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 #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[…]
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 #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[…]
