Long post warning….
Laura and I were out this morning having for the 4th day in a row, and regularly for a couple of years, reflecting on recent conversations we’ve had with Vicki , a dear friend who’ve we missed seeing and talking with for a few years. But like true friends, we can go a few years without contact and pick up as if it were yesterday when we do touch base or get back together. Just like bees pollinate flowers or the wind blows to spread seeds or water, we come into each others’ lives for reasons we don’t know, and sometimes don’t know for a while. More on that, later, but for now, it’s just great to plan a visit soon to see each other!!!
I just finished helping Sam Lowe record and produce a new song he wrote, which he’ll release later; I’ll share it with you when he does. It’s total “ coincidence “ we met months before,because we were camping in spots across from each other and we both have the same kind of dog, and fast forward 3 months, we ended up producing a great demo of a brand new song, that’s ready for a next step when the time is right…
“Everything happens for a reason”, and the hardest part about that is, many times, the reasons don’t show themselves until after your belief of that saying is shown, and not said….
As we go through our transitions in life, like brand new parents to becoming empty nesters, opening acts to headlining shows, or renters to first time home buyers , its easier for us to enjoy it, if we believe that even the ‘bad’ things are helping us move into the right direction.
Don’t put a timeline on your dream, just don’t give up on it. The universe has a way of pollinating itself with friendships for us that are designed to help each other. As I tell my students, I’ll bet my next paycheck or two that most of the music, movies, and games we enjoy the most, are made from teams of people, not just one person.
Yesterday had the most sectioned layers of fog I’ve seen!!!! And the transitions into sunrise.
