The end and the beginning

I can’t believe it’s over.
The whole tour, the whole year, my whole life for the past 
18 months…

And now I’m here on a plane headed back home with 
memories of every city, every country, every face, 
every moment, every chill we gave to each other, every 
piece of anticipation, nervous energy, choice, every 
“job well done,” job could’ve been done better, joy, 
satisfaction, fulfillment, eagerness, comfort, confidence 
and vulnerability. It’s all here, all wound up into one long
 incredible experience that I’ve learned from.
Each place has a memory: The Barclay Center in 
Brooklyn; I swore the whole roof was going to explode. London, the energy was so genuine 
I literally have a family 40,000 strong at least there. South America, I’ll just mention the 
whole trip feeling like a love song with the people. I’d stop and talk to everyone I could. 
Some of the most beautiful people (inside & out ) I’ve ever met. Manila, was emotional, 
with a true feeling of connection after visiting some of the evacuees from the hurricane and 
inviting hundreds of people and volunteers to spread love with me. To Perth, Melbourne, 
Sydney and every other city we touched in Australia… yooooooooo, I can still feel it. So truthful. 
So genuine. Thank u for waiting for me! And my last stop New Zealand, with this amazing light,
 spiritual energy. Totally incredible!!! And that’s just naming a few!

Thank u to every place we touched. (I could name each city for its own reason) For showing me,
 reminding me and sharing with me just how much we have in common and how far we go 
together, everywhere, nothing between us, not even space and time.
In Sydney, this beautiful young woman came up to me. She very simply said your music saved 
my life. Her eyes welled up and her voice started to shake but she didn’t cry. She was so strong 
and so vulnerable all at the same time.  I could only imagine the pain she went through… 
but she made it. And however I was a part of that journey with her— gives me such purpose 
and humility. Thank u for sharing with me my beautiful friend!

I realize, that is what the Girl on Fire album was all about; letting go.
Letting go of old things that that don’t serve me anymore. Attitudes, thoughts, perceptions,
 perspectives, negative energy and people and getting closer to who I am NOW!
What I didn’t realize, was how that could be happening for all of us…
But because of that, I’ve had the most successful tour I’ve ever had. On every level! 
And I’ve been surrounded by incredible people that are all on fire! 
Releasing what’s done and getting closer to their truth…

So the end is really the beginning. And I’m ready more then ever to begin again!
I can’t wait to experience what’s next! And you’ll be there with me!
Blessings and love forever and ever and ever and ever and a day!

Love, AK
