I sleep with beats to my ears. I stress, at times. But always smile. I believe in people, so dont take me for a ride. My gut instincts are strong, so dont even try to lie. I love to write, I love to create. I design in my spare time. Im always a thinker, and definitely a motivator. I think for tomorrow, and use yesterday as an experience to talk about or a lesson learnt.
Yet, as much as I can be a giver, if Im hurt by another, at times I can crawl somewhere and hide. I dont expect anything in return, so if love is shown, Ill treasure your efforts forever. I never forget a person who gives or shows me love in return.
I'm a little hesitant of relationships, because I know myself and I know how involved I get. Frankly these days, its really hard to trust on that level, and I know we shouldnt judge, but I do. And I do, because Im cautious and I have every right to. Im sure one day, things will turn and when they do, I'll be ready and I will know what I want, and there wont be that 'hmm' and 'oh maybe'situation, because I will know.
But until that happens, I will carry on in my life, seek the career I dream for and keep that smile on my face. Follow what my heart desires and continue to listen to music that inspires. Music that gives me drive, music that is my life.
So much to get too, so much to do, so many aspirations, what do I do? Make a plan, oh thats when my Virgo sensibility kicks in. So, I cant help it, thats the person I am. Optimist or maybe just a believer. I inspire to do so many things, and I know I cant plan my future.. so as I tackle each endeavour, I will continue to smile and one day, WE may met and I'll introduce myself and speak: "Hi, my name is Suzanne, but you can call me Suz, and your name is?"
Next show is around the corner...

US Trip - Thank You's
I went on my first trip to the states (Oct 2006 to Jan 2007) and I want to acknowledge the MOST AMAZING people I met on my trip. From the talent, the energy, the friendship, the live shows, the studios, the lifestyle and the hustle. I was so blessed to have crossed paths with so many people. It was an experience, I now crave to live. I wish all I met a prosperous year; I miss you all, and look forward to coming back.
