As much fun as John and I have in the Studio, I miss Sammy. We are down to our last couple of weeks of recording, so we're going to have to be very clever with our moments together. It's really coming down to an hour or two here and there. And then it's either I go into the studio or Sammy does, but one of us has to watch the whippersnapper. Oh my goodness Rocky wants to talk so bad he just babbles like he's saying real words. It's pretty funny.
Today John and I worked on lyrics to our new song. It's a romantic song, but very clever and sweet the way it describes a relationship between a man and a woman. I certainly never thought I would be singing about this, but it's a beautiful thing when two people are in love and find each other in this big huge world, think about it, it's pretty amazing!
John heard back from Yung Rizzo and he said he would be happy to come in and vibe on one of our songs. I can't wait to hear it. He is an amazing Rapper and I have the utmost respect for him and his talent.
Anyways I'm pretty tired today, so I think I'm gonna lay my head to rest, and get a fresh start tomorrow to practice my song "All About Love". As always we are keeping it real, trying to keep you informed of what it has taken to get us to this point. Not easy, but the rewards will be great!
As always, <3 Lizzi

Day 28 in the Studio
Today John & I completed the lyrics to our seventh song "All about Love" I absolutely love the melody and the message! It speaks about love, love will bring joy, joy will bring peace from above, with a sweet song in your soul, sound familiar, yes I am talking about the Fruits of the Spirit, and the greatest of these is LOVE! My friend Darsie mentioned how much of the recording is about love. And I was thinking, well the music is a reflection of me and love is the greatest thing in my life. It's because of God's love that I am the person that I am and also who I am becoming, I don't think we should ever stop growing. I want /need more wisdom, sensitivity, love, for others in my life. And I always pray that I will not form barriers based on what I have experienced in my life. I know people hurt, disappoint, use, and abuse, but that's okay I'm not made of paper, I won't crumple and dissolve. God has given me strength and resilience to survive even the toughest situations, so I know if I can bounce back then so can you. If we believe in ourselves we can make things happen and move and flow in the direction that we need to go.
Then we have those constant friends in our lives, that bless us each and every day. I love it when I run into old an friend and we are able to pick up exactly where we left off because we are bound by memories. I am blessed to have friends like that in my life that knew me when, then, and now. I'd like to think that I am much the same, just a better version of myself. If that sounds arrogant that's ok it took me a long time to be okay with who I am. I try to embrace the good, and toss away the bad, what else can we do if we want to be happy, but to love and allow others to love us in the purest sense.
Anyways, John & I didn't stop with just the one song. We still had some time so we moved onto song number eight, which again is about love, but in a more intimate way. It talks about a relationship between husband and wife. And the stealing of moments, which are often precious and memorable. I remember in our early years of marriage Sam & I attended young married couples classes, and we hung out with other couples. The ones our age were more to socialize with, and the older ones were to mentor and set an example of what it takes to have a strong marriage. We learned a lot during that time, and I think it really gave us a firm foundation for our relationship. So I think it's great that we can still appreciate one another's company.
So tomorrow I think we will work on the completion of lyrics for song number eight. And once that is done, I think I will be ready to sing All about Love.

Sammy has been staying home watching Rocky the last couple of days so that I can come in to the studio and work so the project does not lose momentum - what a trooper! Can't wait till we can all be together again....
