I have spent this week fleshing out songs on my upcoming album for the Happy Healing Festival (Saturday, August 20th). The experience has been transcendent.
I had felt so lost in myself and in my creative expression for years.
Music - the outlet I loved most, became the very thing I resisted.
I tried to be perfect. I tried to be someone I’m not. I tried to squeeze myself into a box I didn’t fit in. It drained my wellspring. It left me in the desert. Lost and wandering.
Last year I visited the actual desert for the first time after hearing its call and it catalyzed a cosmic shift.
I understand now is that the desert is alive when I look for the life in it. It always has been. When I find stillness, I feel its heart beat. When I remember gratitude, I’m grounded by the dunes. I’m swaddled in the silence while the gentle wind and warm tones bring me home.
Descending into my deepest wounds has allowed me the space I needed to heal. It has shaken the earth and split me wide open to reveal what was buried inside.
It was never barren. I was never broken. I only needed to appreciate the beauty in it all. The experiences that brought me here. I have been guided all along. I am forever humbled and filled with gratitude. I cannot wait to share this music with you all 🙏🏼😭
With love + gratitude,
Willingness
I’m so excited for you!!! Wish I could be there! I’ll sending you courage and thinking of you!! 💕
I am so very proud and thankful that you have come to these realizations and feelings through much inner work and personal strength. I love you always Tori!
