Watch it all go down LIVE!!!

We’re gearing up for our CD Release Party on September 14th, 2007.

Watch me freak out until we get there.

People will probably ask, “Jody, what are you thinking?”

But really, we just want to be able to make a living making music.

Thanks for your support – it means the world to us!

Wish us luck!

Last bit of vocals and we’re done…

As we gear up to go into the studio one last time, before we send the record off to replication, I think about how much I’m gonna miss making this album.

We’ve had a really great time.

Sniff. Sniff.

This is my happy place.

I could live here…

Me and my Gramma Nan. She rocked out with us.

Have a great day!

P.S. – To my favorite engineer on the planet – HAPPY BIRTHDAY RALPH!

Diet Power

People ask me all the time how I lost 40 pounds.

All I can say is that it just kind of clicked for me when I was reading one of those juicy Hollywood magazines (I know, I know) and Renee Zellweger was quoted as saying (with regards to weight loss), “It’s just math.”

And it is.

I’m not sure why that never really hit me until that moment, but I’m sure grateful for that simple explanation towards eating.

Now granted, math was never my favorite subject. But sometimes, I think we need people to break things down simply, in order for us to see past the complicated explanations we’ve fabricated for ourselves.

Anyhoo… From there, I discovered a really cool program downloadable on the internet that helps track the “math” portion of losing weight.

It worked – and I liked it so much that I’m gonna share it with anyone that is interested.

This website is not paying me.

I’m not an “affiliate” member.

Just a fan.

There’s even a free 14 day trial version to see if you like it. (We like free.)

I’d be interested to hear your experiences with the program.

Or, if you just need an “atta girl” or “atta boy”, lemme know.

Good luck!

Happy Independence Day everyone!

Ahhh, the sweet smell of freedom…

I’ve decided to start keeping a blog – one that’s separate from the website news.

Something a little more appropriate for rambling about anything in general.

Here it is, if you’re so inclined…

Choices

I’ve been thinking a lot about choices lately, and how they affect the course of our lives, for better or worse.

Somebody really close to me said once, “You can do anything you want in life – you just can’t do everything.”

So true. So true.

And my internet buddy Chris Brogan said in his Twitter today, “The enemy of the great is the good. What are we doing right now to sacrifice the great?”

Something I had heard before… Phrased differently.

The concept being that life is good.

When life is good, there’s risk involved with possibly sacrificing it for what we imagine to be great; because we know how grateful we are for what we currently have.

So many people say things like, “the grass is always greener” or “you don’t know what you have, until it’s gone.”

And it scares me.

Still…

Then I think of my friend Ian MacDonald who says, “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

Afraid to sacrifice the good for the great…

So this Independence Day, I’d like to show graditude to the men and women who made it possible for me to live a good life; and say thank you to the people that taught me that it’s ok to go after a great one.

Because in not choosing, we are still making a choice.

And it’s better to try and fail, than to never try at all.
