In April I completed something that started twenty years ago.

By the time anyone reads this I will be on a 30 hour drive. This was the week before leaving on a Western Canada tour and naturally, I was busy getting it all ready. I filed paperwork, sorted merchandise, ran logistics, did rehearsals, all while releasing and promoting a new song, and working a full-time job. As the days got nearer I started to feel anxious about the less enjoyable parts of tour: crossing borders, cramped hotel rooms, missing my partner, the lack of sleep, an

I came into the week on a high. An album launch for my band went smoothly. By midday on Monday, 100 of our vinyl records were traveling to supporters around the world. What a privilege to be invited into someone’s home in that way. I was still riding that high when I got on a call with my writing coach later in the day. We were going over her edits on the latest draft of a story I’ve been working on since November. I had been excited for her approval since I submitted the

Since then, I’ve learned to welcome the love that comes my way every November second. The day started with a flood of calls and messages, a run, and a great breakfast with the band. By load-in, I already felt beyond lucky. Even more so when my partner arrived, just as

I spent today in amazement. Yesterday I had set an intention to maximize enjoyment for these last two shows. Tonight I was rewarded: people who I hadn't seen in a while came out, I ate great food, I was with my friends as their team won the world series. We also had the best crowd of the tour, and every band was on their A-game in response. It's the kind of night you can't plan, you can only hope to be there when it happens. We played at a House of Blues venue. I was telling
