Good Morning Peeps
This morning here in Nashville it is a cloudy and overcast morning, but it feels great for a lazy, fun day Sunday. I think I will take my time and enjoy my cup of Hazelnut coffee and take everything in as it comes! I have my Self Honey Do List of things I would like to accomplish, but nothing that requires my undivided attention or completion by a certain time. Which is always a good thing!
Personally...I feel like there is something to spontaneity. Which makes me lean towards creating on my mixer today! This week I was inspired to work on a song that sat for awhile because there was always something that was missing. Several times I would run across it and still nothing.
Well....this past week it finally just fell together by changing a couple of things and my whole outlook on it musically changed and i was playing it naturally like it wanted to be heard. I was excited. So....to say the least I can't wait to record a full scratch track and begin playing it out! Again...this song seems to hold the same energy like most of my songs do, but it is also different than my other songs. I think this excites me even more! Seems everything does indeed have it's own time...including my music.
This coming Wednesday I will go for it again at the Nashville Rising Star Competition. Seems there are four weeks left of the preliminary....I am able to try to attend the next two. So...that's two more chances to qualify for the next step of the competition. Like I said before....it's not over till it's over. Besides I will never know what could have happened if I never try. Hey...what does it hurt to try.
Again...if it is meant for me to win it will happen... or what ever is meant to happen because of me being there... will happen as well. Like I said before....everything has it's purpose and time to be.....in time the answer why or results of will make it's grand appearance when it is ready and when it's time.
Yes there is a lot of time in that one statement. Think about it...Life is made up of nothing but time. Time to live, time to breathe, and there is a time for everything. I believe God has a huge hand on the bigger picture and always reveals the scene when we are ready to look.
I think about so many things in my Life....people...opportunities, good times, bad times, the reasons why I am here today and doing what I do, the path I have long traveled that has so many twists and turns and wasn't always a smooth ride but it was filled with so many amazing moments that will forever burn a light so bright in the core of my memories.
Still all of the moments, opportunities, experiences added character to the core of who I am. Quite honestly I wouldn't change a thing.Today I have so much to be grateful for and none of this would have happened if my path was different. Sometimes....you have to take the good with the bad! Ying and Yang... It's all about the Balance!
Peeps have an awesome Lazy....Fun day.... Sunday! Until next time...I will catch you on the flipside!
