A New Light

Last Friday was my last day of work in the corporate world. happiness, expectancy, and peace would be a severe understatement.

I almost immediately headed to Dartmouth to assist my choir director in running rehearsals on monday and tuesday and..to say the least, i am happy...and i sincerely thank GOD for that since it has been a long year of being in an unusually unhappy place.

this is not to say that life will be roses from here on out, but i know i am finally headed in the right direction.

i am now back into chicago and tomorrow is my first day of really feeling like i am not at work anymore (since i am in new hampshire on mondays and tuesdays) and i vow to really get my life in order and state my goals and start working toward them.

this is what life is about. GOD's perfect timing. talent. patience. drive. and most importantly, passion.

the world is my manuscript paper.

time to write some music.

On The Brink of A New Season

So...after much praying and fasting and making lists and talking to the people that mean the most to me....I resigned from my well paying corporate job.

Many may ask--in this economy? Do you have another job lined up? Why?

And to those questions I say this: When God tells you to move, move. Don't waste any time.

I am an artist.
I was an artist stuck in a cubicle faking an interest in developing better ways to sell and buy industrial supplies.
I am an artist.
I was an artist that felt like her soul was being dried up as she studied the dry science of the industrial supply market.
I am an artist.
I was an artist that was unhappy.
I am an artist.

I just told my Uncle who is a musical mentor to me and is the main reason why I live in Chicago now. And he is excited. His only question was: Did you speak to God about this?

That is the smartest and most pertinent question to ask. And my simple answer is: YES.

There are things in the works: my album, a part time teaching position of music, getting myself and my band out there.

Now that I will have more time and flexibility, you should be hearing from me more often (or not, haha)

stay tuned...
