Welcome to 2014! ---- Shouldn't our world look like this by now??
Man, I don't know about you, but I'm sure glad it doesn't look like that. I'm struggling with the high-tech stuff that we DO have introduced into our lives. I'm not sure I could figure out how to drive one of those flying cars. And I'm certain I would program the Robot Maid incorrectly so that she burns dinner and bleaches out the darks instead of the whites. AND, I'm scared of heights, so I would hate living in one of those houses perched on a pole!!
Anyway.... my goal for 2014 (notice I said "goal", NOT "resolution") is to SIMPLIFY. I've just got too many things pulling me this way and that way and I feel I don't get anything done in an efficient manner because I'm too distracted. Do I really need THREE calendars? Trying to sync up 3 calendars has taken up way too much of my time, so....i'm saying good-bye to one of those calendars and I feel good about it! I'm cleaning out closets.... and getting rid of anything that I haven't worn in 3 years. I WILL say good-bye to those jeans I used to love but are 2 sizes too small now. It's ok. They'll find a new home and be happy... right? ---SIMPLIFY. I'm ON it. :-)

My BIG 2014 news is that I will be hitting the road again (finally!). I have enjoyed staying home the last few years, concentrating on sessions, being a wife, raising Sam, and helping with my parents. But after talking it over with the family, they have all agreed that they think it's time for me to go back to doing what I love to do, which is performing. So PLEASE check my calendar on my Official Site and if I'm at a venue near you, PLEASE come see me! One of the best things about touring is getting to see friends and family while I'm on the road!! There is nothing better than getting to have lunch with a familiar face while being in an unfamiliar city!
I'm starting the year by performing with the QUEEN, Miss Patty Loveless on a country music cruise in the Caribbean this month.... then flying out to California to meet up with the AWESOME Christopher Cross and his band to do a couple of shows out there. I'm super-blessed to be working with such amazing artists! Gonna be FUN!
