So, here I am in Portland, OR.  Just sitting around and blogging for all of you out there.  I am feeling happy because I had an early end to my work day.  I’m  doing some house cleaning out here in the NW.  Not my favorite thing so far, but grateful that I am working.  My employers seem like really nice people, but there is something odd about going into another persons home to clean it… especially since many of these homes are pretty clean!  Whatever…

I’m also living in community out here.  It has been really great and a huge help in making the adjustment.  It is always sad to leave people that you love behind.  I definitely miss Chicago, especially this time of year, right before the cold weather starts kicking your ass.  But I am so grateful to be living with three other people who are loving and caring and I hope I am loving and caring back toward them.  There is something quite vulnerable about opening your self up to letting others meet needs in your life.  It is easy for me to try and do that for people… much more difficult to recieve it.

So, those are some of the things I am thinking about these days.  Letting myself be loved and cared for… and cleaning houses.  Please keep checking back and I will continue to post new music and gigs.  Feel free to leave messages here or at the my space or my facebook fan page.  TTFN.
