LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS

John Lennon sang, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." How true! How true! But, ain't life grand? Isn't it just an amazing, wonderful adventure?? I wouldn't have it any other way. Though, it's true that some of that "life" doesn't FEEL good in the moment! I've said this before, though, I believe that the difficult moments -the hard moments- make us stronger and develop our character. If you're in a heavy stage of "character development" then rest assured that if you make some other plans . . . well, some LIFE will happen and it might just be BETTER than those plans you've made!! All this life stuff is really just an improvisation and the key rule of improvisation is saying, "YES, and . . ." You can do it friends! Go on out there and make your plans and see what kind of life happens!!

SOMETHING'S COMING!

What I WANT isn't always what I NEED.


John Lennon sang, “Life is just what happens to you/While you’re busy making other plans. . . “ So true, isn’t it? I’m reminded of those words as they run through my head when something I wanted doesn’t HAPPEN! For example, this is the THIRD year in a row that I’ve applied for Nephew Aaron and I to perform at Bumbershoot; this is the THIRD year in a row we haven’t been selected. I know it isn’t about US; it is about THEM and what they need for their line-up. What they think will sell for their crowds and I respect that. It is something I wanted but; I believe that always when something I want doesn’t happen –well, something even MORE amazing is just around the corner! So, I wish the folks at Bumbershoot well! I know that they will have a wonderful festival and I’m VERY excited because I know something even BETTER is just around the corner for us!! Sending you peace today, friends!! ~Aunt Dottie
