<span style="font-size: x-large;"> ACT Film Festival</span></h2>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">Curated by Jackie Rosaone</span></h4>
<br />
Independent films are really underrated. Of course there's tons of mainstream masterpieces that show in national theatres like this summer's "Planet of The Apes" and "Lucy", but still... low budget, independent films need way more recognition than they're receiving due to the very powerful messages told through the big screen with the help of some very gifted actors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok, so maybe it isn't fair to compare indie films with multimillion dollar block busters, but what I mean to say is that with the small amount of resources that these indie artists have, they truly have a big stretch of the imagination and know how to expand on their potential, using every last drop of their creative juices until their projects reach heights that touch the human spirit which makes their art true art. See for yourself!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I say this because tonight I had the pleasure of being a guest at the <a href="http://www.artistsforcreativetheatre.org/" target="_blank"><b>ACT Film Festival</b></a> curated by Jackie Rosaone (who also coordinates <a href="http://iprhff.com/" target="_blank"><b>The Puerto Rican Heritage Film Festival</b></a>), and was able to watch an array of truly beautiful films - along with one crazy comedic short featuring a very lustful, Latino cast called 912. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deep in the L.E.S. at The University Settlement Society of New York, audience members watched a string of short films back to back. One of my personal favorites is <b>Goddess of Time</b> directed by Gabriel Rodriguez who is an award winning filmmaker, writer, and lyricist. I've always been a sucka for new age spirituality, so this film really caught my attention. After hearing complaints from the community's neighbors, two female cops drive to a Psychic's apartment to send her a warning before they decide to go in with a search warrant next time they receive a complaint. Well, the Psychic turns around and decides to give one of the officers a warning in return. <i>And that's all I'm saying so I don't spoil the whole movie before you see it!</i> ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/hRaHEwMnVIw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Another great film was a documentary/drama called <b>On The Edge</b> Directed by Roy Zafrani, about the childhood of a Russian woman who had moved to Israel with her parents and grew up addicted to drugs. The story was so similar to what happens here in the US, that I'm pretty sure all of the audience members felt as if they could relate. Despite the entire project being filmed overseas with English subtitles below, every problem the young girl faced - be it drugs, alcohol, abortion, rape - was nothing out of the ordinary for an American who wonders if the grass is greener on the other side of the globe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although there's tons of other films that I didn't mention here, this festival is definitely worth checking out next time they premiere. So far, this has been their second time featuring a variety of films; All of them that were carefully selected and definitely entertaining.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span style="color: white;">Can you tell when you're being manipulated? What's Your Inner Truth?</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever spoken to a very persuasive person who tried convincing you of seeing things from their perspective? Of course. We all have. They either spark great debates and intellectual discussions, or eventually you submit to their way of thinking. It can come from a parent, a boss, a priest, a rabbi, a teacher, a general, a spouse, or just a friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They could have good intentions, and express themselves very passionately because they believe to be doing you a favor by persuading you to their side. They may in fact, use the famous line, "If you don't stand up for something, then you'll fall for anything." When you hear that line, does it make you want to choose one solid belief and stick to it no matter what, to prove that you're smart & strong?
Well, imagine Hitler feeding the Natzi's that same line: "If you don't stand for something, then you'll fall for anything," or the Ku Klux Klan telling their members the same thing. Let's think about this for a second. Do you think it's weak to be neutral? Or weak to be open minded and resist having to choose a side, a religion, a class, a political party, or a mob? (yes, I said a mob)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNA6MHCTX07z4kFK1rQMaUOxUAxlD_ckzHyObwaLtttRl9W6FRAhUGP5S_iGOQeTOASJJcooUYIuZS4pF0Mg0duZMsDzawDoRk84duXxe33HET9g81Wco9-FkVmqEQkV-zTVPeIk7bvJag/s1600/lennonquote.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNA6MHCTX07z4kFK1rQMaUOxUAxlD_ckzHyObwaLtttRl9W6FRAhUGP5S_iGOQeTOASJJcooUYIuZS4pF0Mg0duZMsDzawDoRk84duXxe33HET9g81Wco9-FkVmqEQkV-zTVPeIk7bvJag/s1600/lennonquote.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bring this up because I feel that at the root of some of societies most horrific and tragic problems is manipulation. Manipulation is something that gets passed down from leader to leader, to leader to leader, to leader to leader - and down the generations they go. Isn't that interesting? Now, do we blame our leaders for following the protocol? (Such as a teacher teaching out of textbooks that have twisted our history, or a general telling us to kill a stranger once we're already on the battlefield?) I don't know about you, but I don't think <i>blaming</i> was ever a real solution. So pointing the finger is out! However, perhaps, the only thing we really need to stand for, is our own inner truth.
