Hi, everyone! With all of the site updates, I haven't been very good at keeping up the journal communications, but what's new, right?
I just had to take a minute to say hello and wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! As the holiday season arrives in a flurry, I've been trying to reflect on all of the blessings given to me. While life can be difficult at times, it's so important to remember all of the wonderful things we take for granted each day. And speaking of thanks, I want to send a shout out to Rebecca and thank her for all of her help with updating the look of the website!
Right now, I'm sitting here, enjoying Andrea Bocelli's new Christmas album My Christmas. And let me just say that it has definitely exceeded my expectations. I expected great, but it is better than great. David Foster has outdone himself, yet again, with producing and arranging this amazing album and using Andrea Bocelli's talent to the fullest - he has the special knack of getting that out of people. You think a certain artist is great already, and then he just accentuates it even more! How inspiring, to hear and feel beautiful music like this... Just what I needed...
Okay, so back to my journal entry. I wish I had some great jokes like Josh Groban manages to post all of the time on his blog - you're making it difficult for all of us other journal-ers (not a word, I know...) to look good, you know that don't you, Josh? Seriously, it's a great blog, if you haven't checked it out.
Let's see... Some new photos have been posted in the gallery, finally! I got to meet Robin Swoboda (host of Fox8 TV's "That's Life" weekdays at 10am), and that photo's been posted in the gallery as well. We're looking forward to performing some Holiday songs at Laurello Vineyards for sure in December and maybe a few tomorrow night, if we feel in the mood! It's such a great time of year; we hope to see you very soon!
Keep spreading the word of TaraHawley.com, high and low! Oh, and don't forget to request my songs on 91.5FM. (See the news page for station number info!) Again, thank you for all of your support - each kind word, guestbook entry, call to a station - it means so much more than you could ever know...
