Hi there... it sure has been a while...

I know, I know... it's been a very long while since I actually posted on my blog... 

Life has been busy, what with raising a very active 3-year-old girl (who has one hell of an active imagination), being a housewife taking care of a home and husband (which can and does include late night allergy interventions), working, traveling, and making sure I have some time for myself.  Well, it turns out that tonight, everything is quiet and settled, which give me blog time.

Now, what shall I blog about that I wouldn't already talk about in Backstory?

First... lots of work related stuff going on that I can't quite talk about yet... until the dotted lines are signed, I have to keep them to myself... but yes, it's all exciting!

Second... there are a few modifications I'll need to make to my house.  No, nothing of the aesthetic sort... the thing is, the water quality where I live has caused a few health-related issues with my family, so upon the recommendation of our neighbors across the street, I called someone that can hopefully help us fix the problem.  I'll let you all know how that turns out.  If all goes well, we'll all reap the benefits.  Man, the skin issues my daughter had was driving us all crazy!  Was it something she ate?  Was it the laundry soap?  Nope, our pediatrician said that a lot of the kids in the area were suffering from the same thing caused by the water supply.  Don't even ask me what it's called, I can't even pronounce it much less remember it.

Third, I've been racking up some serious frequent flyer miles, mostly for work.  I'm not complaining!  It's actually been a lot of fun visiting all these new cities that I've never been to, or have visited by never performed in.  I've gotten to see friends that I haven't seen in a long time, which is always a great perk.  And yes, I get to drive my car!!!

Yes, life has been sweet, and I feel incredibly blessed.  So far, 2009 has been a very good year.  It's half over, and going by quickly... I'm hoping that the rest of the year goes smoothly, too.

Even though I check your Multiply site every day, this somehow got past me for 10 days! I pray that the water problem will be corrected very soon, and that your daughter's skin issues will disappear at the same time.
Safe flying & driving! I look forward to two of your October concerts! :-)

Hello, Lea! I've been a fan for a long time, but haven't heard your performances for a while :( I had come across the Les Miz 10th Anniversary DVD, and saw you in it! Totally had me on a Lea album binge. Hahaha. Really looking forward to see your show in Tarrytown. Maybe you'll have a show closer to NYC soon? Take care and hope your daughter gets better very soon!

Lea - thank you for your AMAZING performance at the Horseshoe in Hammond (Sept 26). It was such a thrill and an honor to be able to see and hear you perform live - and to be SO CLOSE to the stage! I never thought I'd get the chance - but my DREAM came true!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I'm on "Cloud 9." And it took me 44 years, but I DID find my "other shoe" - God! May you always know His peace, joy and love! Blessings to you and all your family! Fr. Rick

Great job buddy! I think you should also share information pertaining to the inner industry details. That would make your article more informative.
