My Gawd, where has the Summer gone?

It seems like only yesterday that my life merged with Jane Reece's! There was an immediate connection. You know, especially girls know, that friendships and relationships of all kinds develop very quickly. Guys can dig other guys pretty quickly, but they don't go to the potty together when out at a bar or don't have sleep overs or go on trips together right away. And they typically don't cry on each others shoulders after knowing each other for five minutes and telling their own life stories in their entirety. That takes some time for dudes. But we gals, oh, we're instant friends, aren't we?

There is a line in a Rodney Crowell song that I intend to record. "The funny feeling comes when you're in love with everyone"....I am that girl. Jane is that girl. I just love people so much and we meet all kinds of them everywhere. I'm almost finished reading "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young, which is found in the Christian section of bookstores. Now, I don't subscribe to religion, but this book is fantastic! It paints the most loving picture of the all-time most thought about story of the Trinity...of the whole, loving Jesus that I believe has been twisted around some through many years of organized religion, political abuse, and the human struggle for power.

But that's not my point in mentioning the book. I mention it because I relate to a very strong topic in the book: Relationships are built on LOVE not power, not judgment. You can love a stranger just as much as you can love your lover or your father or your best friend. It might be a different kind of love, but love has a vast definition. It comes in many forms, my friends. Jane and I go out in the world and love each of the people we encounter. I love every one of my fans who come enjoy my music. I love everyone, except for maybe George W. Bush, but hey, I'm only human. Eeeehhhhemmmm.....Sorry for that.

Anyway, I hope you have love in your lives. I hope you find yourself full of compassion for others and I hope you find a way to limit your judgment. We humans are a beautiful mess and will always struggle. But at least we can try.

Enjoy the Jane and Ginger videos...full of silly life stuff, love, strangers, friends, travel, and simple life blunders.

Wishing you an endless well of love,
Ginger Leigh
