Day 19: The Morning After
Tears stream down my face as I flow and re-live yesterday’s concert moment by moment.
I am s-p-e-e-c-h-l-e-s-s. How does one put into words what only the heart has language for? It was one of the most amazing and riveting experiences of my life. I am in complete awe of what gets created when Spirit breathes us.
One women asked me, “When’s your next concert? I want to bring all my daughters.” Another said, “I’ve been to concerts at the Saddledome many times and none of them compare to the experience you just offered.” And yet another said, “I feel 50 years younger after having shared this evening with you…”
Amazing… and yet, I’m so clear that I received the biggest gift of all… a roomful of love & laughter… hearts a glowing.
My mind is quick to recall the little mistakes I made but the heart says, “ssssshhhhhh, you were brilliant Paula. Do you know just how much you sparkle?”
Well if the amount of kleenex the audience went through is any indication of the warm and intimate evening I desired to create, I think I do.
I wrote these words on the back of my program but want to capture them again here…
Grateful is my Heart…
For life, love and laughter.
For wellness as our natural state of being.
For friends and family who believe in me and my gifts.
For kindred spirits who gather to hear my music.
For generous souls who helped bring this concert to lifeā¦
Patrusia, Lesia, Larissa, Brad, Cristy, Christina, Toni, Rev Toni, Gabriella, Dave, Shala, Dennis and all my angels cheering me on.
For Hanna, my guiding light & source of endless wonder.
For my mom & dad, my heart opens wide.
For Spirit, who works magic through me as I breathe.
Grateful is my Heart!

OH PAULA!!!! No words can describe how haaaaaapy I am for you!!!!! Everything sounded like what I imagined…and MORE, I’m sure. (And yes, I was totally thinking about you at that time!!) WOW! YOU DESERVE IT!! Just look at how much you moved and enriched people’s hearts. Awwwwwwww……..
YOU ARE TRULY PRECIOUS
love, Lo
I’m so happy for you!!! And excited!!! And proud!!! And speechless for all the other emotions I can’t put into words!!!
Way to go, girl. You set such an amazing example for Hanna in so many ways. All the love and work that went into this concert is another aspect of that.
I love that we were brought together so many years ago. It is an enormous honour to call you my friend.
My fabulous friends,
THANK YOU! I wish you both could have been there… but trust me when I say, there will be a next time. I am so inspired to put on another concert. My creative juices are already churning about venues, song choices, musicians, etc.
I actually have to slow myself down and say, “Just take this in. Don’t leave this energy just yet.”
Thank you for all your love & support. It means the world to me… like you don’t know!
Hugs,
Paula
