Nichole Ayanna here…Maybe I am being a little dramatic with the title to this post. This is the 2nd day of the 90 day challenge where I am have committed to posting on my blog or on You tube everyday for the next 90 days. My posts will be about anything that help to improve my life with regards to living a healthy lifestyle, growing with my music, my family life and my spiritual wellbeing. I want you to do it too and let me about your progress along the way.
Yesterday went ok with getting the baby to sleep a little earlier. It is going to have to be a gradual process but I got her to fall asleep an extra 45 minutes earlier than she regularly does. Of course I have 2 other issues too, the fact that she is still nursing and that she is the bed with my husband and me…crazy isn’t it. So I am actually working on all three issues. If you have any suggestions I am all ears.
I chose some new songs to learn by great black female singers, too. I am preparing to perform for a launch party for my sister’s new mobile pampering day spa which will be in October. She will have massage therapists, teeth whitening, yoga sessions and me performing. Once I get the date confirmed I will definitely blog about it.
I also was invited to participate in the Las Vegas Girl Festival, where a lot of female artists/ musicians and artisans perform or display their artwork for about 2 weeks in October. I’m putting my band together for both shows so, if you are in the Los Angeles area and can play some great R&B, neo soul, and hiphop, let’s see if we can get together and put the show together. Also, you’ve gotta be down to travel to Vegas.
Next on my list to do is to practice, practice, practice. It’s been a little hard to get my practicing in but I will practice in my car, or anywhere I get a free moment to myself. I’ll upload a practice session on YouTube so you can see what I’m talkin’ about. I’ll be back tomorrow for more updates…

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.
