WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

I was sitting here thinking about how I can make a change in my life.  Ive had this blog for years but I never used it as an outlet.  I feel writing out your feelings is a powerful form of art that can inspire and influence other peoples lives, and I often wonder why I don't exercise my gift everyday. I realize that needs to change!  Recently I went to an event and I met some awesome inspirational people who took the time to share their stories with me.  Stories about how to grow, and build a brand to further your career.  I would love to do my writing, acting, and production full time, but sitting at home wishing, and dreaming about it is NOT going to make it appear.  Anytime you have a dream you have to constantly pursue it.  Dreams are like a flower.  In order for it to grow you need to water it, and nurture it every day.  You cant just plant the seed and expect it to flourish.  One thing I can say is Thank God I did not give up! No matter how hard things got for me here in LA I stayed.  This is my home, and I'm not leaving until I choose to, and when I do move it will be to something BIGGER & BETTER!

The movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness" is something very near, and dear to my heart because it reminds me of a time in my life when my mother and I were homeless in NY, and we had to live out of a car, and stay in homeless shelters.  It was a very difficult time in my life but I wouldn't take it back because it strengthened me and prepared me for my future.   I hope you enjoy this video clip and find inspiration in this post!

BY ANY MEANS!

Right now I’m in the frozen faZe, waiting for my time to emerge on the scene. I’m working hard, but not as hard as I could or should.

This past weekend I finally got my photo shoot done, which was waaay over due! LOL but the good thing is I got It Done! So Now What? Well the next step is to grind more on making my dreams a reality, and to continue to persevere through all my struggles by not allowing any pitfalls to get in my way or slow me down.

Sometimes motivation can be difficult to achieve however, when you have multiple things coming at you at one time, but......

Those who succeed in life never give up! So if I wanna make it I gotta Keep It Moving by Any Means! LETS GO!

I included some pictures of my photo shoot below, Enjoy! ;-)

FRUSTRATION CAN BE GOOD SOMETIMES!!

This past weekend I had planned to film Part 2 of my Project for "Luv On Blast" in Baltimore, MD. “Luv On Blast TV” is another section of my Relationship/Music venture. Well unfortunately a director that I found online turned out to be extremely unreliable and unprofessional, so I had to continue the project on my own. I have a camcorder but it was not equipped to do interviews so I just did the best I could. I drove the hour + drive on my own with faith by my side, and I handed out flyers, and networked with people. I was determined not to let my trip go to waste!

After I completed my networking, I researched different options to assist me in completing the interviews on my own. I found out that I needed a “Hot Shoe” attachment for my camcorder in order to attach the external microphone. I also priced Tripods for my camcorder as well, and I found out that everything I needed was relatively inexpensive.

Although it would be helpful to have someone there to lend a hand with the camcorder I can’t afford to wait around for anyone to push my dream!

My point in saying all this is….. When you have a Project that you feel Passionately about as I do with mine you cant wait around for a Team of People to work with you, you have to go out and make things Happen, and after that people will be Running Behind You to be a Part of What you have Started! I have learned to be A Hustler. Nothing in my life was ever given to me. I really believe my current project can become BIG, and therefore I have to push on without anyone’s help. I have learned so much through this lesson. I can now record my own videos, transfer the footage, edit them, and convert them on my own! Its time to make moves, and I’m up for the Challenge!

FRUSTRATION CAN BE GOOD SOMETIMES BECAUSE IT PUSHES YOU FARTHER THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT YOU COULD GO!!!

See You All Soon on TV!!!

HISTORY IN THE MAKING!

“I’M ASKING YOU TO BELIEVE. Not just in my ability to bring about change in Washington…I’m asking you to believe in yours.” President Barack Obama

He believed in us and we believed in him. On November 4, 2008 thousands of people went out and voted for change. We stood together at the polls in support for a better future for our children and our children’s children, and now a change has finally come! I am experiencing so many mixed emotions right now. History has been made, and I'm still in shock about it all! I am happy, but at the same time I’m worried. There is still so much hate and bitterness going on in the world, and I pray for President Barack Obama and his family. This man has put his life on the line to stand for what is right, and he needs a tremendous amount of support behind him to carry out his vision. Yes, "Change can happen," but in order for change to occur everyone needs to put forth the effort. We all need to come together and continue to fight for justice and equality in this country. I feel blessed to have seen this day, and I’m honored to have had a part in it.

The next step is to move forward and make Martin Luther King's Dream a reality. I know he would be proud right now, but will everyone continue to fight for freedom and change? This is not a one day victory. This should only be the beginning of great accomplishments. Barack Obama cannot carry the weight of the world alone. He is a very dedicated individual, but let’s understand things don’t happen over night. Change takes time! Instead of complaining about the issues in the world why not step up and do your part to help? What will you do to bring about change in this country? Before you criticize someone first look at yourself. What have you done to bring about a positive change in the world? Have you ever risked your life, and the life of your family to stand up for what is right? If you haven’t done any of the above you need to sit down and reevaluate your shallow logic. Let’s support the dream not only by voicing our opinions, but by cultivating it in our actions.

"We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." MLK
