Blog #15: “I Am A Human Being… Not A Human Doing”
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home I am finding it so essential to put the breaks on and STOP when I get too caught up in the “doing” of life and forget about the”being” in life. After all, what I am? A Human Being, Right? And what I am finding as I stay present to my instincts and as I continue to trust what my spirit is messaging to me, ever so gently throughout each day, is that the best things in my life are starting to come from practicing just “being”, as much as possible, so that the things that really need to be done on my daily, weekly and monthly checklist are presented to me so clearly that I don’t need to waste any time questioning my next moves or stressing out about “The Cursed Hows” as Mike Dooley likes to call it: So, there is no need for me to worry about how I am going to get Pinocchio a good home. My only job is to keep my goal front and center in my mind and to then follow through by taking the next right action. That’s it! And, the[…]
Blog #14: One Hell Of A Woman… Mandi Martin
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home A few days ago I added on a new thought onto the list of thoughts of mine found on my “Pure Inspiration” page. It was inspired by a sad event for me and for many others in the LA community and all around the world. Mandi, a mentor, a dear friend, and a second mom to me during my years in LA, left us yesterday, April 30th, 2012 from a battle with cancer. The thought that came to mind when my friend Nick, who I met through Mandi years ago, informed me that she was not going to be here much longer was…
Blog #6: Making “Uncomfortable” the “New Comfortable”
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home Where do I want to start? Well, this is Blog #6 of “365 Blogs to Finding Pinocchio a Home”. I committed to writing this blog series a little over two months ago, and I am finding out that by taking actions and having to report back here, to you, it is making this journey more about being my word than about getting somewhere or recieving something in return. This blog is becoming my own reflective template and my own personal playground, where I get to have fun while I share the actions I have taken, day in and day out, towards finding Pinocchio a home. Now, as I begin writing Blog #6, what comes to my mind is this phrase, “Dialing Pain”. An aquiantance of mine called me up recently to ask for a little bit of guidance and feedback in reference to some pressures she was dealing with in her personal and financial life. During the conversation, she said something about her “dialing pain”, and it stuck in my head, so much so, that I feel the need to talk further about it here. This concept[…]
Blog #4: Security vs Freedom
Where Will Life Have Taken You By Your 20 Year Reunion? From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home The Big Twenty! I went to mine this past weekend at The New Rochelle Raddison Hotel. As I type this blog I am thinking to myself, “Should I include my personal life into these blogs?” The answer is yes. Absolutely! Life is what makes art happen. So yes, let’s talk about this experience for a moment, if you don’t mind. The main thought that comes to my mind is: Choose freedom over security and watch life start to open up. Now, this does not in any way mean to live life like a gypsy, which I admit, I had been doing for many years. Yes, I had been living day to day, not taking into account anything but my career as a singer and songwriter, my desperation in wanting to “make it” in the industry. That, by the way, has not allowed for me to have much of a balanced life. It’s like I was stuck in the air on a seesaw for so many years with The Incredible Hulk, my ego, as my partner[…]
