Feelin' The Love


Feelin' The Love

This first month home has been one of rest, reflection and reconnecting.
I must say I get addicted to the road's adventure and never ending dotted lines, it really feels like our second home at this point, and one we love none the less.
Sinking our roots back in our community back in Austin has been pretty cool too. 

This morning I was lucky enough to be on the "First Timers" panel and share what I've learned with a lot of new, up and coming artists. It was a little surreal thinking about my first time sitting in the SWRFA panels, freaking out in the back of the room, trying to soak in as much information as I could, while scared $#!^less that I might say something wrong to someone important. Much to my horror that weekend, I would accidentally steal oreos from one of those people I was so scared of.  I hadn't eaten in 24 hours and on the way home in the car, pulled the double stuffed treats out of my backpack and quickly broke the seal and dug in.
Stuart turned to me with a weird look and said...."Hey where did you get those?"
"You bought them for us right?"
(long awkward silence...)

 Little did I know, those stolen oreo's have become a running bond with those "scary venue people", and they are some of our closest friends!

In the past 6 years I almost feel like I've become an adrenaline junky...stretching myself musically, artistically and emotionally in so many ways. Some risks have been well received, others opportunities to learn, but man, where would we be today without so many friends along the way pushing us to keep on keepin' on.

Today I am feeling the love, and I hope I am sharing a ton of it too. 
After all...there's always enough love to go around if we are willing to spread it!
