Reflections and Projections

01/02/2013

While the end of the world did not arrive many other things ended in 2012. Mother had finally had enough of NY and relocated to Kentucky to be near her best friends and to regain a piece of mind. Can’t say as I blamed her but I didn’t realize until my visit home at Christmas that her moving away left me so melancholy for family and friends. It was a lovely and warm get together and an epiphany for me.

This past year was a great period of my own testing of my values and principles in my life. What is most important and what to do about that which isn’t. Happiness is important and I learned this past year how sometimes we are happier without as much connection on a physical level. I guess it was more of a reminder than a lesson but this go around I was aware of the dis-connect and paid close attention to how it made me feel. By golly it makes me sad when families and friends for whatever reason can’t be together more. They say “That’s life”.

So this year my birthday falls on February 13 of 2013. To quote my friend “Milk It!” :-)~LOL

While I was involved in several projects last year some things made it out of the bag and some are sitting there. The biggest thing was the release of the Sandy Jordan documentary. I’m looking forward to doing another project with Sandy, stay tuned… Sarah Rice and I did several performances of History Herstory and it made some rounds with good response. I’ll be joining her again in Wortsboro. While I continue to perform more outside of NYC, I am slowly building up some new collaborations and looking at different directions with my repertoire.

Recording this year has been on and off for whatever reasons. The LOVE album is about half way through and Obsession is on hold. I did step out and do some random recording here and there and hopefully I’ll have some new singles released soon.

It’s not been easy managing my music without a music director. I had forgotten how important they really are. I think I have identified just the right person and we’re preparing to give it a go. I’ll let you in on that as we get more near to an act.

It is the dawning of the age of Aquarius and like my friend said “Milk It” J *always gives me a chuckle.

My friends be who you are, know that I am with you even if it isn’t physical. This year the best lesson to have learnt is the appreciation of the love we share for each other. Let’s carry that into the garden…LOL
