Do you remember Play-Doh? That big chunk of gooey, mushy "God knows what it is" ball of greatness. You could roll it and roll it till you had that perfectly smooth ball, then you’d smash it out and begin to mold it into some random animal shape that ended up looking nothing like an animal. At least that was how it played out for me.Well, today I am taking my ball of play-doh, the dough that is me, rolling it out and beginning to reshape it. That is my mission. It's exciting and terrifying at the same time. I'm staring right down the barrel of a loaded gun of life changing questions. It's a weird and sometimes uncomfortable feeling to be in the cycle of reimagining ones self. I bounce between "I Got This" to "I'm Done with it All" weekly, if not daily. I'm starting to embrace the mission. My creativity is beginning to bubble. CREATE, that's my focus. Creating new music, apparel, jewelry, whatever pops up in my life and gets me excited. It's time to be excited again! I'm trying not to judge what's coming out but instead enjoy the process and be a vessel in which I let all creative ideas work their way through. It's difficult not to second guess yourself. In fact, I'm giggling because I'm doing it right now. There's no greater joy than creating something from nothing. The process itself is a pretty incredible feeling but complicated. It's overwhelming and yet joyful all at the same time. I'm already stumbling upon ideas and creating with some new incredible people I never thought would be "my thing" but they're giving me a new perspective and allowing me to let go of all the things I thought I should do. I'm finding "my thing." I'm merging all the authentic pieces of my past self with my present authentic self and letting go of pieces that no longer serve me. I'm truly discovering myself and it's a bit different from who I thought I was, in the best of ways. Actually, all these new pieces have always been there, but with so much outside noise for practically my whole life, I wasn't able to fit them into my puzzle.I haven't been able to breathe, till now. This new year has brought a new start and I am really getting excited about what's to come. It won't be easy but it'll sure as hell be worth it. Now, here's to trusting the process, enjoying it, trusting that everything is happening for a reason and in the right time. Here's to breathing life back into myself and my music. It's been a long time coming. I thank you all for riding the ride with me. LeAnn
