I know that I chose this profession. I chose this life. I do enjoy what I do, and I believe I have God's Favor and a special anointing to get it done, but there are moments when I just want to bury my head in the sand, scream, and run for the hills! The journey gets really lonely often, not being able to trust all the sharks that enter into the pond, if you know what I mean. The sharks come in all forms, shapes, and sizes. They're often disguised as friends, lovers, sisters, brothers, lawyers, producers, songwriters, publishers, photographers, editors, record labels, etc., you get the picture, and they always want to steer you away from the anointing that you've been chosen to carry out. Why is that? Wow! We're sure going to have a lot of questions to ask of God when we meet Him aren't we? LOL. However, at any rate, don't cry for me Argentina! My head is still held high, and I'm pressing on....moving forward.....doing the thang....the thang I was born to do......SANG! SING! Oh haha! I know.....I made you laugh!! It's still a great day. I feel Blessed, grateful, thankful, and happy to see it! I don't even want to consider the alternative, no, not I! Case and point;
I walked into my local post office the other day, and they started playing my CD!! I was so happy. I tweeted about it on Twitter. I can't express how amazing it made me feel! I didn't even want to go into the post office that day. My hair was a mess, and I had no make up on, just big, dark sunglasses. It's almost like they wait for me to enter into the post office, and once I do, they play my songs and pump them through the loud speakers for all the people in the post office to hear while buying stamps, mailing packages, letters, and bills. It's such a positive move of support for me and my music and it's so greatly appreciated. It speaks volumes! Then I walked into the local supermarket and saw the current issue of Inland Empire Magazine and saw the article about me.
My picture is right alongside Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry.
I think that's very fine company to be in representing country music as a new, up and coming artist to look for!! The article is titled "Music: GURL POWER How Fergie, Rihanna And Others Are Remaking Today's Music Scene." Now that's a feeling I'll always carry with me and remember all my days. Even more exciting news is that I'm ready for the next CD. I have such an exquisite collection of songs that I can't wait to share with all of the fans! In addition, we are setting up to begin shooting the next video. Wahoo!! It should be fun! Be sure and subscribe to my Youtube channel so you'll be among the first to view it. The next single is an uptempo track, and that's all I'm giving away for now....more later.Enjoy the rest of your week, Loves!
