Dreams

I have never been a BIG DREAMER. Even when I think back to being a little girl, I didn't have these huge dreams for my life, I never dreamed of being rich, or famous. Even now, I can say that some of my biggest dreams came true. I dreamed of going to college, and I did. I dreamed to be able to sing full time, and I have done that several times in my life. My dream in college was to be in the Christian music group Truth, and I was a singer on their very last tour. Those may seem little to many, but in my world, they were my biggest dreams, and they came true.

My dreams now are a little different. I dream of being able to take care of my Momma one day, because she took care of me for so long. I dream of being a good friend to people, and a light in their life. I dream of making a difference in people's lives with my God given gifts and life skills. I dream of having a lifelong true companion who will love me to my core, and I dream of being able to fully return that love.

These dreams seem alot harder to obtain than the ones above. My dream is that I finish well. "That the seeds God will let me plant will bloom eternally long after I'm forgotten".

I have said it before: Life moves so very quickly. Hold onto what you love, and give yourself away. Love is the biggest word there is. It is the strongest power we have.

Dream. Please dream.

Updates!

Hey Ya'll,
I just wanted to kind of give you people an update on what is going on in "tiffanyland".

First of all, I had a gig last Friday at The Listening Room Cafe in Nashville, TN with Benita Hill, Lionel Cartwright, and Clara Oman, we collected shoes for Soles4Souls! We had a GREAT CROWD! And we collected almost 2 collection boxes full of shoes!!! It was a great night. I am really looking forward to performing more in 2010 with my new music, the more I have done these tunes live, the more excited I am getting. I feel so at home with this music and I just LOVE it! I was just blown away at people coming out to see us, it is so motivating and encouraging, and I got some great facebook messages and emails about the gig, and all I can SAY IS THANK YOU!!!

Second, my friends Lisa Davis and Jack Purcell got married last Saturday night here in Nashville. Jack was the drummer in the band that I was in for a while called The Zodiacs, and he is the greatest guy, and Lisa is the greatest girl. And their wedding was SO special. It was just a wonderful, beautiful expression of their commitment to each other...which is exactly what you hope for. It just really touched my hesrt.

Lastly, the CD is on its way soon!! I promise! I gotta get pics taken this week or next and then the artwork, and all the jazz and BOOM!! YOU CAN BUY IT!!!

It is almost here...wow.

Oh, and can I just say how much I love Nashville, especially in the fall?????

L-O-V-E,

Funny!

I NEVER check out Youtube.com, unless someone sends it to me. But I was searching for a live performance of me singing and found these clips as I searched under "My Dorothy Shoes", which is the title of one of the songs off my upcoming CD. The first clip is just really cool, it is called "Anti-Dorothy Shoes" and the second clip is so funny, especially for your Muppet Fans.

Enjoy!

Almost there

The Cd is almost there. We are mixing it, and I am SO freakin EXCITED!!! I feel like it is my baby, I am so proud...
Actually, this experience is alot like birth. This has not happened quite like I thought it would. It has taken longer than I thought, the direction that it went in stylistically took alot of "fleshing out". There have been lulls in the process, and I have learned alot about trusting my gut through this, and ALOT about FAITH.
It would be easy if I could control everything about this journey and the outcome, but I don't think it would be as beautiful, or as delightful. The process has given me incredible amounts of joy....and I am feeling a sense of pride as I hear the end results. Also, a sense of relief that what has been caught "on tape" is authentic to who I am and what I want to convey.

So, I will keep you posted on where you can buy it, or come hear it.

Overwhelmed! In a GOOD WAY!

So, last week I recorded a choir on one of the songs for my upcoming CD that will be released SOON!! And we emailed people and asked for volunteers. And 12 amazing singers from my church showed up, and it just overwhelmed me. Thank you to the 12 of you for giving up a night to come out and sing for me!!! It meant so very much to me!!! Thank you to the Estoks for turning their house upside down to accomodate everyone!!!!

It just amazes me when people do stuff like that. It really makes you feel pretty good.
