Hello beautiful people! First of all I'd like to thank you all for the encouraging e-mails that you've sent me over the last few months! I'm so grateful to have you in my life, you are a true gift on my path of creativity! Your belief in me helps me believe in myself and if a day does not go so well I think of you and I still keep going no matter what! (Now enough of the sappy stuff...no but seriously: it means a lot!) I hope you had a wonderful summer! And had the chance to go to the beach at least once... and been creative! If you didn't notice I just uploaded 2 more songs! My trip to Spain inspired me to write 3 more because my friend who lives there is one of the most gifted poets I've ever met! The first one is about my trip back from Spain, second one is actually written in my mother language which I have not written anything in in a very long time! The last one I wrote for a friend who complained that he's never gotten a song from me, so I had to make up for it! As terrifyingly cold Chicago can become during the winter (no kidding, you have you wear a scarf over your face otherwise it freezes off!), as unbearably hot it gets in summer! So of course right by the end of July the A/C in my car died...:-( I drove around with my head hanging out the window and still felt like a boiled egg. But now it's fixed again, right in time for the season to change...:-) My friends in Madrid and Berlin inspired me to join the Green party, so now I'm a volunteer and instead of 4 people we're 5. Hey, something has to be done about this beautiful planet, right? I also decided to help a bunch of immigrants to learn English and get their green cards because when I heard about the camps I was quite shocked... So, by the end of the year, my new album should finally be finished! I hope you like the 2 new songs that I uploaded and don't have too much trouble with the transition into fall (I personally like the colored leaves!) Keep up the good spirit! Cheers, Chrissy:-)
