tuesday, June 7, 2011....and the VICKI VANN BRAND NEW CD RELEASE "RECKLESS HEART" out on iTunes also on Tuesday, June 7, 2011.  Not bad huh? LOL.  I have to say I am still so very pleased at such an opportunity as this.  This is my dream come true! It's so very fulfilling!!  It's like I'm walking on air or something.  The day my record came out it was sort of like it could have easily been like having a wedding day, or having a baby, my college graduation day, walking along the beautiful Seine River in Paris, walking the Red Carpet, or singing on the Grand Ole Opry for the first time to a packed house, but the funny thing is, I thought I had much to do while recording, singing, writing, producing, etc. but I had no idea how much work was intended for me now that we are in full swing of an international, worldwide marketing/promotional campaign!  Sheeeezzzz!  I barely have time to run the vacuum, empty the dishwasher, water my plants, and feed my "always so, so very hungry" cats! LOL!  It seems as though I'm going at 95 miles an hour from the time I open my eyes in the morning until I lay my head on my pillow at night, or actually in the morning because I usually get to sleep at around 3:00 a.m. HOWEVER, it's all good! I couldn't be happier, or busier, and I think that this is only the beginning.  I do find time to eat a morsel or two of food here and there and I usually only drink water which fuels me...except for my occasional glass of Merlot which is a divine treat with dinner oftentimes.  Awww:))  But the one thing that I always, always make time for, always find time for, always squeeze in no matter how rushed and flushed I am....is PRAYER!  Yes, prayer and meditation.  To put it simply, these (and I'll now refer to them as one) are my saving grace.  It is my meditation that gets me through the morning or while I'm stepping out of the shower to hurry off to get to a meeting or an event.  It is the conversation in my head during yoga class or during a photo shoot.  It's the very first thing my brain focuses on in the morning and it's the very last as I drift off to slumber sweet land!  Oh how could I ever function without it!?  It's my rock!  It's my everything!  It's the one thing that I know will never betray me or leave me lonely.  I'll always carry it with me no matter how fast or how far I may travel, and I don't need a carry on because it's only as heavy as my heart, LOL.  Haha!  You see, I told you I was feeling proud, happy, and good!!  Why not head on over to iTunes, or go to my website www.vickivann.com and listen to my music.  Share in my special joy with me.  Download it if you like and please let me know your comments.  Send them to me:))
I wish you happy times too....mostly I wish you joy and some of what I have.  Try carrying it around with you. It will envelope you and keep you warm like no other blanket can.
Hugs!!
