As some of you may already know, life has taken some very unexpected and challenging turns since last July. After our family suffered a job loss last year, our house has been on the market. My husband Joe has also joined the Navy reserves and will be leaving in less than 2 weeks for nearly 6 months. When he returns, we have no idea where we want to leave. Should we stay in Nashville, move to Knoxville where my family is, or pick up and go somewhere completely knew like Austin or Charlotte? I can whole heartly say I have not a clue.
The good side of us staying in Nashville is I've already made some headway artistically here. Going somewhere new would mean I'd have to start all over. I had originally moved to Nashville in 2002 for singing/songwriting. Little did I know I was in the middle of a city with 10,000 other people who had the same dreams as me! YIKES. But, I have for the most part layed that ghost to rest. I still like to sing, but have not actual reason to be here other than friends.
So life is in limbo, and what that means for my artwork is I kind of have to reshift and just work on getting better and not try to book a bunch of shows, because I don't know where I'm headed geographically. So, I'll dive back into my books and continue painting over everything that I don't like as I try new things!
