perri pickles + imperfections

hi im christina perri. i sing and write songs. i smile often and love my family. i blush easily and i uncontrollably raise the roof when i'm happy. welcome to my blog.

what are you dreaming of?

hi dear friends,

most of you know my story by now… the magical one about the lists to the universe, and every single thing i’ve ever dreamed of so far in my life coming true!! you know, that little story?! gaaaah! it still doesn’t seem real, most days. especially recently. i am sitting on the beach in hawaii with my dad basking in the reality of this moment… what? 2 years ago i was a waitress off for the holidays sitting in my parents home wondering where i went wrong and who i was supposed to be… i had no money, no man, and no plan… but something told me i was going to be ok… call it faith? call it stupidity? call it luck? call it dreaming?… whatever you want to call it, i b e l i e v e d i was going to be ok… whatever that meant or looked like.

on new years eve 2009 me + my best friend keltie made a list to the universe and i asked for 6 things:
1. quit smoking
2. book 3 shows
3. start a savings account with 25 bucks a week
4. meet jason mraz
5. sign a record deal
6. bask in keltie’s magic motivational sun beams.

they all came true.

all of a sudden i realized something was happening… something bigger than me. something epic. so i kept dreaming… and dreaming… and doing… and manifesting… and affirming… and dreaming… and believing… and trusting… and learning… and dreaming… and falling…. and trying… and working… and living… and loving and loving and loving…. and dreaming…. and dreaming… and dreaming… and it was the best year ever. including all the ups + downs + tears + laughs… all of it was perfect.

so new years eve 2010 came around and i made another list:
1. quit eating gluten.
2. meditate for 5-10 minutes once a day. (no matter what)
3. send my mother love every day. (phone, text, email, cards)
4. laser hair removal.
5. completely fix my ankle.
6. BE ON THE BREAKING DAWN SOUNDTRACK! (yes, this was in all caps)
7. begin a charity.
8. have a hit record.
9. buy an asset.
10. learn the drums.
11. send keltie motivational moon beams.
12. send love + light to every human being i meet.

all these things came true too.

i don’t know what this all means, friends, i don’t know if i’ve tapped into a magic universe loop hole and what i keep dreaming just comes true no matter what… or if just believing in myself makes them come true, or if im just working my ass off to make it happen, or if im just blessed. i think it’s all of the above.

so, if you believe in this stuff or not, its my truth + i am sharing it with you to hopefully inspire you to want more for yourself, your life and your dreams.

anything and everything is possible… i promise.
i just made my list for 2012 … did you?

love, light + endless gratitude,
cp
