I was very optimistic after my first (and only) blog post last year. Totally did not follow through my plan of posting regularly.

There are many factors that play a role in the long break between then and now. If anything it has provided me with a lot of material. So there will definitely be regular updates as I contemplate the various factors on this crazy journey.

The theme that seems to dominate my thoughts lately is Time Management. Something I admit I am not so great at. Between having a full time job, being a wife to a partner who also lives this double life, navigating being in a blended family, active social life and of late some random health issues it is safe to say managing my time has been tricky. Especially if the time I need is to pursue my desire to grow musically.

Sure practising keyboard and my vocal exercises can be scheduled, even in the most tired state. Unfortunately inspiration cannot be organised. I wish I could sit down at my desk and write a song, like coming to work each day and ticking off the tasks that require my attention. That would be awesome.

I mean the ideas are there. I have so many thoughts and experiences that can be interpreted into something musically lovely. The timing however is not always convenient to my current linear lifestyle.

So what’s the plan? I am yet to find the answer. Until then I am setting small, achievable music goals and will focus on what I can manage musically given current state of things.

After a long hiatus, I have returned to keyboard lessons (which I am loving), I have a new vocal coach and record my inspirational thoughts for the album when I can.

I seem to be coping well. Knowing I have to prepare for a regular lesson, keeps me focussed and in turn compliments the creative process I desperately need to make more time for. I will keep you posted.

Shine boldly & brightly till be meet again.
