New Year's Resolutions 2016: Activate Your Life!


Have you started your New Year's Resolutions for 2016?


This year I'm trying something different.  I teamed up with some close friends (accountability partners) and we wrote our resolutions this past weekend (before January 1st). This is a great thing because that means I'm working towards my goals before the start of the new year. This way, I'm already in motion towards my goals for the new year. We plan to check on each other during the course of the new year to track our progress.

I am believer in new year resolutions (goals) for the new year.  I feel they give you something to look forward to and to work towards during the year.  My problem with resolutions are I don't have them in a place where I can see them on a consistent bases and I often get off course during the course of the year. I find myself at the end of the year wondering what went wrong. To counter this, I've created a goal book where I've printed my goals out and I can refer back to them on a monthly basis.  I've also created a couple of vision boards that I can look at daily to remind me of my dreams and desires.

This year, I also joined the Activate Movement, lead by the chief Activator, Lucinda Cross. From the Activate Conference in Atlanta in September and vision board parties at the Circle of Sisters in October and the (place) above Grand Central Station, I noticed a huge improve in my life and perspective/outlook! It's so empowering to be around dynamic, movers/shakers, phenomenal woman who are striving for excellence and to help others. It is often said that you should surround yourself with great people and people who are doing better than you. I've found this to be very true. Every Activate event was a learning experience and a wealth of knowledge that is invaluable. They have definitely kept me focused. For more information about the Activate Movement, visit: http://lucindacross.com/.

That's my theme for 2016: Focus (Back to the Basics) - to stay on course and focused on my goals no matter what the distractions/interruptions.

I wish you much success, good health, love, happiness, wealth, prosperity, peace and joy throughout the new year 2016 and beyond!

Much Love,

June 30th: Happy Birthday to me!!




On this day, Tuesday, June 30th, I woke up especially grateful.  Grateful that God has allowed me to see another birthday.  I woke up to love.  The love of a great man who showered me with his love and gifts and all the support he's shown me all year!

I woke up to knowing I have the love of my family, friends and fans and all who my supports my music.  If you have love in your life, that's all you need.

I thank God for giving me the strength, focus and wherewithall to continue my music even after all these years.  That love and desire for it is still there and getting stronger.

I thank God that I have a job with wonderful co-workers and experiences that had helped me grow as a person profesionally and personally.

Finally, I thank God for my health because without that, I wouldn't be able to do anything. He revealed to me some changes I needed to make last year and I've been able to keep my weight down, have more energy and greater overall health.

Yes, God is good and life is good.  I love you all of my fans of my music for your continuous support.

Keep striving and reaching for your dreams and the life you want.  I'm living proof that if you never, ever give up you'll get there! Don't give up on life and on yourself. This is going to be my breakout year. I feel it!!

Today, I'm celebrating life and all the good things it has to offer!! Not to mention, I woke up to a birthday message from Google!  How awesome is that!! :)

-- Much love,
