This year is 10-year anniversary (TEN!) of my CD Long Road Home. It's been ten years since I decided to declare myself a performing songwriter--one who writes, produces and performs her own songs.
It was a huge step for me to publicly declare my own artistry, to own my unique voice, to say "I am an artist." Terrifying and yet somehow a feeling of arriving home.
I found that my voice as a songwriter, my point of view, crystalized once I accepted that I was an artist. And the fact of declaring it, envisioning it, made it come true.
I'm so glad I did. I've learned and experienced so much over the last 10 years, yet I’m still excited every time I’m part of that magical alchemy of songwriting. And I'm excited to be learning and growing, trying new things all the time. I still feel like I'm just beginning.
Is there something in your life you want to publicly declare and bring into reality? There is power in simply sharing it--saying it "out loud" or writing it down and sharing it. If you are so moved, put your declaration in the comments so we can support your vision!
