well, after performing in Oklahoma City and driving all night beating the snow storm, we are near Albequerque, NM, in the Tijeras canyon at my Aunts’ house. Funny we just said goodbye as our group splintered off after a week in Austin for SXSW and yet here we are, with the snow that I last saw here the Christmas we brought my Grandma here, the Christmas before she died. The place where as I, sick as a dog, carried her, The Queen of our family from room to room, to her scooter, the bathroom, to lay her down to sleep…it was here that the morning we were leaving she sat where I am right now and looked out on the courtyard to see snow for the first and last time in her life…still hard to believe you’re gone…..
I just took a picture of Joshua wrapped in a blanket out there where we looked at the snow. I couldn’t help but to wish she were here, to know him, to know so many of you…she never was able to see a concert, or to see my peaceful heart….
These are the pics from the tour so far….make sure to join me on Facebook as I am real proud of the pics and stories…and I want to hear from you….

And here is a thought I had the other day…..
To LIVE! In freedom…in the light…with the only purpose being now….and the light, and the freedom….in love and the humble nature in which one can not be taught, but must be found. Fro you…for me…for someone. Dreams and not illusions, now and not then, effortless, bold, and always with kindness…
“Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure, measure a year….how about love…”

Jake…this is very beautiful…as with all your words. I believe that your Grandma is right next to you at every concert and knows that your heart is at peace. I believe she “knows” Josh…maybe even had a hand in bringing you two together. Love you so much!!
Dear Jake ~ Always your thoughts and words can shake and awaken one’s soul… so giving… so generous. Just believe….. find peace in knowing that your Grandma is with you. Guiding you, influencing you, there beside you. Remember the other night… I didn’t get to share my little story, but trust me and believe. Such a treasured, sentimental time for you to be (physically) where you are, and remembering these moments that are so permanently etched in your heart and mind.
“To LIVE! In freedom… in the light… with the only purpose being now….” This is you now, my friend! So beautiful to see… and I did… to know this place that you have found. Your peaceful heart…. MY heart sings….. my heart sings for YOU!! Dreams… one by one – they come true for you… for many, because of you. You know. You know how much I love you.