Question is, how do we find our own inner truth with so many voices in our heads? A Ku Klux Klan member doesn't suddenly realize that African Americans should have equal rights over night. And when the light bulb finally does goes on, it's not a smooth transition to start living rightously after doing wrong for so long. Especially when everyone around you hasn't been awakened the way you've been.
Remember this song "IMAGINE" by John Lennon? (Who was assassinated after sharing such a beautiful message). </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imagine there's no heaven </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's easy if you try </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No hell below us </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Above us only sky </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imagine all the people </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living for today... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imagine there's no countries </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It isn't hard to do </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing to kill or die for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And no religion too </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imagine all the people </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living life in peace... </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Think about how controversial this song is. He said, imagine if there were no countries to kill or die for. That means he's against war. He also said, imagine if there was no heaven or hell and no religion too. (America is considered a Christian country.) I personally applaud John Lennon for creating that masterpiece. Will life on earth ever be the way he described in his song? I don't know if it's possible or if it's meant to be. All I know is that if no one is perfect, then that means that even people in a position of power will make mistakes. So think for yourself. Ask questions. And most of all, silence all of the other voices around you until you can hear that gentle voice inside of your spirit, waiting for you to remember your inner, divine, truth before the world around you tried to corrupt it.

I've always been proud of my Latino roots, especially since my culture has such an eclectic history. In fact, it's one of the things I pride myself in because to love beyond skin color or race, means to procreate a family from the spirit & soul. To me, that is the essence of pure love. This, I purposely chose a dark skinned brother for the leading man (Victorious De Costa) in my romantic music video, "POR AMOR", to show that love is skin deep. I fully support & encourage interracial relationships, and though I wish I would've included more couples to showcase that, we wrapped up the video pretty quickly due to scheduling. Enjoy the video & please comment, share and post everywhere!!! Below are some Behind-The-Scenes photos.

<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">IMAGINE IF ALL THINGS MATCHED EQUALLY? WHAT REASON WOULD WE HAVE TO GROW?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As usual, I planned my day to get the most productivity out of it but something interrupted my anticipated flow of events: my reaction to negativity. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all have it. It's as natural as night and day. We live in a world where gravity pulls us in opposing directions all the time and due to our free will, we yield towards one or another.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't know why I felt so compelled to react, but after some weeks of scrolling down my social media news feeds and reading posts that support cutting people off, being better off without fake friends, or complaining that if they're not getting back what they're giving to someone then they're going to holdback, I felt compelled to respond...</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's one thing to see one post about it, but to see it recurring over weeks and months, I found it to be an issue, and so I wrote a status that stated, <span style="color: white;"><i>"There's balance in the imbalance"</i></span>.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sounds crazy right? But I tend to care about people. I really do. And because I love to see people shine at their brightest, it bothers me to see when they're letting their light dim because they're feeling hurt or unappreciated. Eventually it turns into bitterness. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSkJboCF52YlB4HW61rxhlnKuCbHHoRx5fjHyWgJwuEEsb7v9QqAVIibpfaQY4Au8uto2R1k_HJWL76PJbJv5a1F2GSaHu9sqO7Sz9UKorCt7pAogWi6hv6ApxUv9IPYWBrc-w6Ty_lP5K/s1600/Yin-and-Yang-Black-White-Nice-Background.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSkJboCF52YlB4HW61rxhlnKuCbHHoRx5fjHyWgJwuEEsb7v9QqAVIibpfaQY4Au8uto2R1k_HJWL76PJbJv5a1F2GSaHu9sqO7Sz9UKorCt7pAogWi6hv6ApxUv9IPYWBrc-w6Ty_lP5K/s1600/Yin-and-Yang-Black-White-Nice-Background.png" height="250" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I'd like to say is that if you're a natural born giver, you're probably a compassionate, loving person which the world needs more of. And though it can be frustrating to not receive the same amount of gifts, time, and/or affection back in return, the key is to NOT EXPECT IT. When we start expecting things to come back to us, then we kill the element of surprise. Also, if we're only giving with the intention of getting something back, then that becomes a business transaction, and not a true gift. Thus, remember that the universe works in checks & balances and always returns depts. (<i><span style="color: white;">Karma</span></i>) So never think that what you put out you won't get back. Just accept that it will come when you least expect it. But should you look or anticipate it, you will become disappointed because you will stop the air from flowing freely by becoming rigid in your thinking. And gifts should never feel "forced"; they should come from a genuine place.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly, I also see posts like, fake friends are temporary and real friends are always there. Again, why become bitter because life naturally takes people in different directions? Just because someone is not available as often as they used to be, doesn't mean that they were never a good friend to begin with, or that they're fake for reprioritizing their time. Change is as normal as a baby growing teeth and as a senior citizen losing them. The key to healthy relationships is freedom, and we all have different lessons to learn, different paths to walk, and different reasons for doing what we do. At the moment you make a person feel obligated to reach out to you, it then becomes a chore instead of a joy. Don't give them an ultimatum to stay or to leave the friendship/relationship because they'll probably leave to join less domineering circumstances. