Grateful in November – Dim the Lights
It’s November and it’s a great time to reflect on the many blessings in my life. I am grateful for so much, but I have a soft spot for the amount of growth I’ve had since releasing Dim the Lights as my first album. I’m not a. newbie to music or songwriting, but I’ve always been rather private and careful about the music industry. The business side never really appealed to me after some bad experiences while young, and I focused my adult career on my writing and education skills. Music is my first love, and to keep it safe, I always wanted to keep it hidden. Ironically, this meant no one really heard my music. I am so glad that I reached a point after deciding to work from home in 2012 that I wanted my music released. My first two singles were imperfect, but I was happy with them being done. Finally, Dim the Lights became a realistic goal, and I have enjoyed learning more and more about music production and songwriting along the way. I’m still very private, but I find myself being grateful to everyone involved in making that moment happen. It’s not always about money or fame for real artists, so I love that I get to leave my music behind one day. It’s there to reach people whenever and wherever it happens to find them. How grateful I am to God for giving me a talent that can outlive me one day.
