More like Mee, less like you

“I put that record on…you know what song. And I let it play again and again. You’re in every line…”

I’m going through the memories of this past year that tonight is coming to an end and I am asking myself: WHAT were the lessons, WHAT were the blessings and WHO AM I NOW?

I learned that having expectations can only bring you to your kness, shattered by your own illusions and fears. Have none and the land of freedom is calling.

I learned that the truth never fails to come out, that true love has no logic, no age and it can hit you like a bullet. I learned that I can face my darkest fears, smile at them and have a glass of wine while I’m at it.

BUT MOST OF ALL I learned that FORGIVENESS is the most powerful weapon we have.

Looking back on this year I feel the need to count all the blessings I received and to raise my glass to life and the blood running through our veins.

Being able to make the music that is in my heart with the people who feel the same as I do and are my friends, working with artists and voices that inspire and motivate, having the opportunity to coach and be part of an amazing team and getting to know an inspiring artist like our MASTER! MASTER! MASTER! are some of the many blessings this year. And 2017 was a blessed year because a little ray of light called Liv Nola came into my best friend’s life and I am proud to be her godmother.

Yes, I am blessed for having all of YOU! You know I don’t need to make a list of your names because, if you are part of my life and touched my life in some way or another, I know I already told you how much you mean to me.

SO WHO AM I TODAY after all these lessons and blessings?

I AM MEERAH

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

 

 

Silence can be louder than sound

Sometimes the silence in my mind and soul feels louder than being at a death metal concert.

It is the fuel that keeps all the words floating inside my head, like a waterfall that never wants to stop and when it does… what happens when it stops?

That is the moment of relief, the moment when a song is born. What comes out of it is the MUSIC that I keep inside.

And I keep asking myself how my life would have been without this music? Who would I be now? What would I do?

Would I still have this big smile on my face when I hear a guitar playing in the background? Would I still NOT pay attention to conversations when my favorite song is playing in the background? Would I still forget how late it is when I play with my musician friends or when I write a new tune? Would I still be amazed whenever I watch a guitar player play or a cry when that song described exactly how I feel?

I don’t even want to know… all I know is that I am blessed to be who I am and with all this music around mee and inside mee…

Come and hear my silence!
