Hello, my name is Lourdes Valentin and for about the past seven years I have been working as a professional jazz singer and songwriter.
I experienced the most beautiful moments in my life during my career. I will never forget the heightened moments of creativity and to top off the experiences, were the hugs, the tears, the excitement, and the community of all my fans who eventually became friends.
I had highs, I had lows… nonetheless it was what my heart was yearning for all those years.
However in October 2019 I felt a strong desire to expand. I also had a gut feeling that I needed to add another source of income to my life.
So, I started to search.
I had no idea where to begin, but I knew that I needed something to fulfill me, give me a sense of purpose and make my heart beat every morning!
I applied for many jobs that I thought could be a good fit, but none of them worked out.
Around December 2019, a good friend from Norway suggested that I apply to be a flight attendant.
At first the idea didn’t make any sense and my heart rejected the idea. My friend persisted, even insisted, and sent me many links to apply.
One night I prayed. I asked God if it was something I should pursue. Just a few days later I had more clarity. I saw myself traveling all around the world and the vision ignited a fire in me. I also had a heart to heart talk with my fiancé, who is my wonderful husband today. His response was very supportive. His literal words were, “If it makes you happy, it will make me happy.” He said “Go for it!”.
So to make this long story short, I became a flight attendant. I was released to fly on April 5, 2020.
Throughout training I doubted the process many times, for the training was a rigorous one. This training involves safety, medical, psychological, customer service and many other aspects of aviation. It was tough!
Then boom, the pandemic hit us! Thank Little did I know that this disaster was going to change my life. Did it change yours? Two weeks into my training, when the pandemic was getting worse, I got calls from my music clientele informing me that they had to cancel all my performances for the rest of the year…
That is when I knew I had made a very wise move. My music income was completely gone! It was scary but also exciting. I was left with a new career, a new life and a new possibility. Never, never, never disregard the prompts from your heart. They are real and they can change your life. Here I am… the artist who once was nicknamed “Heaven’s Girl” has embodied the true meaning of the name.
I am writing to you from up in the sky! I am flying from San Salvador to Fort Lauderdale. I had no clue that this new job was going to provide me the opportunity to do one of the things I love the most, which is writing. Opening my notebooks and expressing myself through the pen is totally one of my happy places. Flying inspires my creativity. This blissful state of gratefulness, allows me to see glimpses of the purpose this season will bring. We all have a purpose in life. What is your purpose?
Flying Over The Grand Canyon
You my be wondering, “What about your Music?”. My music will never stop, it will continue to develop in other ways. Music is part of who I am.
We all possess many skills and gifts. We can wear various hats during different seasons of our lives.
I will continue to do live performances when good opportunities arrive. We have performed some beautiful concerts this year. However I strongly feel that recording, composing and creating music videos have the capacity to reach more people. There is a season for everything in life, wouldn’t you agree?
Many friends in the music world called me Heaven’s Girl, and this girl has literally been given wings to fly all over the world.
I wish and pray that as I fill these pages with inspiring stories, beautiful music and traveling adventures, they will motivate you to see all the possibilities that life can bring. I hope that you will open your heart and get ready to come to a Journey into a Beautiful World!
With Love, Music and Beauty that comes from Within,
Lourdes Valentin, Heaven’s Girl
