“One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.”
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Conversations at the beginning of the week to enhance my website have unleashed some new ideas about how I can move myself further along on my musical journey.
I have a webmaster who also happens to be a life coach.. Specially trained in calling people out on their “stuff” I didn’t feel I needed him to use THOSE skills on me. I just wanted him to complete some work done on my site, but I was challenged on what I doing creatively to make the most of all the new things people are able to do with modern bells and whistles. That’s just the way the man’s wired, I believe.
The answer to his query is.. to put it simply: Not much.
I was invited to explore other weblogs created by people just like me– who are trying to make their dreams come true. I could see that I’ve been left behind in some respects, with no one to blame but myself. There are no YouTube performances on my site, very few pictures, and no music projects for me to promote.
This is not the journey I envisioned.
So, I’m making some moves.. Taking some actions that will better position me among the rest of the singers who drive their own websites on the internet.
As my webmaster and I prepare to launch my new and improved “singer’s life” blog, I’ve started connecting with people who can help me produce a CD. For years, I’ve wanted to put out a disc of jazz lullabies… songs that babies and their parents would love.
There’s more. I have heard that I have songs on youtube and there were times I knew a performance was being recorded. I will effort to find them. If they look/sound fine, I’m posting them!
Further, I am getting rid of that years old photo of me on my homepage.
Know any top-notch photographers? Got any songs you’d like to hear on my CD project?
Talk to me, because I sure am sure willing to listen and act.
