Good Morning My Lovelies & Handsomes!
Mum's been the word for the past few weeks, not because you haven't crossed my mind...there's just been ALOT happening all at once. On June 25th, I had planned to write this big ol testimonial entry and right when I hit the computer, I got wind that Michael Joseph Jackson died. WHAT?!? If you know me at all, you know that "MJ dead" isn't quite possible in my world. In short, I've never thought MJ was human to begin with so he's probably moonwalking in the galaxy, talking with God & the sacred ones, and pointing to the next planet he wants to rock cause you know Earth wasn't his first stop anyway! I still have my MJ picture I used to carry with me each day in elementary school. KRISTEN VICTORIA LOVES YOU MICHAEL, and I wish I could have been born 10 years earlier so we could have been real, true, "Precious Moments" friends.
Even if I don't want to stop jumping around & yelling to the Jacksons all day long, I have to because I have an extraordinary life to live too! In the last few weeks, I've had the amazing opportunity of being featured on an online radio program (thank you to all who called in!!!), getting in touch with some amazingly talented and well-known producers, pitching my work, and being selected to volunteer at the LA TV Festival this week. The momentum of the last few weeks has been so humbling. I feel a breakthrough in the midst, and I finally feel good about walking in it, and just letting the miracle happen. A few months ago I was super nervous about showcasing any work and the power of saying "I am..." versus "I think I am/can..." is ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT. Not sure if anyone knows this but when MIchael was recording Thriller, he wrote on his mirror constantly. "I am going to sell 20 million albums. I am going to make the greatest selling album of all time." No matter what else went on in his life, Michael tapped into that God power, the fearlessness it takes to be GREAT. I've often thought that greatness cannot really function well in a mediocre society, one that prides itself in getting over (yes, America!). But anyway, my goal is to tear down those walls of doubt and just be freakin spectacular...
The TV Fest was a great experience, and oddly enough alot of people were inspired by "my story." We all have a story, and since I was a door monitor, I probably ended up testifying at least 7 times. I was the only person from WAAAY out of town. Briefly, a few mentors strongly suggested that I make my way out here. By the time I looked up the info, the pitch pit opportunity for show creators was closed and the registration fee was $550. Um yea, not paying that much. But the very next day, I "bumped" into a former colleague who suggested I volunteer. He reached out to the volunteer committee but there were no more spots left. Of course, I'm thinking I'm still gonna go...and I got a call just last week asking if I was still available. So, I was a last-minute shoe in for the volunteer spot and I got my behind out here. Guess where I'm staying? Aaah, with my father and his family.
So that takes the trip into a whole other stratosphere which I haven't really broken down yet. I'm really happy to have this opportunity to spend quality time in my father's comfort zone, talk with him, have dinner with a piece of me (siblings whom I don't know too well), and even learn the hustle from my father. We are building a relationship and I am most excited about facing some of the emptiness that (he and) I may have felt and moving THROUGH that. I appreciate all of them opening their home and extending their hearts to me. Everything in due time, in HIS time...
It's a calm, quiet morning in California. I'm so Eastern Standard Timed out it's not even funny. I meet with the Bythewoods for lunch this afternoon. Still trippin out that they have carved out that time. I vow to always make time for those up and comers who email and call me...cause Lord knows I'm getting at these folks, and it's amazing to be heard!
