For anyone that knows me or follows my music career you know I'm all about thinking positive, having fun, and living your dreams! This past Christmas I received a really cool Christmas card from my amazing sister Carrie (who I used to call "lovie") and here's what it said:
I think this is a really cool card to receive from anyone and it inspires me to keep pushing forward and to keep living my dreams. This past November I was in LA at the TAXI Music Conference at a thing called a "Mentor lunch" where you sit down and eat lunch and industry people come around to your table and share advice with you. Well, someone said to me and my friend Thorn, yeah "chasing your dream" huh? We immediately stopped and looked at each other and at the same time said, "No, we're LIVING our dream." I always encourage people to do whatever makes you happy in life. I mean we only have one life and we might as well enjoy it.
I think too many people are too caught up in "paying their bills" instead of creating the life they want to live. If all we do in life is work a job that we really don't like and we do that for 40+ years and are miserable with our lives.....that's NOT living to me! If you're reading this and you're one of those people then I encourage you to start making small changes in your life. Start to create the life you imagine because until then you'll be dreaming of the life you want instead of living it! Here's a cool quote I read that I really like and is relevant to what I'm talking about:
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." -Lao-Tzu
Anyway, I thought I'd share this as I really appreciated this letter very much! It's nice to know that by following my heart and living my dreams I can inspire someone else to live theirs!
