You haven't heard from me in a while because I had been completely UNDERWHELMED by music. I was all alone on this journey…felt like I really just couldn't get anything right...felt like no one cared...no one was willing to take a chance on me. That coupled with personal ups and downs caused me to feel burdened by it all. But during one of my random moments, I realized that I couldn’t be stuck in "this place" for too much longer because it wasn't doing me any good. So I had to think about the one thing I actually had some sort of control over…
I think we all go through these moments and I truly believe it makes us better and stronger. For me, it only solidified that music was something I truly couldn’t live without. And moreover, during my recent recording, I found a place of happiness which I hope is exuded through your headphones and speakers! It’s important that I speak on that because I realized that in order for anything to fall into place I had to first be secure and happy with what I was doing as opposed to seeking the world’s approval first! I've learned that once I've acquired my own personal happiness, everything else will come along . My happiness begins with me and yours begins with you! So, I encourage you to find what can bring you to that place…
I can honestly say that during my time when I thought that music was taking a back seat, Kayne’s lyrics struck a chord in me: “giving up is way harder than trying”. So that’s what brings me to where I am today…sharing new music with you all! What some may call a mix tape, I’d rather just call songs I decided to put together and share. With that said be sure to check out the music section and download “A Girl Named L…the mixtape”. I know I just said I don’t want to call it that but for the sake of being in 2010, I’ll go with it!!
Hope you enjoy…

OK, so it has been a month of Sundays since I have written a journal entry! But I have an excuse…I've been writing lots and lots of lyrics! So I guess I was still getting my feelings and emotions out, right? Either way, I've been steadily holding onto the dream! I've been blessed to acquire some new ears along the way and that support just keeps me going.
More than any of the time I've said this before, I am really hungry for the RIGHT opportunity. And you may look at me and say I'm probably just hungry because of my size but (HA!) that's neither here nor there. It's just that I know things happen in our time but we just have moments when we don't want to do anything other than what we truly love. And for me that is evidently music. No matter what, I will not stop doing what makes me happy and in turn inspire someone else to realize and then actualize their dream.
Well I am at work right now so let me go before I lose my job…we are in a recession ya know…but I do hope you all love the changes and updates to the site. There will be so much more from me in the future so I hope you are ready for it!

I was once asked which I prefer...Singing or writing. That was a tough question to answer. See for me it's like this, writing allows me to vent and singing allows me to release but I guess you can call it the same thing...it's all about getting something out of you. However, there's a different emotion when you deliver the feelings you've written down. Not to say a situation is the only one of its kind because many people have similar, if the not the same go through, but the effect it has on the individual definitely is unique. So I would have to say singing and songwriting go hand in hand for me!
In using personal instances as a catalyst for my writing, I used to allows say "why me" but now I just want to send a humble thank you. I have been brought to this place of being thankful because it keeps me on a steady path of growth as well as preparing me for what's to come. So what brought along this journal entry today you may ask…hmmm…good question! It's just the realization of my destiny for which great things are in store and I don't want to block my blessing because I can't let go! It also brings me to realize how important my music is to me because it provides the avenue for me to do so…you know…get it out! So as I challenge myself, I challenge you all to leave the past behind so it doesn't stunt your future. Instead let it teach you because I am finding out that this journey I've been speaking of is quite lengthy and we are going to need one another to get through it! Ahhhh…the power of music!

My mind is racing and I can't get it to stop! Maybe it's because I find myself to be inspired by so much. Taking all of the experiences which triggers my emotions and then to turn my words into a melody is truly therapeutic to say the least…It's just that I have so much to say! I mean every blessing, heartbreak, and even friendship gone awry I want to share because I know that someone has experienced the same thing. Maybe I can help them or they can help me! That's just the kind of power music has and is the reason why I love it so much.
This road seems never ending, but I am up for the journey because I know sooner or later I am going to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope you can ride it out with me.
