yesterday marked one year since the distributional birth of my record “red soil in my eyes”, and i cannot help but reflect on what or where that means i’m supposed to or thought i’d be today. was i hoping i’d have been to the grammy’s in some no-doubt-fabulous gown and on my way to becoming a household name? sure. (she giggles.) while my grammy moment may not have happened yet, i am truly thankful for my journey and for your continued support. sometimes it’s as simple as the occasional encouraging comment from a total stranger that helps me to keep things in perspective just when i’m beginning to feel as though i just can’t fight to be heard anymore. and sometimes that’s all i need. today, i thank you for all of your unexpected moments of inspiration and i celebrate the undeniable song in my heart. love. always. somi
