A Bit of Reflection & Rest 

  Hello, my sweets!!

  I am super sorry about how infrequent this little blog has been.  I've been,  I don't know,  not just wanting to jabber too much I guess. But!!!

  Yesterday was my birthday, & I've been doing a little reflecting on what's been going on with life.  The past year I‘ve been struggling with a few health issues, and being the highly impatient person that I am, i thought I could just suck it up & muster through w/o having any draw backs.  Welp, the last few shows I had played, it got a little scary for me, because I  was just not physically able to be playing hours at a time. I did it, but I had to really take some time off.  It’s been tough, like, I cannot even explain how tough because music is my soul. To not have it part of what I do daily has just been the worst, self pity party and all.

  So!!  I've finally been feeling a little better and trying really hard to get my health to where it needs to be.  I'm finally able to go walking trails (w/o getting vertigo) if I'm out to long & its been wonderful.  I'm hoping to be comfortable enough to do shows by the end of the year, both physically & musically. i want to be able to perform and not be scared if I'm physically going to make it through the evening.  

  In the meantime, I've also been working on jewelry side project for some sort of creative outlet.  It's been helpful, but even that's been a little tough. This summer heat wave in south Texas makes it hard to do outdoor ANYTHING, so I've been keeping busy just creating. If you want to check out my other site it's www.WideEyedSirenJewelry.com  #SupportSmallBusiness

  Lastly, I am looking to start booking for fall & the holidays. I'm back to square one (almost) so if ya feel like listening to a little feisty folkster, let me know, it'll be greatly appreciated. & I'll keep ya posted as to where I'm at, even if it takes a minute for me to get there. 

 As Always, I wish ya'll all the Love & Happiness in the world.

Mad Love from your Favorite Feisty Folkster-

Busy, Busy, Busy 

Hello, my Sweets!!

  Sorry for such long times in between blogs, I've been busy doing things behind the scenes & life is just a bit crazy, ya know? Anyways, I've been doing some practicing & a bit of writing.  I've also been busy looking for places & festivals for the upcoming year ('cause it's never too early!) & since my poor little indie label that I was signed with didn't survive thru the pandemic, I very much almost have to start from square one.  I have to be the artist, as well as promoter, booking agent, marketer, producer, networking, (so many other small jobs) & etc... But you know what? I'm OK with it.  I just have to keep pushing & work a little harder is all, I still have big ideas that are just singing from my soul that I cannot silence, so I'm not!!

  I'm also still very much working on a new little series for my YouTube channel, it's the practicing that I need just a bit more of. Oh, & a bit of gear I'm working with to make sure it sounds alright.

  In between all this, i am still a small business owner & have been getting ready for markets, holidays, & just because.  I keep loading my website www.WideEyedSirenJewelry.com updated with new items. Go check it out!

  Also!! I have a performance next weekend, 2 actually, if y'all are in the SATX area & want to check it out. I'll put the flyers up here in just a bit.  So make plans to come & hang with me, I'll love you forever.

  Take care, my sweets, I cannot wait to see y'all soon.

Love your Favorite Feisty Folkster,

A Few Changes 

Hello, my sweets!!

  I hope yall have been surviving this obnoxious heatwave, it's been super brutal down here in south Texas. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water!!!

  So, I woke up this morning & discovered my Wide Eyed Siren Album had been pulled from all live streaming platforms, & I honestly don't know why. My self Titled EP is still up, so imagine my confusion. I got real sad for a bit then said, "Self, you realize you have a site you can sell directly from- now get off your ass & do it!!"  I agreed with my self. So I threw on some coffee & am currently working on getting things in order for it. My site now has a Paypal connected to it but now I need to list all my merch (which is a chore but one I'm glad to do).  I'm hoping to have it all completed this weekend as I'm not sure if I have pics for everything so I need to make sure that it all looks good!

  I also do have a few shows coming up in September that I'll have listed soon.  The 1st is @Pizzeria Vesuvio on S. Alamo (SATX) for 1st Friday, Sept. 2nd. The next weekend, Sept. 9th. I'm part of a full line up @ Fitzgerald's in SATX, I kick it off at 8:00pm & I cannot be more excited about the other bands as they are some of my favorites.

  Keep an eye out for things to come & keep cool & safe my friends.

   Mad Love you all of you!

    Love,

      Your Favorite Feisty Fokster-

New Trip Around the Sun 

Hello, my sweets!

  I hope y'all are doing well.  So, in case you didn't know, I had a birthday last week, & many thanks to all those that sent well wishes. I was able to have a great lunch with loved ones & watched a movie that evening.  I also began reflecting on all the things going on in my life & life in general.  Not quite the whole "what does it all mean ?" thing, but more of appreciation for my life as it is.  I've had many ups & downs, massive amounts of hurdles & road blocks than i could really care for, & swore someone was hexing me at one point...lol. 

  But what I've concluded was this; it all had to happen. It all had to happen for me to muster up the courage to make the choices I needed to get where I'm at now. It all had to happen in order for me to gain proper perspective of my environment to really determine that some choices (as painful as they may have been) were absolutely necessary for steps toward happiness. Would I have changed some things? I mean, definitely maybe?  Am I ok with things now? Absolutely.  I have had the good fortune of pursuing music, maybe not quite the way I imagined but I'm happy with it & all the opportunities it has afforded me. I get to be a small business owner, though its a lot of hard work & time, I get to do it.  I have the greatest family & loved ones that I adore with all my heart. I get the best opportunities to meet people because that's one of my favorite things to do. Do I want more? Well, that seems to be human nature, you'll always want a bit more, more money, new house, new car, new clothes, etc.  

  But am I happy with my life now? As I begin this new trip around the sun, I find that I am. I am content with my happy little life & the people in it. I may have had a rough go of things at times, but I am eternally grateful for where I'm at now. All my love & gratitude to you guys. I can't wait to see you soon.

Love Your Favorite Feisty Folkster-

changing focus 

  Hello, my sweets!

I hope all is well with you shining souls. This past Sunday was Father's day & I hope you got to celebrate with or honor the memories of your dads. It was al little tough for me this year but getting together with family really helped.

  I've been trying to change things up a bit for myself.  As I've been practicing music, I've been really focusing on the performance aspect of the music. I'll be honest, I don't think I've done so in the past. I mean, I DO practice the music so I'm not fumbling on stage (although I giggle about it if i fudge a little), but I don't know, I feel like i can still do better & give more of myself performance wise. Now, don't think I'm gonna get all crazy & have some sort of 5 minute flying finger solo, 'cause nope, I don't want to be full of an ego either (plus I need LOADS more practice hours for that..lol), but I want to really have people FEEL the songs, if that makes sense. I'd like to evoke the emotions I'm feeling through the audience. I don't know, I've always felt those kinds of shows, ANY shows, that could do that were always the most memorable & fun.

  Well, My next show is Friday, July !st With my Friends from LOADED (& many more!!) at The Starlighter in SATX. Show starts @8 & I'm super excited for all the talent that's performing that evening. I'll keep y'all posted with more things soon.

  I'm sending the biggest hugs to you guys & wishing you all the love in the world.

Love, Your Favorite Feisty Folkster
