"Whatever you think you can do
or believe you can do,
begin it.
Action has magic,
grace and power in it.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have started preparation for recording and instrumental EP this spring/ summer.
I've been writing and arranging songs for it, and arranging for some other musicians to be on board.
I collaborated today on a surf song with an amazing guitar player that lives in Vancouver named Al Carness.
I also met with Scott Haselwood who is creating a web-site for me.
I've been having some good days and some really bad days. I'm still healing from my divorce, and trying my best to make healthy choices, and balance my life. I just finished reading a book by Julia Cameron, who is AWESOME, called Transitions. I'm also reading another book of hers called The Artist's Way which I couldn't recommend more highly for recovering artists.
I believe the Beatles lyrics "All you need is love", but it is a challenge as you know when love needs to change and evolve. There are Seven stages of grief which are: shock and denial, pain and guilt, anger and bargaining, depression (reflection and lonliness), the upward turn, reconstruction and working through, acceptance and hope. I'm not sure that it goes that way in precisely that order all of the time. I sort of started working through, and realized I was in denial... But as Wallace, of Wallace and Gromit fame, says "All's well that ends well."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
-Confucius
So I begin... writing, creating, healing, being kind to myself, being the loving, benevolent, positive person that I am. I begin getting to know myself again, reading, writing, drawing, growing, laughing, refining my methods and skills. Always persevering and doing my best.
I am extremely grateful for the years that Laura and I spent together, for all that we shared, and all that we've learned and grown. I am also very grateful for our continued friendship.
"I intend to feel good."
