Day 9 - TIME FLIES
5 December 2014
Hey all!
sorry for the late update. I have been suuuper busy. Not only contacting you amazing souls who have so generously helped to get me over the 1k mark but also doing a press release this week (for a local newspaper 'The Western Leader' - i grew up reading this one hahaha) and also kicking off the first gig of the tour.
Thanks to my mum I have successfully made a little bit of merch which I might keep to myself for starters.. I think it will be a good 'uniform' for me atm haha. I am looking at getting some really nice shirts printed post-tour- organic cotton and fairtrade and all that jazz. This has always been my dream. Anywho maybe if you're lucky I will give away one of the exclusive shirts we have so far.. we'll see!!
Although I can feel that horrible chunk of stress on my back getting lighter while the certainty of being able to make the dates I have booked grows stronger, there is still a little bit more fundraising to do.
First goal is to get to $1800 - this is where Spark will start matching donations. Fundamentally, if you guys can help me raise about 3.5k, Spark will throw in the rest. I think that's awesome. Isn't that awesome? Thank you SPARK.
And thank YOU for reading this, donating, following my journey.. this experience so far has already become quite an emotional one for me as i reconnect with old friends, re-acquaint myself as a musician in my old home country and receive daily messages of support from people i haven't seen in years but who have been following my journey.
"When there is a will, there is a way." I don't know who said this but it has pretty much been getting me through this hectic week - hardly any sleep, my bones are at like .43290% now from lack of movement and being by the computer non-stop all day (in between feeble attempts to practice for my second Auckland gig this Sunday at the Coatesville Markets - be there or be square..). Thank GOODNESS I am headed to my beloved Piha beach to catch some much-MUCH- needed waves tomorrow. I will share some photos...
A lot of love and light - straight from the soul
