Need a Break!


sandywellsonline 11/18/2013 A day in the life!, Home

I’m not taking a break however, sometimes in life you have to give yourself a break!

I love music.   It is where my heart is however, the dream I have and the goals I’ve set are not easy.    It’s funny,  people will say to me “Isn’t this so much fun, aren’t you having a blast?”

Truth? Yes,  music is a blast and fun, however, it’s exhausting :)!   Sometimes your hearts passion can absolutely tear you a part.  It’s a lot like Love, not being sappy but, love isn’t easy right?   I mean if it was, none of us would connect with lyrics like, “love hurts, love wounds, love scars……”

I was always taught that you never do things half-assed, excuse the expression but, those are Grandpa’s words and I don’t change those :).   You do everything fully and you never settle for anything but your best.  If you think about it, that’s a tall order!   It’s amazing the pressure we put on ourselves and our lives when we go after what we want and never settle, and most of the time we  think we’re not at our best!   We’re our own worst critic in everything we do.

I am learning  that sometimes I need to give myself a break.  I need to take time to breathe and realize that it’s okay to sit, reflect, just be.    This is hard to do and I know I’m not alone.      Since as far back as I can remember I have always been a doer!   If you sleep you miss something.  If you’re not in the know, you’re not gonna know!  If  you wait for something to come to you or take a break somebody or something passes you and that’s just not okay.  Well, truth is, it’s okay!

To stay grounded and be the best you’ve got to be focused and when you’re always going and doing when do you focus?

I am taking a break, an hour, an evening to just be.       My just being tonight was, cooking dinner, cleaning the kitchen (deep cleaning),  changing out a curtain rod and making myself the best Dirty Vodka Martini ever 🙂 LOL !    Funny the stuff that makes you feel reconnected and grounded!

Take a breathe with me, find a way to stop and connect with you! Give yourself a break,  take a step back and look at how far you’ve come and celebrate it.    Remember, tomorrow will be here soon enough and you know the minute you’re eyes open they’ll be focusing again on your goals and your dreams and not how far you’ve come but how far you want to go !!!!

SANDY WELLS

Singer Songwriter Sandy Wells is originally from a small town in Southern Oregon.  Her roots run deep in early pop Country and Southern Rock.   Music that raises a strong emotion yet keeps your foot tapping, she’s got something to say.
She released her first Album in March of 2012 with ten songs she wrote and arranged.    Sandy is currently playing and singing throughout Colorado and surrounding areas building a dedicated fan base of people who love her strong lyrics and powerful voice.
She continues to write new material and is looking forward to releasing a second Album sometime in 2014.
Her album “Here I Go” speaks to the truth of a woman’s fight to come back to who she is and find hope and strength in past choices and life events.
Sandy’s strong sense of self yet honest vulnerability is what her fans connect with.  Her voice is powerful and sultry.  She leaves it all on the stage when she plays and everything she feels come out in her music.
“People love music because it’s honest; Music doesn’t lie, it can’t, it comes from way too deep a place.  You can say whatever you want in a song because most of the time it’s the feeling of the music that people connect with.  If you have the courage to follow the music up with honest  lyrics you’ve just tapped into a soul! That doesn’t mean you have to over think and get technical it just means that you have to be open to what people want and need to feel.  Human Nature, Life, we all live it, we all feel it, good, bad, happy, sad!”   Sandy Wells

Am I really a flake?

sandywellsonline 09/04/2013 Home

So…… anyone who’s been in a band knows that artists by their very nature are a bit different.   Musicians being “Artist’s”  are no exception.

I believe that one of the biggest frustrations that bands (including me) have is the ability to find dedicated people.

The last several months have been a struggle, let’s face it the last year! We’re working hard to find a core group to hit the road with and though we have some very key musicians covered (thank you, you know who you are)  we are struggling to find others who really fit.

So I am at the moment of truth!  There are two common factor’s in the recent musician struggles.  One is Sandy Wells and the other is the instrument!

Dear God is it me?  Am I really a flake 🙂

For the record – No names mentioned except my own in this post 🙂
