Today, I’m writing you all from an airport in Phoenix, Arizona. My summer stay in Pennsylvania has officially ended, and I can’t tell you how sad I am to be saying that. There is never a good enough way to prepare to say goodbye to loved ones. Nothing is ever sufficient to sooth the ache that comes with distance. So I’m here, in a strange airport on a three hour lay over and I’m trying to make sense of it all. I’m trying to figure out how I proceed from here.
This summer has taught me a great deal about myself. I have been challenged, and at the same time these last two months have served as a much needed vacation from my ever-present tendency to stress myself out over little things. I feel like this was the first time in a very long time that I have had a chance to catch my breath. (And not just catch my breath…but continue breathing. In. Out. In. Out. It’s starting to feel normal now.) This summer has only strengthened my love for the man I will marry. It has revitalized my relationship with my sister. And these last few days, as I have been setting up gigs for when I come back to Oklahoma, it has renewed my passion for music and acting.
I have some catching up to do on the 52 Project. It’s been incredibly hard to keep it up this summer. I eventually got to a point where I had to allow myself to take a small hiatus from it. But I’m coming back to it, and I’m determined as ever to finish strong. Time is such a fickle thing, and I think sometimes I get so caught up in the goal setting/crossing things off a list/self-induced pressure of this industry that I lose sight of the fact that this is something that makes me happy. In all the legality of my own made-up rules, I sometimes stifle the passion.
I have a lot of upcoming gigs, festivals, and events though. So, please keep checking my Facebook page for more details. I am also planning some Concert Window shows in the next few weeks.
I will see you all next week. Thanks for your patience.
