I
cannot believe we are once again about to jolt right out of the summer season
into the fall in just a few weeks but while we still have summer season days to
muddle through, I want to thank you, more than ever, for when we had the
opportunity to cross paths and for sharing some of the most memorable moments
of summer with me. You give me the confidence to stand bravely in faith and to
leave the worries that often rip through me behind with joyous abandon.
But
I am not simply writing to feed you with empty words. Today, I feel like an
archivist, looking back at all the times you were there and giving me your
wonderful support and I wanted to acknowledge you for it. I am still manacled
to the smiles and great memories that you shared with me, on each and every
occasion. You keep me drumming ahead and though sometimes I get distracted by
the possibilities of the promising potentials for the future that lies ahead, I
wanted to take the time out to say thank you for being the beautiful people in
my life.
Without
you, this road on which I travel would be extremely frustrating and unbearably
lonely. There is no way I could have ever accomplished growing into the person I
am becoming without you.
And
so, with the hope of things to come, I look forward to hearing from and seeing
more of you in the upcoming months and I wanted to share with you my bounty of
fruit:
Upcoming Performances:

Great news:
I
am excited to announce that I will be releasing a forthcoming album in the next
few weeks. The title of my project is Finally JNote which will feature on it,
seven original works and I can’t wait to let you all hear some of the music.
I
am also excited to announce that I will be doing my first tour this year
overseas in Russia during the month of October. Please keep me in prayer as
this is the first time for me doing anything as different as this but I am ready.
One more thing!
I
am part of the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition and I have
entered in four different jazz renditions of songs that Sarah Vaughan has sung
at one point in her beautiful life. Here is one of them: My rendition of “Body
& Soul.” If you would please take the time to vote for my submission, it
would be greatly appreciated: https://www.indabamusic.com/opportunities/5th-annual-sarah-vaughan-international-jazz-vocal-competition/submissions/13ee03ae-2c79-11e6-9e8a-0ecda187fe01
And
as the warm summer days begin to disappear into the fall season that is about
to embrace us, I am thrilled beyond relief that many of the summer days was
shared with you. Thank you for the good dose of inspiration that you
successfully instill in me. Your presence is appreciated in such great
abundance and hopefully sometime in the near future, our heartbeats will touch
once again.
Until
then, have a fantastic week, end of summer and may your days ahead be filled
with sizzles of joy.
God
bless you,
Stephanie
Jeannot
