Moving into fall I am hopeful, excited, nervous, anxious… all of the above. With it finally cooling off I am praying for gigs to pick back up. I've been doing my part in reaching out to venues, doing face to face card drops, hitting open mics and reaching out to past contacts. While I have been landing a few gigs, they have been somewhat slow. Maybe that's exactly where I need to be. This gives me time to write, practice and work on other aspects of my life.
My health has become a huge focus to me recently. I have done a lot of damage to my body between bull riding professionally for years, playing hockey since the age of 4, years of weight training and 15 years of drinking (thank God that's over). I have started to take time for regular exercise again, sauna, cryotherapy, massage, prayer and daily meditation as well as cleaning up what I put down the food pipe. Its amazing how fast your body and mind will recover if you make that a priority to yourself. So maybe that's what this time of my life is supposed to be… extended recovery. I'll take it. Till next time, Keep Going; you may not know what obstacles may lie in your path but you can be sure the daily grind sharpens you every day.
