Let It Ride Tour

This past Thursday I had the pleasure of seeing Thomas Rhett and Brantley Gilbert on the Let It Ride tour in Stockton, Ca. I had an amazing time. This was one concert that I did not want to miss and being the brave girl that I am I decided to go alone rather than forgo the concert. Let me tell you, it was so worth it. This was my first time at Stockton Arena. It was large and accommodating, especially considering the amount of people that were there. I was lucky enough to be in row 2, I have some amazing pictures and videos to show for it. This seat was a few steps up from my seats at the Florida Georgia Line concert. I have the Brantley Gilbert fan club presale to thank for that.
The show started off with Eric Pasley. He is a newer country artist and he is a song writer like Thomas Rhett and Brantley Gilbert. He is best know for his song Friday Night. He is a talented performer and I enjoyed his set very much. I was surprised that people were not more enthusiastic about his performance. I don't think it'll be too long before we see him on his own headlining tour.
Next up was Thomas Rhett. As you all probably know I am very fond of this man. He is an amazing performer and song writer. The way he is on stage seems like an example of the person he would be in person. He is goofy and fun and pretty damn adorable. I love his songs and he brings them to life with his performance. He had me dancing and singing along the whole time. I highly recommend seeing him live. It is such a fun experience.
Last and definitely not least Mr. Brantley Gilbert. He sounds just as incredible live as he does on the radio. His performances bring his songs to life. It is just as you would imagine it. He has that rough melodious voice that is so sexy. He is the quintessential bad boy but you know underneath beats a heart of pure gold. Both him and his music are so seductive and yet down to earth. His lyrics bring up images of love, danger, fun and adventure. What's not to love?
However my night was not yet done. After the show I got to meet Brantley Gilbert. If you bought a flag at the show then you got the opportunity to meet Brantley. I could not pass this offer up, I mean come on you're only young once. It was so worth it. Brantley was wonderful. He shook my hand and asked me how I enjoyed the show. I told him that it was so worth coming by myself. He told me to be careful with all those crazies out there, which was very sweet. I also got to take a picture with him and he autographed my flag. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Gabrielle Bernstein

This past weekend I had the fortune of hearing Gabrielle Bernstein speak at Golden Bridge Yoga in Los Angeles. Gabrielle is an amazing woman and an inspiring author. I have read her books May Cause Miracles and Add More Ing to Your Life. Her appearance at Golden Bridge Yoga was part of the book launch for her newest book Miracles Now. 



After arriving at Golden Bridge Yoga I ran into my friend Erik, who is a big Gabrielle Bernstein fan just like me. We got to catch up for a bit before going into the yoga studio. There were a lot people there Saturday evening, around 300 people were expected. Despite being in such close proximity with people, it was a lot of fun. We started off with an introduction from Mastin Kipp from the Daily Love. He is a vibrant speaker, so full of energy and knowledge. He was the perfect person to get everyone ready for Gabrielle. 
When Gabrielle walked in the room lit up. She is so luminous that you can't help but feel uplifted by her energy. When she talks you can't help but be drawn in, this is a woman that really walks her talk. Gabrielle regaled us with stories of how the lessons in this book are reflected in her life. Synchronicities pop up everywhere and you are always guided to the message that you need at that moment. Then she led us through some kundalini yoga exercises. This was my first experience with kundalini yoga and I loved it. This is something that I feel can add positivity to my life as well as the lives of others. The exercise are not strenuous but they leave you feeling great afterwards. As Gabrielle said these exercises make you feel high. After that there was a question and answer session. There were many good questions and I think every person there got something out of the answers that Gabrielle gave out. 
The best part was afterwards when we all got to have our copies of Miracles Now signed by Gabrielle. There was a line but it went by pretty quickly. Gabrielle is such an amazing and to get to enjoy a few minutes with her was worth the trip. I am so happy that I was able to have this experience. It's one things to read her books, it's another to get to meet her and enjoy her amazing presence in person.
