Counting down to 2011

2010. WOW….What a year! Especially when it comes to how Social Networks have linked almost every single era and phase of my life, into one big Glorious Web!  In 2010 I have lost friends, and I have gained new ones…I’ve re discovered friendships that have lost their way through time…and all those crazy things that happen in our 20′s…that we missssssssss so badly as we get older. Friends that have come and gone like a fine thread, through our entire life…and then some.  I’ve learned to laugh more, even when I’m angry,  and I’ve found that Doing things a little different, OFTEN, can create new beauty in my life.  My Music has folded in and out of 2010, often finding myself struggling to write, or being induced with so much creativity that I’m not sure where to even disperse it all. In 2011  . I look forward to MORE, and I look forward to fine tuning the things, I may have lost focus of, because of my intense focus on other things….that have taken a priority in my life. Finish it, and move to the next task…often doing several tasks at once, and just taking LONGER to finish….may as well Tackle things head on.

I have been doing Only music and art for the entire duration of 2010 and have gained a broad perspective and insight on my own direction.  Sometimes I think we are never really FOUND, but lost our entire lives….always finding what suits us, for that precise moment in our life.  I’ve gained a new Grand daughter and rekindled the warm spirit of those, most precious to me. I’ve welcomed diversity, change, challenges and road blocks…because I am CERTAIN they are there for a reason. I have the  belief that Everything Happens for a damn good reason…even if we don’t always know what it is, right then and there. Read more

While I still have today, I would like to somehow, someway, make you smile, or make you think. I would like it if you would take a look inside yourself, and find something that is new, unused, something you haven’t been to before. While I still have today, I would like you to stop forgetting where your flowers are planted, where your seeds have been sewed, where your smiles have harvested. While I am still alive, I would like to know where the bounty of my life has been spent, i would like to see where the path has been cut, so that the next generation can find their way, down a road less traveled.  While I still have this moment…I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has positively challenged me, taught me a different way, a beautiful way. I would like to say THANK YOU to those that have inspired me, taken my measure in their soul, taken my heart in their thoughts, have known me, personally…not superficially.

While I am still breathing and while my heart still beats, I would like to give gratitude to my  parents, to my sister, to my family, for always, always, always having the heart to listen, the mouth to speak, the soul to forgive. I would like to thank my husband, for all his hard work, his love, his faithfulness, his gratitude, his forgiveness and his unending love….I would like to smile in complete joy, for all the laughs we share, all the stories we mend, all the hearts we hold…he is a work of magic in and of itself.

While I am still here, still breathing, I would like to say WOW BOYS….the children I have raised and have had the joy of watching grow, have done nothing more than amaze me! For this, I am always grateful. What amazing men they have turned out to be. My friends, My SouL Sistah’s…my soulMates, my spiritual connections……Thank you…..from the absolute bottom of my soul and up, ALL the way! Thank you for the most gracious times, the most incredible moments, thank you for your remarkable stories of faith, loss and success, thank you for always being real!
