I went to the beach yesterday.....the first time this year! I was wearing a coat and a scarf and boots.....but once I got there I took my coat off and pretended that it was 80 degrees.
The day before, I bought this awesome countertop clay vase...the thing is huge! I filled it with sand pebbles, seashells and polished rocks and candles. It's like a little beach oasis indoors! Coupled with the sound of water splashing from my little homedics fountain and I am a happy girl! If I have grass, a body of water, some sand, I am the happiest girl alive. Going to the Lake yesterday was the best therapy for me. The fact that I can have my window open today is the best gift in the world too. I know I sound like a cheese ball, but I am so appreciative of the time that the Green comes around in Chicago since we live for so many months in the cold. Some people really appreciate the winter, it makes them feel alive. I feel most alive when I can smell Spring in the air, when I can take long walks with my dog and I can see her smiling face as she prances next to me, when the breeze is blowing my hair in my face and it's warmth wraps itself around me. I am in a beach state of mind always. That makes me happiest.
I have some exciting shows coming up! My friend Aaron Weistrop is going to be joining me at Lucille's this Saturday night. I am also still doing my weekly gigs at Suite Lounge and Cortland Garage. Recording is still in the works for next month, I am working on pre-production right now. This weather is definitely inspiring me!
My mind is all over the place right now.....maybe I should straighten out my messy desk area to get my thoughts in order too. It really works!
See you soon!
