Somebody is worth funding....

mood: ecstatic
And that somebody is ME! WEEEEEEE I was awarded $10 000 today from Magic 99 up in Edmonton. I am talking to the guy up there and he says to me "we normally fund jazz and blues but you are just too talented not to fund".....CAN YOU BELIEVE IT????!!!!! Not only were those words so validating...so so validating, especially after my 2 times rejection from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, but $10 000! To officially finish...well, mostly finish...my full length album. After I hung up, I jumped up and down and squealed. Yes, I did. Like a girly girl. That is how excited I am! He said the talented thing a few times, and I will treasure those words even more than the funding.

To say I am happy is a gross underrepresentation of the ecstatic joy I feel right now.

Full length CD...here I come!

I posted it on your facebook fanpage but I'll share it here too :)

"Sora sings like she lives - with passion, with honesty, with love in her heart. Every note is imbued with her joy for life, every song reflects her soul like the shining surface of still water. When she sings, she brings rapture into our hearts, lifting our spirits into a higher place that is pure and bright and healing."
