Happy Birthday to Me!
This past Friday was my Birthday and as synchronicity/luck/fate would have it, it was serendipitously the day of my photo shoot for this new album “Every Day’s Your Birthday”. (Head on over to the IndieGoGo Campaign Page to pre-order your copy!! )
Now, this album’s message is NOT simply “eat cake every day”. I mean, sure, that’s one way to live like every day’s your birthday. But really the idea came from my own experience of realizing that it seems silly to wait for one day a year, or one occasion to treat yourself well. Or make it only one day a year when you say “Well, I’m just not gonna let anything bother me today because it’s my birthday.” And wait, 364 days to wear that one pair of fancy earrings that makes you feel great.
Why not treat yourself well every day? Why not find the bright side, decide to have a great attitude and dress your best every day and have a ball?! Why not celebrate every moment of your Life just because?!
And so, truly, it is no coincidence that I ended up having my photo shoot with Wendy K. Yalom. Talk about celebrating oneself! I can’t even begin to explain what a high it was. Between having someone truly get who I am, and what my album is about and able to capture it through her photograph, as well as having everything about the day being all about what was most pleasant and pleasurable for us, was phenomenal. (Not to mention having my hair and make-up exquisitely done by Jacqueline Menconi!)
An moreover, what was so fun, was that Love ruled the day! Hearts were everywhere! From my jewelry to this fantastic wall that was one of the backgrounds for the photos – love was all around!
With guitar in hand, and Wendy snapping away, color hearts abounding…it seemed fitting that I’d break into one of my new songs from the album Colors Of You: “I love all the colors of you: red, green, yellow, orange, purple and blue!” This wall and me were made for each other! LOL!
Magical. The day was Simply magical. And what you see in the photos above is the smallest taste. I’m looking so forward to sharing these new photos with you, and getting this album finished and out to the world! I just need a little help and then we’re done! Check out the IndieGoGo Page for more info on how to help with the completion costs and all the fun stuff I have for you over there!
Thank you so much for your support! And now let me serenade YOU with this video of Colors Of You:
