I met Gaetana by chance, and I got under a spell. Of music and soul and of lessons on dreams and daily steps for achieving them…. She and the Little War Twins were giving a concert in the Hard Rock Café in Boston. After a while, she agreed to give me a short interview (thank you, Jon Yvon), and even if she was touring, she answered to the most important questions I had.
For Gaetana, dreams are her spirit’s voice.
In order to achieve them, she has taken big leaps “(like jumping in a van and touring the US with original music for 9 months), but there were many small steps before the big leap. First I got an instrument, learned how to play it, wrote music, played songs out live, worked in the music industry and toured on weekends. Then after learning those lessons, I took the big leap.”
And the piece of advice for everyone in search for fulfilling their dream: “Focus on what you can do today to get to your dreams.
If you want to paint, buy some brushes and paint at the dollar store. You don’t have to be Picasso to begin to live your dream. There is always a beginning to your dreams, and sometimes it’s messy, ugly and not what you expected. There is always more learning to be done. If you are passionate and motivated to go after it, keep going. Each day, take one small step or one big step, but focus on what you can do in the present moment. Shoot for the end goal, but have gratitude for the journey: I never know where my dreams will take me, but when I take the steps, my spirit sings.”
Good night, my friends!
