Direct quote-
"This isn't your real job, so what is it that you do?" said Barbara Walters.
"No just a temporary thing, I'm a singer/songwriter starting a 1950's blues band" I reply.
"Keep up with it and good luck to you, maybe one day I will interview you" says Babs.
(Dani smiles and shakes her hand and wants to jump up and down like a little girl). Yet another moment locked in my memory as pretty fucking awesome.
So I work with a lot of high profile individuals, while remaining unnamed the origins in which I work its pretty cool that I get to see some very amazing people. Not that the fame is anything but that I admire their strength and stubbornness with their art whatever that may be. Sometimes the secret while in transition is to always know that whatever you need to do to make money and support yourself is a temporary thing. People notice this, the way you carry yourself always exuding grace and positivity. People aren't dumb in fact they can read something in you or not. I know I can, what about you?
I got to meet someone very passionate about her art and maybe she saw "that something" that I hold with the up most protection in my heart. She was kind and smiled and although I can only hope to have a fraction of her ability, she still rubbed off on me a little bit that day.
I told her what I do without a flicker of nervousness or fear that she would shut me down, in fact she was the opposite of that. Being scared or intimidated is your own weakness and is caused by lack of confidence and fear for what it is your creating. You don't have time for this, in fact its something you yourself have manifested. Quiet this now or it will forever hold you back. In this life there is no time, jump without a net. Fall in love like a fool and tell everyone what it is your trying to create this only makes it more clear. Thats how I see things.
So maybe one day I will be on The View and I can tell Barbara how on that day I got a little more determined to conquer my dream. I got a little more stubborn in figuring out this process and how on that day I knew I could hold myself alongside someone like Babs.
