I'm so happy to be sitting here writing to you!

Since I have purchased my tickets, my head has been swimming with ideas, plans, contacts, and daydreams.... but perhaps mostly daydreams!

Yes, I am a dreamer... and maybe you are too!  Perhaps that is why you are with me right now? I do hope so...dreaming can be so lovely ..

As I mentioned before, my main focus for this Blog right now is my up-coming European Tour!  I have my tickets...the dates are set, but now a certain process of planning is in order, even for a spontaneous spirit like me!

It all really started about 6 months ago. I began planting the "seeds". I shared openly about my dream and made more than few jaws drop at the boldness of it all... "Alone??",  "Do you have an Agent?", "Where will you stay?" and so on...

And, amazingly to me, when I explained that I was "just going" and had planned to "make it happen" I actually got a lot of support!  People would even start to offer me information, contacts, of what that they knew and had in Europe! Each conversation would flower...  Then, before the talk would get too far, they'd ask "Oh wow!! Can I come with you???" ...."Sure!" I would say...and I still do! Yes, come with me!! Why not?? Nothing is holding you back if you think about it truthfully.... and surely not me!

I am defining my contacts now. The seeds that I have scattered are starting to find places to root! And, just as in a garden, sometimes seeds take root under other plants, even in the cracks of a sidewalk! They can hide....so I must carefully transplant them so get enough sun and the proper nourishment. I have found too that the more I speak of this tour, I receive advise. I listen. This is important too. I want continue to learn more about what needs to be done. And, I will share that with you...

And, one last note before I close for today.  I do dream...yes, but a plan to play music throughout Europe, it is something I take seriously.  I must hone my craft...practice practice practice..with care.  I need to have the best of what I do to offer. I must say, this is something that should be the forefront of planning a tour,....to be ready to give it all you've got!  This is surely my plan...and it has already started....
