I’m so excited! This Saturday was the official release date of the album I recorded with my sister Sanya! You can buy it\u00a0here<\/a>, or you can become our\u00a0Patreon<\/a> and get CDs for free! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The album consists of jazz standards which we are performing on our tour. This concert tour stretches all the way until May 2020.\u00a0Check out our dates<\/a>\u00a0– and if we are near your are, please come! It’s a fun show!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As I was boarding my flight this past weekend, I noticed two young man checking in with their guitars too. A Delta representative told me on most flights out of Nashville they have at least one instrument. Often they have 20 guitars on a same flight!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I thought about that for a second – how many musicians come to Nashville, or LA or NYC to make contacts, play shows, feel awesome for sharing their music, and even hope for a big break.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
And I felt lucky… very lucky… I’ve always had a steady music career, shows and gigs. Yes, I worked really hard on booking them (I haven’t had a traditional manager\/ agent since I left Croatia in 1992) and I never sat around waiting for a phone call. I was always creating my opportunities. I had a business partner (my late husband Matthew) who was also very creative in making 1000+ concerts happen. No matter what was happening in my life, I kept going – and singing.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I feel lucky and I’m really excited about our amazing concert tour…<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
—<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Before I left, I kissed my boys goodbye. I sat on each of their’s beds for a few minutes, soaking in their presence, watching them sleep so peacefully (I left at 4:30 am.)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I kissed their cheeks and walked slowly out of their rooms. I always had a hard time leaving them – and although they are bigger now and can take care of themselves, I felt the same ache in my heart… This is the first time I’m leaving them for five weeks! I felt that tightening in my throat, and took a big relaxing breath. I recognized the ache, let myself feel it, and then I released it. Everything is going to be fine. I have to go.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
My mom is staying with them, and David is around – and they have their band family if they need anything. I recalled how many band parents were excited for my tour and assured me that they’d help take care of the boys. Not one suggested I should find a ‘more stable’ job I wouldn’t have to travel with, and many commented how cool it was that I am following my passion and sharing my gifts with the world.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I ran into another band mom at the airport. She was traveling for work too. I don’t think it was by ‘chance.’ she was like a confirmation to me that I was doing the right thing.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Before we took off, I texted my boys how much I loved them. And the ache returned – mixed in with the excitement for performing with my sister, singing my heart out and doing the work I so much love to do (and for getting paid for it too!)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So, I scribbled into my notebook:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Here is to all the working moms out there<\/div>\n
who drop everything off when their kids need them;<\/div>\n
but<\/div>\n
who pursue their dreams and trust that the kids will be ok:<\/div>\n
who peel themselves off at 4:30 am to catch a flight, when all they want to do is to curl up next to their little babies and never let go of the embrace.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Here is to moms<\/div>\n
who miss the dance recitals, and band performances, and spelling bees;<\/div>\n
who cry alone in their hotel rooms because they are too far away to kiss a boo-boo on their kids’ finger, or hold them close on a difficult day.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Here is to moms<\/div>\n
who do this every day from 9-5 pm with only a week long vacation;<\/div>\n
who work two or three jobs just to put food on the table;<\/div>\n
who show up at work strong and put together, while falling into pieces inside.<\/div>\n
We are doing it despite the ache… but with excitement and sense of responsibility.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
And speaking of responsibility, I need to rest a bit… there is a five weeks of performing and traveling ahead of me!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Take care of YOU!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
