Amazing Happens When We Least Expect It!

You never know what’s ahead, when you go by spirit anything and everything wonderful is possible!

Last summer I had a hankering to schedule a So Cal getaway, because it had been awhile since journeying south for an adventure. (Last time was 5 years ago I had a mini music tour with stops along the coast.) I wanted to go visit the place where my previous band mate/bass player and dear friend Dennis “Sox” Donovan, had drove his car off the cliff in Dana Point and took his life last March. I desired to go to the spot and send up some prayers in remembrance of him.

While I was meditating an old friend came to mind that I had known when I resided in Minneapolis Minnesota when I was 18 years young. I remembered he was originally from San Clemente and had moved to Minnesota to enjoy the lakes and people. I did an internet search and found him online.

I was lucky to surprise him and we had the most wonderful and blessed meeting. Now he had just suffered the loss of his father and his son within a month of each other and was really thrown a loop. So my timing was impeccable. This was no coincidence but a spirit thing.
I do believe the Lord’s hand at work here.

We visited at various times throughout the week and toward the end of the week, we got together for a lovely dinner at Adele’s in the San Clemente Inn. I was invited up to sing with the Frank Sinatra style band performing that Friday night. I had the Christmas spirit and so chose to sing my original songs, “The Time Of Our Lives” and “Santa On His Way” from A MISS KRISTIN CHRISTMAS. A great time was had by all.

We reminisced and more deeply rekindled an old friendship as well as making new friends with the locals. This was the hi-light of my journey although there were other blessings.

Monday night I sat in at THE GYPSY DEN and sang “YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU”.
It was a fun pleasure to meet the regulars and network a bit. The place was groovy too!
Great food and coffee with lots of talent! If you ever get to the Santa Ana area, I recommend this place for a musical stop off!

One goal when arriving here was to do some writing about being FREE for the new upcoming album FREE. I’ve been posting the new tracks at My Other MySpace Site

For some reason this task is a challenging one. What does it mean to be FREE? How does my new music affect people FREEly and set them FREE? These were all questions I was asking myself.

What I have come to understand after this wonderful journey is when we stay open, and embrace the unknown, blessings abound. You never know what good things God has in store for you when you trust Him and walk in the light. What does it mean to walk in the light? I like to think of it as walking in integrity. Listening to the still small voice inside, checking motives and finding true heart desires. And not being afraid.

My time here is about over, as I am to head back up the coast Sunday. I hope to do a Hollywood drive by to capture some fresh video and blow a kiss toward long lived memories of mine. Lord willing I will be returning here again before too long.
I would have liked to stay longer and the time went by way too fast.
The holiday’s are about here and there is much to do around my home so I feel compelled to return.

A quick suggestion and reminder to check out and pick up a copy of my ever so wonderful, A MISS KRISTIN CHRISTMAS

And until we meet again…on the road somewhere,
much LOVE to you always and VERY HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours!
