A close relative is terminally ill now with cancer. I went to see her in Alabama. They have brought her home for hospice care. I love her so much. It is so much to bear just seeing her in this situation. This is a very trying time. On my flight back to NYC, I was lucky enough to sit next to an actor whose work I have always admired. Seeing my ill relative and dealing with some drama that ensued with another relative left me crying in the airport bathroom as I waited to board the plane. My face must have been tearworn as opposed to weatherworn. He strolled down the aisle as charismatic as he always is in his movies. What a wonderful surprise. It was a pleasure to speak to him and remember why I sing. It was nice to speak to someone about what we live for, to express ourselves. It was perfect timing to have met him that evening. I am preparing to go back into the studio and record more music. I am moving forward. Life and those you love can be quickly taken away. You better do what you love now.
My singing mentor wasn't feeling well either, so I came to see her when I got back to New York. She gave me some more pointers. I am grateful.
