About 3 weeks ago, I learned that I didn't get the grant I had applied for to produce my 3rd album.
I've been integrating this ever since. I've let the emotions and the tears flow, but I was also, with much gratitude to my Kundalini Yoga practice, able to see the bigger picture and understand that this experience is just part of my life's road.
A key moment in my personal evolution happened when I realized, about 36hrs in, that I didn't have a plan at all for my life anymore.
I had set up my entire plan for the production of the album, in studio and with the band, and all of a sudden, there was no more plan.
That was the lesson I had to learn.
I've been pushing myself in music so much for so many years now, it's time to stop doing, and start receiving.
I'm taking a big step back now, and I'm diving even deeper in songwriting.
The songs I'm creating are beyond anything ever thought I'd be able to write, and I know where I'm going with this new album. I'm completely letting go of the ways I used to approach my live performances in the past, and allowing myself to create and offer the live music performance experience I've always wanted to give.
My big lesson is to TRUST my path, and Know that when the album will be ready to be recorded, it'll happen.
Whereas before, I'd be in a pretty dark place, trapped in my mind, exhausting myself trying to figure out how to make it work, I know now that the wisest thing to do it to just let go, and let Life happen on its own.
I'm devoted to the Force that is Creation, and how it lives Itself through me -and now, I've fully picked myself up, and immersing myself in Creating Art.
I'm sharing this because I've always been real about my experience with y'all, and some of you have been supporting me for like 15 years now 💖 Infinite gratitude to all of you here now, I'm excited to share this 3rd album with you, when it's Time 🙏🏽✨️
