We Dared to Believe

"I Guess I was wondering what you... were doing on the weekend, I've got tickets to the show..."
Since you asked, I was attending the concert of one of Australia's best musical acts.  Clare Bowditch is pure class and undeniable talent.  What stood out to me most about her performance however, is her humility.  She was not up there doing her darnedest to shine in the limelight of her fame, but rather to celebrate music, and give as much praise to the musicians she kindly shared the stage with, including the witty 2 out 5 of the Hot Little Hands.  Listening to her now makes me want to cry with joy, it feels so good for the soul.  Oh and myself and Ash got the opportunity to share the stage with her. It felt amazing, to be up there in front of all those people, and simply to share a well known tune with her.  I am proud of myself for getting up there, I could have wished forever that I had but I won't because I did! 
I got two messages from that night:
"From little things big things grow"
This could easily become my mantra for life.  Especially being so young, there is so much growing still to do.  It is like from small beginnings, life will flourish.  
"We are all that we hoped we'd be because this time, we dared to believe"
Without belief in yourself, and conviction backing your choices there is no way you could reach your full potential.

Live and Local

How exciting is it to see find out about live music in your local area if your not from a Capital City eh? I suppose even if your in a metropolis area you'd still be excited to see your fave acts but anyway I'm going to see Kate Miller-Heidke and Clare Bowditch with the loverly Ashy in the near future.  They are both exceptional talents in their own ways and whats more is that they are playing in the loveliest of venues- The Tanks, which are literally old big tanks... best atmosphere ever and we shall dance like no one is watching (as pictured above) in our 50's dress up or 60's mod dresses, whichever we decide.  Living for the moment and listening to the sweet sweet music xx.
