Such a powerful quote.

I am a scatter brain, I believe it is because I am creative but seem to always be crossing from one thought to the next. My mind is always on the go and sometimes I just want to be everywhere and do everything all at the one time. I make connections with people and become attached easily, but because I travel and meet people that I love everywhere I go, I feel as though I am always missing someone. I believe I am grateful everyday to have someone to miss.

When I made my first blog post, I mentioned some personal bits and pieces about my life, where I have come from and the stories in my life which has shaped who I am. 

I am an old soul, and I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe the people that walk in and out of our lives are meant to be present for a purpose. I have learned in time that it sometimes that isn't positive.

Thinking about love, it is amazing how many times we think we are “in love” or have “found the one” and then go through heartache after heartache. Having to walk away, or for some be walked away from. I have morals where I have to give something 100% before walking away or giving up. I believe that in most cases, I have given a little too much, people tend to take advantage of my kind heart. I became disheartened that I would ever find love, that I would always be alone.

Does anyone else believe that if you think bad thoughts, you shall attract bad things? I kept thinking bad of myself, bad of my surroundings, always finding something wrong with me or my life, and not being truly at peace with myself. I actually thought I was some kind of crazy. The more and more I shifted my thought process, the more kindness I started to attract.

Then I met Dan.

Well actually, I already knew him. We had been friends for a long time, but I found myself in a position where I could spend the time to really get to know him, and not him but his soul. 

When you meet someone with the same soul as you, when two old souls become one, there is security, there is love, there is contentment, happiness, but most of all and which I had never experienced before, there is respect.

What I am actually trying to help anyone that may see this to realize, is that there is so much good in the world. You just have to believe, and it will come <3

I am so lucky.

                                     The start of our journey 

“Don’t be afraid to tell your story, for it will inspire others.”  

It has taken me so long to build up the courage to start blogging, I always had that fear in the back of my mind worried about judgment, my insecurities kick in and I have backed out so many times. But this quote is what really pushed me to just write. 

I guess I wanted to give you an insight of who I am, where I have come from and how I got to where I am today, how I found love again after many years of heartache, and what it is like to be a couple of traveling muso’s which I hope some one out there will relate to me.

I have been a full time musician since 2010, traveling to rural areas in VIC, NSW and SA and also a few capital cities playing acoustic cover gigs and developing my craft, passion and musicianship. That has been my life since then. Some may say it is an unstable and insecure lifestyle but I wouldn't change it for the world. 

Some people ask me “When I will get a real job?” “Surely you must get sick of traveling?” “Is that really all you do?” “You can’t surely make enough money to live on from music?” 

Here’s what I think. I will never ever get sick of it. Starting my own musical business is one of the most roller coaster of experiences I have ever had. It is also the most rewarding, inspiring, exciting and adventurous careers and I could never imagine my lifestyle any other way. I will admit I have been burnt, chewed up and spat out by many of the industry’s professionals. I have been managed, and controlled. I have been offered deal after deal and been judged overseas and even had people take my own music away from me and try to change me as an artist.

For that reason, I decided I just had to develop the strength to do this on my own. And here I am.

I believe I was born to do this, I learned to talk through song, and making music is my life.

I will confess, I spent many years lonely even though I was surrounded by people all the time, I spent many weeks waiting for the next time I would be leaving someone and struggled to ever find a sense of security. I thought that nothing was forever and that things were only temporary, until I met Dan.

And that is how our journey together begins............
