Hey Friends!
I just flew home from Tampa, FL this morning. I’m running on little sleep so it’s about nap time, but I wanted to update everyone on my trip. Last night, I was able to perform on Southeastern University’s R.A.W tv in Lakeland, FL. It was a blast! It’s basically a student run studio, with the help of some staff. This is the first tv taping I’ve done with a live audience, so that definitely added a cool element to the show. I can’t wait to go back to Southeastern and perform for their campus! It’s a really cool school with awesome students!
I just got home and will be heading back to Florida, with my hubby this time, to spend Thanksgiving with my family. I’m SO excited! Then when we get back, it’ll be about time for the Bethlehem Skyline Christmas Tour! Man, This year is flying by! I hope you guys can make it out to one of our Christmas tour dates! Check it out and let me know so I can look for ya!!!
Have an awesome week and than you so much for your prayers and support!!!
Blessings,

Hey Friends!
Well, it has been a whirlwind week of traveling, shows, friends, and family! I had a show in Ooltewah, TN on Friday night and it was SO much fun! I met a ton of sweet people and I had my first standing ovation! YAY!!! My husband was able to come and I surprised him by calling him up on stage and singing “Lets Grow Old Together” to him while he sat on a stool beside me. It was AMAZING!!! I got my first standing ovation after the show and my first song request from the audience! It was really fun and I’m s glad I was able to spend the evening with all the people there.
My husband and I had to drive back to Nashville that night so I could catch an early flight home to FLORIDA!!! YAY! I’ve gotten to hang out with my family and friends and my mom’s Chihuahua. (her name is penny and she wears a “Where’s Waldo” sweater!) 
I just played at Calvary Chapel Vero Beach last night and it was awesome! So many of my dearest friends came to support me. When I was in high school, I would travel with my family to that church to lead worship. The pastor of the church also married Josh and I, so needless to say that church and the people in it are very special to me! It was great to be apart of their services Sunday morning and great to have a concert there.
I’m heading over to Tampa on Wednesday to play a show, so stay posted! I’ll let ya’ll know how it goes!
PS. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather, so please keep my health in your prayers. Thanks so much, friends!
Blessings,

During the honest moments, I have been blessed to share and listen to women and teen girls. I have found story after story that reflects similar heartache and experience as my own. So many women and young girls deal with similar issues of insecurity matched with the fear of appearing weak. Sadly, most girls willingly believe the lies that cause their self-doubt. Women desperately need to be reminded of their worth!

Hey Friends!
I hope you all had an amazing week! I can’t believe it’s already Friday! I had the pleasure of being apart of the Back to School Tour last weekend, featuring Chris Sligh, Aaron Shust, and Andrew Witt. It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed getting to know all of the guys. Oh and btw, we are traveling in two 15-passenger vans with ALL guys! So, excluding the cramped space and the smell of hotdogs and sweat permeating the seat cushions, I really enjoyed when the guys began sharing their love stories about how they met their wives. As a girl, I eat that kind of stuff up, ya know what I’m sayin’??!! J It was neat to see the heart behind the music and musicians.
This tour has been especially fun, because I have an awesome band backing me up. Up until now, with the exception of a few one off dates, I’ve traveled alone and have accompanied myself with my guitar and pink capo! As you can imagine, I’m having so much fun getting to play with a band. It adds so much energy!
If you guys are near any of the dates, please come out. It would be awesome to get to meet you!
It was my birthday this week and my amazing husband took me to a real nice dinner and hotel to celebrate. We had SO much fun! He’s the BEST husband in the WHOLE world!!! He even did a chocolate/mud mask with me! I think his motivation was the fact that it had the word chocolate in it, however, he was sorely disappointed when there was thick, brown, slimy paste smeared all over his face, and he was told he couldn’t eat it. It wasn’t ACTUALLY chocolate! It was all down hill from there. Between his sealed lipped whimpers, squinty eyes revealing the slightest hint of regret, and his inverted smile (aka: the CUTEST “I’m only doing this because I love you” smile/frown), he barely missed the part that said he had to keep the mud caked on his face for 15 WHOLE minutes! There were several half skeptical inquires of what the mud was supposed to do! “It’s a deep pore cleanse, honey!” J Just another “Team Schlessman” feat, in the name of love! You know your man’s a keeper when he endures girlish primp sessions! I love him!
Anyway, I hope you guys have an awesome weekend! I will be heading back on tour with Chris and Aaron in a few weeks, so I’ll be keeping you updated!

Hey Friends!
I hope all of you are doing awesome!
I had a show in Florrisant, MO this weekend. My friend G.W. from WIBI put the show together and I was able to play at his family’s home church. There were a lot of really sweet people there and, of course, G.W.’s awesome wife, Carrie and their four amazing kids! The kids spent time serenading me before the show with sweet little songs they had written. One of them asked for my song writing advice… SO CUTE!
Several of us went to eat after the show together, and that was a blast! One of my favorite parts of getting to travel is getting to meet cool new people and getting to spend time with them! So we did just that over several glasses of raspberry, kiwi, and mango lemonade. J
There are some cool things coming up on my schedule! I get to play a show at the Lifelight Festival in South Dakota this weekend! I’m super excited about it! The following weekend I head out on the road with the Aaron shust/ Chris Sligh Tour. I hope you guys can make it out to at least one of the dates. Check my website (lanaehale.com) for where we’ll be. We might just be coming to your town! I’d love to get to meet you guys! J
