Welcome!

I write to you this day, with a lovely sunshine streaming through my room, and view a outside of snow still spattered on the ground. It is left over from our first snow of the year, on November 27, (which happened to be my birthday too!).  

Now it is November 29, 2012, and as good as a time as any to start my blog... 

Thank you for joining me today...

As most people, we can find it  a challenge to define ourselves...but when given the opportunity to vent a bit we can pretty much go on and on ....because after all... we are still living, still growing, and still defining ourselves all over again.

The main reason I am starting this blog is the hopes to be of interest as to the life a musician and artist of today.  So many amazing and wonderful things have come to my life through my desire to make and perform music.  I have met countless wonderful people I would have never met otherwise.  I have traveled to towns near and  far (and got lost both near and far! ) to experience places I would have never seen had it not been for my engagements in music.  

This brings me to the greatest musical travel I am working on! My European Tour!!  
It is my inspiration to start this blog! 

You say, " European Tour? How can you, Andrea Carlson, do such a thing? I have never heard of you!!" or "Why is it you and not me?"  and perhaps there are more questions in your mind.  I will be answering all these and more!!

But, I also hope to encourage you to do the same thing!! Anything is possible! I have found that to be true over and over in my life.  We have a power to make things happen....and we can't wait for someone to make it for us! We must be steady in our journey...but enjoy each and every moment...because it is the journey after all is said and done that was the most fun and thrilling, and not the arrival. (And, just a quick comment...um, well, we never arrive....shhhh! it doesn't matter!)

So welcome!

I'll have more soon...

come and visit me again! I can't wait to share with you!!

with love,
andrea
