Has it really almost been 8 months since you have heard from me? Well, my life has certainly been a whirlwind, with a new 9-5, renovating my house, and… another baby on the way. Can you say my life has been extremely busy? I am so ready to get back to my music and living my passion. I actually got back into the studio with a new vocal producer during the time you didn’t hear from me, but he is 30 miles from me so it’s been way to difficult to make it out to his studio.
But, I have ben writing new songs, lots of lyrics, and I am so ready to sing, sing, sing. I have also been brushing up on the keyboards. I’ve gotta say that I’m not yet ready to play in front of crowds but working on it, so that I don’t have to search for someone to accompany for me when you want me to sing for you.
You are going to start seeing some new things (at least that’s what I’m anticipating), with this website, my newsletter, and I vow to be more active on facebook, as my APS (“accountability partner sista”) keeps inspiring me to do so, so that I can really keep in better touch with my friends and fans.
So, I’m going to call this a new beginning. I’m scheduled to be welcoming my new little bundle of joy at the beginnign of March, all the while enjoying my current bundle of joy, my little rambunctious, 2 year old daughter, who just amazes me everyday. She’s got quite the personality, and she is a non-stop ball of energy. She is already trying bang out tunes on the keyboard and singing her own songs as she does, lol. Man, I hope she can sing when she gets older, but I know she is going to be able to play an instrument. Music is in her blood. I guess that’s it for now.
No, no,…wait, I have to comment on Lady Gaga’s meat dress. I guess that answers the question “Where’s the beef?” I know that was corny, lol!!!!

I’ve got a 100 million thought spinning around in my head this evening as I sit here writing. I woke up early this morning to sweet voice of my babygirl syaing, ‘Up, up”. She slept well in her crib that is situated in our bedroom. When she caught a glimpse of my eyes trying to sneak a peak at me, she whispered “hi”. I just smiled from her just cute deliciousness, got her out of the crib and then put her in the bed with us. Mistake! She never fell back to sleep. Needless to say, I was operating on fumes today without getting enough sleep. I wont be doing that again tonight.
I had a great lunch today with a good friend of mine who also has a baby. It’s so good talking to her because sometimes i feel we are living parallel lives in some respect. We can relate and then she has other perspectives than me. She is more conservative and I think I take a little more risks. I think I am a little more creative, but she is highly cerebral and the voice of reason. Conversations with her help you balance things out and she knows where all the great restaurants are downtown.
Well, I had a wonderful walk today with my accountability partner sista, my “aps”. It was mostly me texting her while I took the 2 and half mile walk around the reserviore in Silver Lake, while she drove to meet me from her editing bay in Venice beach (she is an amazing documentory movie editor). We were suppose to walk together, but when I finished the walk she had just arrived and I needed to get back to pick up Lalah from my Moms. So, we sat in the grass and had our empowerment session. We keep eachother in check, making sure we stay on track in living our authentic lives. We make sure that we inform eachother when we recognize that we are allowing fear to hinder our dreams, so that we can conquer that obstacle that we have created in our minds and get over it. We acknowledge eacthothers accomplishments.
Its really strange how we met. We were standing in line at thevalet, waiting for our cars after we both had already attended a day long internetmarketing seminar with another incrediby empowering woman name Vanessa Summers. I introduced myself and asked how she liked the seminar and what type of business she was involved in, etc. She was just open and friendly. We talked about my mastermind group and accountability partners and what a great idea that would be. We exchanged information, and then about 3 weeks later got started as eachothers APS’s. It has been awesome ever since. We are flexible with eachother if certain things are not accomplished or are altered a bit after we get more clarity in our lives direction. It’s great!
Tonight, the baby went to sleep already…She tried to play my guitar tonight while I sang. She can strum pretty well with her tiny fingers. She loves music and looks up everytime she hears a guitar or a piano played on the TV. Play a song and her little head just bobbs up and down, she claps…I just love it. Just wanted to share some of my100 million things today.

OK. I heard about a 90 day challenge where you post your blog comments or a YouTube video blog everyday for the next 90 days, from September 1st to December 1st. These posts are documenting your commitment to improve your life in some way. I am going to take the challenge and go full force with it. The post can be about anything that documents areas of your life you would like to change and improve. I can’t say that I stuck to blogging over the past months and half, due to analysis paralysis ( I was trying to figure out how my blog actually worked instead of just doing it) but I am committed to doing it now.
My focus of, course is on singing, health, and family and spiritual health. I want to take you on the journey with me for the 90 days. You can do it with me too. My goal is to, each week, put up at least one video performance of some great songs I always wanted to learn and perform or those that I had written myself. Singing makes me happy, it uplifts my spirits. I just feel an overall sense of fulfillment when I sing and that happiness translates into every aspect of my life. Some say that music resonates in your being and can actually change the cell make up in your body from rigid and sharp to rounded and harmonious ( I think it was in the movie “What the Bleep”).
I also still need to work on my weight loss. So that I keep myself accountable, I am announcing to the world that I am committed to an exercise routine and cutting down on my food intake. I also need to work on getting my baby to sleep through the night so that I can get enough proper rest to be my best in all areas of my life…which aint been happenin’ with my little 14 month old.
So, let me know if you are down to go through this journey with me…what are your commitments? I have an accountability partner and we state our specific commitments for every 30, 60, and 90 days. Even if we don’t reach every commitment we just re-adjust, acknowledge each other for all that we have accomplished and keep going. You would be amazed at how it really keeps you on track with your goals and gives you clarity in the direction you want to take in life.
I want to sing…I love to sing…so watch me sing like crazy over the next 90 days.
