Today happens to be my birthday and I am having a really relaxing and enjoyable day. Earlier this week Charlie and I spoke about what we would like to have happen in this last week running up to the release of To Call My Own. We agreed it would be a solid sign that the song was doing well if we were on the Billboard chart before release date. When we spoke about how we should go about making this happen, we decided we would simply ask the universe to take care of it.

Asking the universe to take care of something on your behalf is a bit strange if you are not used to it. I found myself getting nervous and a bit scared yesterday about the future success of this single but then I realized that I was not trusting or putting faith into my desires. I did the work of focusing on how proud I would be when I could tell my Mother that we were on the chart and shifted my emotions about this.

It is ironic - as an artist I have no problems writing what I know to be the absolute truth about life - but to put it into practice for myself in my personal life is quite another task. The artist within me is my greatest teacher: I am so enjoying learning all of the secrets it holds in store for me. I cannot tell you how often I listen to our song Tonight and wonder at its wisdom that I still strive to feel I live 100% of the time.

This morning, my birthday, we received notification that the we are officially on the Billboard Hot Dance / Club Play chart that came out today, entering the chart at number 48. This is the first time we have ever been on the chart before a recording is released and marks significant milestones for both our growth as professional recording artists and our increasing ability to trust in the universe and all its possibilities.
