AND I WANTED TO START FRESH WITH THIS and get past the existing falderal. (Sorry for the flame.) I don't think Stevie was only referencing the music business with her comments. Anyway, this sums it all up much better than I ever could.

Someone posted that awhile back on another thread (not the same topic) and I loved it. It sums a lot up.

And as far as Stevie's "we have to float in like Goddesses" comment goes, I took it to mean the equivelant of when men use the phrase, "walk in like a God" which is used when dealing with potential competition or just when extra confidence is needed.
I don't know Stevie personally, but I really think that's more along the lines of what she meant. Don't be a wallflower. Be strong, but in a feminine way. That's all.

Personally, I could actually use some of that advice myself, as when I need to be strong I tend to be too masculine, which people sometimes perceive as gruff.
