Listen to the Word around you...

Hello World...

This has been an interesting time for me.  I've been doing some reflecting about choices I've made and getting upset about it and between the Word that my Pastor (Bishop Jackson) has been ministering "The Big Picture" - [today Matt 5:13] then the Word that we got today during the service "Spiritual Alignment" [Matt 3:7] I'm getting the right direction to go forward.  Bishop Jackson has been speaking on using our gifts and our daily lives to spread the Word and then today Pastor Johnson of Christ Point of View Ministries spoke about getting aligned with God and having the power to endure anything and how once we align with God there are certain things that will not/cannot bother us.  I got a Word to continue to follow the vision and yearning of entrepreneurship that has been in my spirit.  Thanks to some Atl connections I've been once again connected to and pulled into a situation that motivates me to use my/stir up my gifts...

Two weeks ago a new ATL friend (by way of  New Awlins be-be) put out a request for some singers for an evening service. I put my name in the hat..I started taking voice lessons last month but was unable to continue beyond July due to lack of $$..i'll pick back up soon though...so anyway we had successful rehearsal last night for today which is something that happens when you have a group of folks together because they love to do something versus there because they have to...so as SOON as we get started (after prayer of course) my friend starts us on vocal warmups..LOL..little did she know the one exercise she had us doing is one that I had the most trouble with when I started in July. LOL!! But I can do 'em now!  What is it you ask? Lip Drills....lawd have mercy...my voice coach had a happy time trying to teach me how to do that...LOL! But who'd a thunk it that I'd need to know how to do this later. HA! love it! So another connection showing me that I'm still on the right path, no need to be frustrated.

Even if you don't believe in the same ideology that I do, everyone understands karma and signs and being in the right group of people.  That's a beautiful thing.  Positive vibes are always good.  Negativity exists in every group/crowd/mindset and it's all about going with your gut/stepping out on faith/listen to the vibes (in the words of Zhane).  When your mind is open and you are ready to follow your heart beautiful things happen.

The objective is to listen to the Word around you....Stay focused, hone your skills and let your gifts make room for you, keep your dream alive and always be around people that will allow you to go to the next level.  The folks that try to hinder you should not be in your personal space...keep away from them...

Keep your head up...

*Peace and Blessings*

Another Legend Gone...Be Productive...

Hello World...

Sad news just in...a sad day in the music world!  We have lost funk/jazz great Mr.George Duke!!  http://www.eurweb.com/2013/08/we-remember-george-duke-dies-at-67/

No matter what age you are, if you wanted to hear or were looking for real music or if you were just raised around real music his tunes graced your ear drums!

Mr. Duke has been blessing us with tunes (studio/live/film composition) since the 1960s and had just released a new album entitled "Dream Weaver" (click here) which is dedicated to his wife who passed away last July from cancer.

Enjoy one of my fave Duke Tunes by clicking here...

Our lesson today: As we enjoy this new day, use your time, every breath wisely and be productive because your next second is not promised!!

On a personal/professional note:  I will be ministering with Christ Point of View Ministries Sunday, Aug 18th in Commerce GA.  Shouts out to a new good friend, Meryl Lain, for creating this opportunity and a shouts out to International Choreographer Ursula Kendall for being a great friend and networking fiend!  :-)  It's good to connect with productive people who operate on a professional level, they allow you to connect with the right people!  Hone your craft, have a plan and be ready to GO!!

Peace and Blessings.....
