Moving and Making and Touring, Oh My!

The month of June has come and gone and I am finally settling into my new digs. I am so happy with my new studio. Seems like I said that not too long ago but this time around I am confident I am here to stay!

Life is Funny Sometimes...

Life is funny sometimes. The best laid plans and all that! I had planned something entirely different for this year of my life and lo and behold I seem to be on another path once more! Not the path I had thought out and planned, so well, but one that may well be better than I thought when I made those plans.

Not so long ago, just this past November, in fact, I opened a new studio in my home town of Torrington, CT. I was scared to death in so many ways: what if I could not make rent? What if no one came by-ever? What if I failed? The thing about "What if" is that it can make you crazy if you keep thinking on it. It can become an obsession that leaves you doing nothing at all if fear is allowed to take hold. That lesson I learned long ago and because of that, and probably a few other reasons only the most expensive of therapists might be able to find, I tend to jump in with both feet once I make a decision on which way I am going to go.

Life Happens

 So here I am again, after too long a period of time! I was doing OK for a minute or two and then "life" happened. It is said that, "Life happens when you are making other plans" 
and that seems to be the case for me! Does it happen to you too? I know it does!
