Ktown.. Building the Empire!

Last night I went to my first training sessions to volunteer for One Spark. I was already excited about this event but being in the room while it was discussed amongst everyone really got me pumped! I am disappointed though that so many have yet to even hear of One Spark so I thought I'd take to my blog and fill you all in a little bit on what is is, how it will change the game *in my opinion, of course* and how amazing  it is that we are fortunate to host it right here in Jacksonville, FL AKA Duval! One Spark is the world's FIRST ever crowdfunding festival and it will be FREE to attend. There has never been an event like this. The festival is being described as a mixture of kickstarter.com, ArtPrize in Grand Rapids and SXSW in Austin. If you are familiar with all of those it helps but if not let me break it down for you a little better. From April 17 at 3pm to April 21 at 12pm the entire downtown area of Jacksonville, FL will become a non-stop festival of innovation, creat...

Sometimes I feel like a volcano on the verge of erupting.. the thoughts and emotions that can swirl around inside this head and I always pick and choose what I release and what I hold onto. Don't get me wrong, I am not one to bite my tongue at all BUT I am what I call a consequential thinker. Before I say or do anything I try to think out the response/repercussions. This often means that instead of doing what could be in my best interest at the time I weigh it out and go for the long term results, usually thinking of others before myself... often times this leaves me with a lot of unsaid thoughts and unmade motions... I usually say I am going to do better at this and start just doing what I want but reality is I care too much, I want too much and I think way too much. Problem is I am guessing here.. I only think I know what will happen if I say what I want or do what I want so in reality the only person holding me back is ME. My own fears of moving forward, my own fears of things...

I just wanted to jump on here and wish all of my readers and fans a very happy new year! Hopefully you all kicked it off in the right frame of mind, surrounded by the right set of people with the right goals in mind. To truly get the year started off on the right foot you have to have yourself in the position to actually achieve all the goals you have set for yourself. Break each thing down and see whats required to get it accomplished, follow your own steps and keep track of your progress. When we can actually see the growth that you've made in your plans it encourages you to keep moving forward because you know you can get it accomplished plus it can motivate you to try even harder and excel even more. We are responsible for our own thoughts and our own actions. Stop letting the emotional turmoil of others around you prevent you from being the person you were created to be. Setbacks will always arise but its how you chose to handle them that determines the winners from the loser...

Time for me to put up one of the most honest and realest blogs you have ever seen from me. Since my break up at the end of 2011 I really haven't discussed it. I closed the door, shoved it under the rug and just kept my fingers crossed that every time I went out no one would ask me where 'he' was. I am sitting here looking at the last year. The things that have changed and decided it was time to write this... In that relationship we had it all planned out: goals, dreams, cars, kids, marriage and more. I thought I had met the man that I was going to spend the rest of my life with and I started living just that way. As though this was my husband and he was going to be at my side through it all, no matter what... WRONG. Life isn't that easy.. I should have known that but my happiness and desire for a real committed relationship clouded my decisions at the time. I won't discuss the details of  the break up or intimate details of the relationship but I will say it w...

It's 8:43am on a Friday morning and I have been up since about 6am. Normally I would not be so happy about this but I am starting to adjust to this limited sleep schedule as my body gets used to this medication. I actually got a full night of sleep last night which doesn't happen often and I'm going to the movies today for the second time this week :) Just wanted to put a little blog up today about the importance of appreciating every moment.. the good the bad and the in between. Life knows how to throw some curve balls which can leave us second guessing a lot of things but truth is those are times we usually learn the most. If every moment in life went exactly how we expected it to, how boring would that be? We don't want to live like the Stepford Wives movies so stop wishing for 'perfect' or 'normal' because the crazy is normal and the lessons we learn are perfect, as long as we take the time to pay attention... I always tell people think outside o...

Sorry guys.. I did it again. I wrote the last time back in May and have not wrote since then. Well I have started keeping a journal lately and have started new medication for my A.D.D. so goal is to be better at everything, including writing more often. Writing is an outlet for me and while I write facebook posts and tweets, it's not the same as writing a full blog entry, especially when I have a specific topic to discuss. Plus I want to get more interaction with my fans and this is a perfect place to do so! To touch more on the A.D.D. medicine though... I put up the following update on fb the other day-        I am an adult with A.D.D. Many people think they have it and often times when I mention it I get the same reaction- O I think I may have that too. Some may perhaps but those that don't have no idea whats it is really like. Some are understanding, some just laugh it off and most don't really understand it. Having A.D.D. can be a struggle. The mind is already ...

Ok so I have been horrible.. it has been over a year since I posted a blog and thats just unacceptable! Time really can slip away. I knew it had been awhile but a year? Wow... Wel a lot has changed in my life in the past year and I don't really know where to begin. I guess I will just say the biggest changes are I am now single, moving into a new place with my babies and working a salary position as a Car Rental Manager. I am nowhere I thought I would be when I wrote that last blog and it really make me think about how much life can just change up! Life is actually better now than it has been in a long time. I am doing something I enjoy doing and believe I am good at as well. I started a new vLog awhile back and my friend Sheryl took over as a sponsor and now has Mz. Pop'arazzi shooting the vLog. We go on location once a week to a different event, discuss the vent, shoot some interviews and possibly performances and then I close it out letting people know where the events are...
