Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
-Howard Thurman
I just thought I would say.
When misery creeps into your life, it's liable to start sucking your whole soul away. But when you cut it out, your soul begins to flourish again, until it gets back to the full health of from whence it came.
Over the past couple of years I knew I was miserable. In certain aspects. But I just pushed those little discrepancies under the carpet, pretending that if I never talked of them they would only just be hidden there, doing no real harm. I was wrong. It has occurred to me, in these past few weeks of stoked-outedness, that those pebbles of misery and discontent had a rippling effect into all other parts of my life. I was unaware of how powerful they were. I know that it's real now, now that I have a clear head to look back on my life circa 2008 until now. Because I had stopped doing and BEING so many things that I love. And now. Now I feel as tho I am back. Suddenly I want to record my music again, wholeheartedly. I want to talk to people, old friends AND strangers, about everything, life, love, and not be awkward or feel unworthy. I want to play shows. I want to come up with creative ideas to make money. I want to make other people inspired to do the same.
Again. Just sayin.
If we follow our hearts we may struggle to pay the bills, but our checks and balances with the universe will be much more available for us to see: as in we will know our TRUE selves better than ever, and because of that we will honestly know what we are capable of and what we should be doing with our lives. We won't be hiding our light under the bushel so to speak. I don't want to turn into a varied strain of the living dead. I would rather not live than live a half-assed life.
"Uneventfulness collapses time." John Steinbeck from Travels With Charley

LOVE LOVE LOVE this Adie. You are so inspiring. You have waaayyyyyyy too much talent, a bushel would not cover it. I also love that first line. So can't wait to hear your new tunes. And glad you are so happy and full of love for this amazing life. We are all so blessed. My heart overflows just when I see my dead flowers come back to life. And this evening Matt and I sat and watched the rain fall when the sun was shining through those dark clouds. The rain looked like diamonds falling. Where ever you look something amazing is happening. Love you xoxo
