Yesterday, I elected to “pout” ala my Facebook profile. I was amazed at the response that I received simply because I elected to do something so “unlike” me. I usually try to keep it all in the positive…knowing that somehow things will work out and not really allow myself to explore (or at least vocalize it via my social sites/blog) that things are really bad or I perceive them as bad ( see here I go again…censoring myself) …. But hey it was emotion and emotion gets responses.

Just to confirm that I was definitely on the right track here’s a another blog I subscribe to and in my inbox …the message of emotionally charged communication and it’s effectiveness.

So still.. I pout…I am bored, feel useless, my bank account is non-existent, and people all around me seem to be finding their place in the world especially in this town of LA. I am in the mode of “what’s it all for, who cares, nobody’s listening , and nobody’s especially buying.” If I have to pick up one more book and the author is telling their story about how they overcame this “something” then their dreams came true and now they are the author of the book I am holding…. well, I’d like someone to tell me how they thought their life would turn out, what they really wanted to grow up and be, and how they didn’t get it. If and how they changed their thinking or had their heart broke, moved on, and let go of the “vision” of themselves that they had built their whole existence around. Tell me that…. somebody tell me if dreams can steal your life or reveal your life. Tell me about when it may be time to let old dreams go and get some new ones…. and tell me when. When has a dream become a nightmare….just how much should one sacrifice to attain the “dream”, what’s the cost? I built a great life in Santa Fe and I am asking myself if I should sacrifice that life and all that goes with it for this? And the “this” , I am not even sure what it is anymore. Is there a formula or some social media tactics for that.?.?. if so do share.

Don’t mind me , I’m just grumpy…

I did some music for Kim and Vito and the Brand U team last year. By being the “musical guest” (kinda like on The Tonight Show) for their DVD – “Conscious Entreprenuer Experience” ; I was exposed to the ultimate in business and creativity. Thanks Kim and VIto….even as an artist you helped me undeerstand that having your own business is the ultimate in creativity …everyday.

Although, I sometimes wanna throw my iPhone into the ocean and go back to my mountain -top retreat in Santa Fe with only my wolves to keep me company…. I am not sure it’s possible. Plus, when I see things like this and how technology really enriches people’s lives…well, I am glad to be “chosen, for such a time as this.” This video is taken from this amazing website  :

I am always amazed at the things I find and the places I stumble upon the the great state of California.

I once heard someone say that California is like a “whole other country”. I never really realized that until I began spending large amounts of time in the Golden State.

We sometimes get so “caught up” in our world that we forget to get out and explore the world surrounding us.

So, upon my excursion this weekend in San Diego ; it had seemed like I had wandered into another country…. This small -town girl from Alabama has never seen a grocery store  like this!

No matter where you are …take time to explore your neck o’ the woods you may find some “fresh fish” !
