I am SO happy to be back in the saddle with a new machine and improved workflow. My original lap top finally bit the dust and it's taken me a minute to get all the gears back in motion. I'm looking forward to getting back on the ball with the music and the podcast.

In great news, TONEWALL took home the semi-final trophy at the International Aca-Open Competition. Now we're looking forward to competing at Carnegie Hall with the best a cappella groups and singers in the country. Snagging this trophy was no mean feat.

July also brought a few lessons home. Many of them about my professional relationships and boundaries. I also have to challenge my relationship with money and with life in general. I feel a bit disengaged from actually living my life and being present, not only with the people I love, but with the goals I want to achieve.

I'm finally admitting to myself that I have a tendency to put the cart before the horse and am not the most talented project manager. What are things you do to manage your goals?

 And, yes, I know that Lil Nas X is talking about sports cars, but roll with me, a'right?
