Sometimes when I find out about a new band or singer, I google them to see how old they are. If I find out that they are older than 30 and are just breaking out into the world, I feel very excited for them and It helps me not feel so old.
Sometimes its hard to not say yes to every musical opportunity that comes my way. I want to do everything but I have other priorities, that are much cuter...and much more important. and sadly, that makes me feel old.
Last night I felt a hint of a tug of war between my stay at home heart and my musical soul that wants to sing every chance it gets. I wanted to go play music at a local event, I had laundry to do, dinner to clean up, and I couldn't find a babysitter cuz Jon Butler had night class. I don't think I was acting sad but my three year old came and held my hand and asked me 'Why are you sad?' He could tell that I was thinking. and he reminded of this AMAZING SONG by Fictionist.
Max, I wasn't sad. You made me so so happy.
I have Tiny Hands that I get to hold. and they are what this life is about. I wouldn't know true happiness with out them.
A little more about Fictionist.
They need our help.
and since I know that You guys are super friendly and caring and giving of your time and internet energy,
I thought I would make this to also help them out! They need votes to get on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. and turns out they are having a contest too, isn't that just the *Cats Pajamas!
*[this is old person lingo for freakin sweet!]
[and to be completely honest, i didnt know about the contest till after I made this Vid. so hopefully Karma will kick in...]
If you love this song as much as me, go to here and download it for free. but be sure to Help Fictionist out by giving them a healthy-5-star rating.
* To feel extra young and chipper, you could join their street team for your town. I joined their St. George Street team and passed out a million flyers for their last show. I swear it added pep to my step and reduced grey hairs and wrinkles better than a Jack Lalanne power juicer!
The next round ends today so VOTE VOTE VOTE!!
with Thanks and LOVE,
Lyndy
Lou, you are my favorite super star already! And that's saying a lot because Carrie Underwood is my second fav, another down to earth, small town girl just like you. This video made me cry this morning because I had such a hard day yesterday and I woke up still feeling in a funk. I heart this video and you a lot. It totally brightened my day. Thanks for being my friend and letting me in on the joy that is Lyndy Butler. xoxoxo

I LOVE that I have tiny hands to hold...I thought life was pretty awesome before my babes, well I had no idea what true happiness and how now my life is perfect with them in it. But, also how we have extra dreams in our hearts too. I have always wanted to do what you are doing Lou... Sing. Write. Make hearts happy.
