Thank you SO MUCH for your thoughts and encouragement!!! I would love to create my own CD/band or get an amazing music job!!! and I would love to come to visit you!!! You make me laugh about swimming and the queen!
thank you for saying that I am doing so many cool things. sometimes I don't feel like it because all I'm really doing right now is going to school, playing my cello, grocery store, yoga class, occaisional muffin making, tutoring math students... crying myself to sleep!!!
there are a lot of goals and dreams I have that are on hold right now... maybe just as much because of graduate school than b. the biggest one is probably being creative as a musician and making new things instead of just focusing on getting better technically.
other things that I would love to do would be... do an anusara yoga intensive go on a meditation retreat at a thich nhat hahn monastary place travel to italy and eat amazing food in the countryside go back to bali and perform cello-gamelan pieces (AND STOP IN AUSTRALIA ON MY WAY OVER) move to london and live on a barge with my cello etc etc etc!!!!
but I'm not sure if any of these would you know, get people talking, even though the world of musicians is apparently quite small
I will do some more listening to my heart... and get back to you on that.
