Hi Matt!! Thank you SO much for this!!! This is exactly* me!! I have a University Music* degree from 25 years ago!! And now, at a youthful & energetic 50-years-old, I just Sang* for my first time in NewYork* city!! (I am originally French-Canadian!!;) Our missions… our dreams… they were put in our hearts* for a reason!!! And it is up to us to set our own structures… find our inspirations… re-build the energy our dreams require of us… live in Faith* and get back into it - and according to our own rules!! - Miracles* don’t care about age; and Magic* and inspiration can be found everywhere, at all times, and at every age - society is changing and artists* will be at the forefront of re-creating it with even more beauty and healing!!! Let’s get to it; shall we?!? Thanks so much & have a beautiful day!!! Marilyne / Lady Starlight***

Refreshing to hear, Matt.

As you say, "There was never a window" and "The work doesn’t care about your age" is well worth remembering. I've chased Johnny down the block for more years than I care to mention. I had felt a growing dissatisfaction artistically for a long time. I couldn't quite put my finger on it though. But it's when I finally made the decision and stopped submitting to music libraries and writing for projects that things changed for me. A new version of myself if you will. I knew once I jumped off the wheel that it would be a hard road to hoe and didn't know exactly where I was headed. I only knew that I felt free to do what I wanted to do come hell or high water. Well, after this new found freedom started wearing off a bit and realized the checks were not coming in like before, I felt as though I was maybe going to drown. However, I eventually, and to this day, am so happy I made the change. We'll see how this new version of myself goes, but at least I'm free to do my own thing for the remainder of my time on this planet. I may be a bit long in the tooth, but again, it's well worth remembering, "The work doesn’t care about your age." Thanks for sharing, Matt. It's a wonderful day at sea, sir:)
