Coming along....

After my last post, I have done some searching and reading and reflecting....and I am hoping this thing that I struggle with the most, will be less of a struggle...we shall see.

So this week I am in Tulsa, OK or as I so lovingly refer to it....Tulsee, OK for a recording with the Jazz Band. Woo hoo! Even though I don't necessarily like to hear my own voice played back, I am not minding it so much because as I listen to myself I hear things that I didn't know I jacked up and that forces me to focus more on what I am doing and will ultimately help me grow so...I'm listening away, and not cringing TOO much :)

Today is day three and we have three songs to record today, well not me. Just one for me. Three for the band. They're awesome and I'm so glad that I am getting this opportunity to work with them and GROW. I heart growth!

While some may disagree, I think I have an amazing job. I am not going to have this one forever so I am basking in the light I have now...which is all I can do. And...trying to be the best I can be at it.

So anyhoo enough about work. After my workday was officially over yesterday, I went back to the hotel and decided to skip dinner so that I could enjoy a dinner of a very large Diet Coke (hi Becky, Mark and Leslie) and popcorn while I caught up with what my girls Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda have been over the past two years. I went to the SATC-2 at 8:15 showing all by myself...and got sad as I saw so many ladies strolling in with all of their fabulous bags, outfits, shoes and most fabulous accessory, friend(s). I was missing my best buddy as I sat alone chomping on my dinner and dessert of Twizzlers as I caught up with Carrie and Big's 2 year marriage....Samantha and her post-50 hormones....Charlotte and her busy life as wife and mother of Lily and Rose....and Miranda, Steve and Brady and of course Miranda's Black (crack)berry. I texted my best bud to let her know I was thinking of her though. Miss you Becky!

A few more weeks and I will be going on the most glorious vacation which I am very excited about. We're flying to Puerto Rico and taking a seven-day cruise through the carribbean. Everyday we are in a new place. St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, St. Marten then back to Puerto Rico where we will spend a night there before we fly home. I need to check out the shore excursions...so excited!

Thanks for stopping by....

Shoot! I was holding out to see that movie until I had a buddy. shows my sorry state of buddy-life since I haven't gone yet. I should follow your example and just go by myself and although no one can take the place of Becky, I think a straight up large Diet Coke takes a strong second, especially if those stateside large cup size still takes up a seat all their own.=) Cheers!

My dearest Leslie and Ebony,

You have NO idea how much the both of you mean to me. Perhaps a blog comment isn't the proper place to tell you (although I'm pretty sure you both know the level of love I have for you respectively),,, I just wanted to publicly state it. I love you both!

{ps}
A "slammer" diet coke never takes the place of friends; this coming from an addict, of course. I'll take friends over a cold beverage any day!!! Including the kind that includes buttery movie popcorn.

Much love and compassion from my lonely part of the world.

-- Becky

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
