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 #13: “A Brush With Faith”
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home For me, life happens when I follow faith rather than try to chase my dream. Here’s an example. On March 25th I was going about my Sunday as I normally do, gearing up for the week ahead and creating an action list consisting of the actions I plan on taking for the upcoming week to continue the journey of finding a home for Pinocchio! Well, I was meeting up with my Mom for dinner and I told her I would meet her uptown rather than her drive to me. So, I got on the 5 train and headed to 86th and Lexington. I had to quickly use the restroom and so I went into the Barnes & Noble that was right there and went down the escalator and found my way to the restroom. Well, as I walked towards the restroom, there was a sign for the upcoming event for that next day. I double took the sign, it said Joan Osborne.
Blog #12: “The Storyteller”
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home I am a storyteller. I have been every since I can remember. In each experience I had, a story would somehow arise. It started with poems, then shifted to singing acapello. Then I went on to perform in a few school musicals. Next thing you know, I am in my first cover band, which two years later turns into “Blush”, where we were playing just original songs. Then, finally I taught myself guitar. And that changed everything! It allowed me to create my own songs from years of thoughts written down on paper. I am a storyteller… Here’s a taste of what that looks like…
Blog #11: “Thoughts Become Things”
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home I met a man last week at a speed dating event who had a very negative attitude towards the music industry and the creative industry overall. He said there were no great artists anymore, and that there was just no way to make money doing art. He was once, as I discovered listening to him talk a bit more, a man of passion when it came to writing and story telling. His passion must have been stomped from society’s pressures and maybe he felt he had to give up his vision job as a writer and take on a safer job that paid well. As we talked, he said how he was a writer and how he had been a news reporter as well for some time in his past. He went on to say how he knew how to write a story, a real story, coming from nothing more than a few simple facts, but those skills, could not pay the bills, and so he took a job on Wall Street working as a copy editor years ago. He then said how he hated the job,[…]
Blog #10: Saying “Yes” to The Power of Positive Thinking
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home I am sitting on my bed with my wonderful friend, “Mr. MacBook Pro” on my lap doing some music business and I am thinking, “What about if I just write a blog now, right in this space of abundance that I am feeling right now.” Let me explain, you see, I have been spending a great amount of time over the past year praying and staying connected to my higher power asking him for guidance on what action to take next on this journey of life. And as I have been practicing this concept of living with faith rather than living in doubt and lacking, I am noticing that abundance is coming into my path pretty smoothly without my pushing or pulling or tugging or controlling any part of it. The great news about it is that I am not letting those fears, “False Evidence Appearing Real”, scare me away from this abundance. In the past, I most definitely would have and I have spoken about that need to stay under the radar to keep myself small in past blogs and it is wonderful to share with[…]
Blog # 9: Letting Go Of “The Plan”
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home What do I want to talk about right now? It’s been a few weeks since I wrote the last blog. As that time has passed, I have experienced quite a bit of new awareness surrounding the vision I have of making money fully through my art and the money it is going to take to fund this vision correctly, in the hopes that by being focused on this vision, day in and day out, it will guide me towards financial abundance. As this awareness has recently hit me, I have found a new willingness to begin the process of finding another “B” job to continue to fund my “A” job, my vision. This awareness of my need to search for another job became even more clear when I was faced with a family emergency that forced me to think about the areas in my life which still remain to be off balance. It is my responsibility to be willing to do what I need to do to allow abundance into all the areas of my life.
Blog # 8: Accessing the True Self To Create Abundance
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home Yes, accessing the true self to create abundance is the next theme. And I find it perfect to talk about this now, at the very start of 2012. I do not want to put my foot anywhere into 2012 without that foot being a part of my true self. I will be the first to tell you that living in truth and being exactly who I am is not easy, until I accept that “that” is who I am, take it or leave it! Sure, I have wished I was someone else more times than I would like to admit. And yes, I have dreamed of having someone else’s life as well. But in doing that, it has guided me in the opposite direction to having an abundant life. In wanting what is not mine or is not in my reach has only made me unhappy and incomplete. During 2011, a change occurred.
