I finished my MM in Music Technology!!  I am very blessed because not only did I graduate from college I graduated from my journey to self-worth.  After 8 years of therapy and training myself to love myself I am ready to try it on my own.  I have to say so far so good... but that doesn't mean I am done learning about myself or done with my journey of finding myself.  There are so many different layers to each of us and I believe each layer needs to be found to become your true self.  So my next stop on this journey is finding my creative self.  I couldn't be in a better place for this.  I decided to stay here in the Hudson Valley working at the Deep Listening Institute because this allows me the time and the environment to find this creative self.  

In the past month I have met some amazing people.  And I have met these people because of the encouragement I get from the people I work with here at Deep Listening.  I am very fortunate to find the perfect place for this adventure as I was lucky to find the perfect place for my adventure of finding my self-worth.  i believe it is written in the stars for me to find my true self because each time I am ready the world is ready to receive and guide me to that perfect place.

It is interesting how these different journeys cross and you find a deeper part of the journey before.  I found my voice after many years of silence during my journey to self-worth but now I am working on finding my voice in creativity.  Singing has come and gone with me.  It is something that is very fragile and personal and out of fear I would put it away for years or create a voice that is not my own.  Now I am seeking this powerful voice I have felt inside.  It is amazing how something like this can feel like it is erupting from within and that is how it has felt for the past few years.  I felt I was not true to my voice, that there is something inside me that needs to be let loose.  I am working with a vocal teacher and meeting some AMAZING vocalist to help me on this path.  I can feel this eruption starting to calm as I start to allow this voice to be heard.  I am so excited about the possibilities of this step and how it can lead to other parts of my creative self.  

For my first performance of this new journey I will be playing at the Deep Listening Space with Lisa B. Kelley on Saturday 6/26/10 at 8pm.  Lisa is an amazing vocalist and this will be something you won't want to miss!!
