Kelly Land:: Making of my first CD Diary. Letters from readers.

I think it is great that you are going with your “dream” I makes me still feel like I have time. I love to sing, I sing solos at church have since I was seven years old but never really did anything about it. I have an audition with a trio on Monday we will see how it goes. Well, I do want to commend you also on the newsletter it looks very professional and it is great. I hope that thru this all I will be able to find something that will make money to be able to help out our situation at this time ie:we have been paying 2 mortgages for over a year now and funds are gone..anything you might need help with or anything..Remember me!!!! I am glad you and B are going thru with it have fun..if it is not fun it wasn’t really worth it.

Answer: Thank you so much for taking the time to write. And we hope your audition went well!!
You are so right when you say if it's not fun--it's not worth it. If this was some pressure cooker,
BIG money, studio time production on the line---I would have already had a nervous breakdown!

Hello Kelly-I have to say I think its great that your being so ambitious to learn to play the guitar and record your own music. i have to also thank you for a job I found on your website two years ago that has allowed me to stay home with my kids all this time (and Im STILL earning a living at it). I myself have longed to learn to play the guitar but being too busy, and partly just no confidence is to blame....so I commend you! Good luck with your songs and I cant wait to hear them.

Answer: Ambitious! I like that word much better than "crazy"! I don't feel ambitious--but
I'm glad that it looks that way. I do LOVE this process---and what music has brought
to my life. Even as a small child--I totally got lost in a song. The words--the feelings it
provoked.......it's very powerful in my world.
Congrats on the JOB TOO!!! Wow--that is totally awesome! Thanks for being a faithful
subscriber!

Dear Kelly,

Wow, I never realized that the person behind the wonderful web site Money Making Mommy is also so beautiful! You go girl! Make this dream come true as no one else but you can do. You are lucky to have a husband who is supportive and a friend who will rig ladders that will become mic stands.

Really enjoyed reading about your adventures, as well as seeing the pictures. I’m sure that all of us readers will be most supportive of you and B and you endeavor to make this CD. Good luck and carry on….. v

Answer: Oh my goodness!! Beautiful!!?? Wow----I have no where to put that--but thank you!
I do feel like I'm going for this for many reasons and for many people. It could be a really
scary and empty process--but I feel so much support from people like you---and as you
mentioned--I am VERY lucky to have the support of my husband--and B.

I hope all goes well for you... and post every little detail! Good luck :-)

Answer: Every bit of luck helps!! So thank you!! I'll try to tell you all the gory
details except for things like--on Tuesday I kept thinking a booger was hanging out
of my nose while I was recording--and I asked B several times---"Is there
something on my nose??"

You did a really great job with the new look. Good luck on your new singing venture!

Answer: Thank you. I really like the new look too. And thank you for the luck wishes!

Answer: I have to admit--I thought for sure you guys would give me heck about this weblog.
I braced myself for email lashing that I thought insued. But I tell you what--EVERY email that
came in was NICE, supportive and upbeat. You guys are an amazing group of people. I am honored
that you let me into your computer!!!

HI Kelly! I think what you are doing is fabulous! I love reading about a
real person behind the wonderful ezine! How in the world do you find the
time? I really enjoy your ezine the most of all the home job sites i visit
and feel like you are just like the rest of us "home mommies". I am an 80's
fanatic, being that I grew up in that era (1984 H.S. graduate) , so I look
sooo forward to hearing your cool tunes! Take care! Lara

Answer: Lara!! I graduated in 1984 too!! Wow--does it seem like that long ago??
I was styling in my Miami Vice-like jacket and wearing more bangles on my wrists
than I could manage!! I wanted that "Holiday" Madonna video look!! I will have
to find an old photo of my "Madonna" phase. My Mom still jokes about it. I actually
OWN Don Johnson's album--shhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone!!!
Thanks for the sweet note!

Oh ..and even my closest friends had to get in on the "comment action.
This is from my good friends Holly and Mike. As you can read--they are quite
the comedians!! NOT!
