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 #5: I’d Rather Be Happy Than Right!
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home Where should I begin? I think I want to talk about this tendency I’ve had, pretty much my whole life, of putting my time and energy into having to be right, rather than putting that time and energy towards being happy. It’s utterly exhausting and pointless! How many times have you heard that statement? “Do you wanna be right, or do you want to be happy?” Well, I know what my answer is at this stage of the game. I want to be happy, and being right is no longer an option for me. What has being right gotten me so far, anyway? Let’s see… hmmm…. To be 100% honest, and this in very humbling and embarrassing to say, but I’ll say it because I want to get this point across clearly. Being right has gotten me into unhealthy relationships over and over and over again. It’s kept me oh so close to reaching my musical goals, but somehow oh so far away. It’s kept my true heart hidden and my intellect strong. It’s created a false sense of security and a warped sense of reality. It’s[…]
Blog #3: Getting Out Of My Own Way
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to obtain 100% of the energy and courage you need to spend every day of your life doing what needs to be done to achieve what is authentically meant to be? How amazing would it be to live life to your full potential and have nothing stop you? Wouldn’t that be something? I want that! What do I do to get that part of me to be consistent in achieving this current goal and every other one thereafter? That is the question I ask right now as I write Blog # 3. The past few days I have been working on a number of tasks to getting Pinocchio a home.
Blog #2: I Wonder… Does This Fear Ever Subside?
From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home I am letting you know from the very birth of this blog series that there is this voice inside of me that desperately wants to believe that I am wasting my time doing what I love most, music. It’s telling me that no matter what effort and energy I put towards writing, singing and creating music, it will never be enough, so I can forget about ever doing it full time! I hear this voice so loudly in my head sometimes that I start to panic. I want to introduce this voice to you now so that you can get a clear picture of my experiences along this journey, both internal and external. So, the past day has been focused on me pausing and breathing, rather than jumping right into a full list of actions that will lead me toward getting my music out there on a larger scale. I have been reconnecting with the idea that I do not control anything in my life no matter how much I want to believe I do. My ego would make me believe I was a superhero if I[…]
Blog #1:Who Knows What Will Happen!
The first blog of… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home Who knows what will happen! I am here to figure it all out as I go and share every step of it with you. So what made me think of this title? Well, I have a song called, Pinocchio, and in many ways this title connects to the driving force in me right now. This will all come out as the blogs continue. For now, let me just say that I am a singer, a songwriter and a guitarist who has a very solid purpose, to be of service to others through writing, singing and playing music. I love music! I love listening to it, I love singing to it, but most of all, I love creating it. There is no better sensation then when I sit down to create something and have no clue what will come out and then realize a few hours have passed and I am left with this new birth of a song. It is pure inspiration that does this. It always finds it’s way gently inside my mind, my body and my[…]