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thirdly, don't knock others just to make yourself feel better on social media. Like attracts like, so just because your Facebook status gathers a bunch of "LIKES" doesn't mean it isn't negative. You're just attracting similar people who share your sentiments, but who says they're operating from the freedom to love unconditionally & non judgmentally? At the end of the day, it's everyone's prerogative to do what they feel, but I tend to believe that because everyone is different, we shouldn't try to control the need for people to think, say, feel, and do the same things we do. I say, let it flow....</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're hurt because some friends are not as close to you as they used to be, then express how you miss them, or express how you can't wait to cross paths with them again when life presents the opportunity. But don't jump to the conclusion that they're fake because you feel that they owe you more then they're able to give at the moment. Also, if you're a giver and you're feeling unappreciated, then maybe it's time for your giving nature to be accepted by people who have a deeper need. (And be careful not to give solely because you <i>enjoy feeling needed</i>. That can happen when you begin being praised so much that you attach yourself to the identity of being <i><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The One That Everyone Depends On</span></i>) Although it's a great feeling to be acknowledged, don't do it for the rewards. Give because it brings you joy to give, and then you'll never feel disappointed. Thus, if you start holding back out of resentment, it will hurt you more then it does anyone else because you're not living from your authentic core. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The moral of the story is to allow people to be who they are by accepting the fact that there is more balance in the imbalance. How? Because if everything matched at a perfectly equal amount of give and take, then we'd never GROW. We'd stop where we are because we'd be so satisfied with the equilibrium that they'd be no reason to stretch our emotional or spiritual muscles. So trust in the universe and open yourself to the diversity of it all. </div>

But for me, the stars were literally aligned in my favor to specifically jump start 2014 with much more than just a wish --- Astrologist, Stefanie Iris Weiss, (Author of <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/surviving-saturns-return-sherene-schostak/1101370302?ean=9780071421966" target="_blank">Surviving Saturn's Return</a>) explained in detail what the new moon in Capricorn means for me, and everyone else starting from January 1st until the 15th.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now first off, (no offense to you Capricorns), but my birthday is May 23rd which makes me a fabulous Gemini! However, as Stefanie states, the new moon in Capricorn will give everyone an extra push to get off their asses and put their plans into action within the next two weeks (regardless of your sun sign). Imagine a goat running up an incredible mountain, pushing anyone who gets in their way with their circular horns. Can you picture it? The goat represents Capricorn. And some key words for this earth sign are ambition, determination, strength, and work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found this information extremely helpful since I happen to be one of those artsy types that loves to discuss new age philosophy and intellectual theories. In fact, not only do I know my sun sign, (Gemini), but I also know my ascendant (Leo), and guess what? Well, my moon sign just happens to be in Capricorn! I calculated this by knowing my time of birth (10:40 A.M.) - which makes a world of a difference when reading my horoscopes! But fear not! --- If the most you know about horoscopes is the sign of the month you were born in, this blog entry will explain how the new moon in Capricorn will effect <i>everyone</i> on this planet from January 1st through the 15th. And if you still think all this astrological stuff is all a little bit much to believe or understand, (somewhat like a crazy cult following), just remember that the moon does effect the ocean tides and people are mostly made up of water by approximately 75%!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OK, so let's get to the point! After meeting Stefanie Iris Weiss at <a href="http://www.sanavita.org/" target="_blank">Sana Vita</a> for a New Years Day workshop, she explained that the best way to capitalize these next two weeks is by starting something new or stepping out in faith! The power of the new moon falling on New Years Day in Capricorn, can boost up your career to the point where a promotion may be just around the corner. Especially for those creative artists with millions of great ideas running wild but never seem to be able to contain them long enough to formulate a structure in how to execute them; now is the time to form a six-month plan because Capricorn supports a successful outcome! Thus, if you're an Actress who's been jumping from audition to audition, maybe now's the time to schedule a meeting with that casting agent you've had your eye on! Or if you're a painter who's been thinking of putting together a new exhibit or art show, now's the perfect time to begin brush stroking the picture-perfect theme! Stefanie strongly suggests not to waste this strong energy that's here to help plant our feet firmly on the ground and point us in the right direction! I don't know about you, but I think that's a great way to start 2014! Oh, and by the way... since this is my own blog... why not mention what my new years resolution is? It's to enhance my health so that I can build the stamina and vitality I need to fulfill my ultimate purpose in life, and live it passionately!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Where do we draw the line between healthy disagreements and verbal abuse? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In most spiritual practices, (such as Buddhism) they say that everything is as it should be - everything, including people's personalities, natural disasters, change of seasons, war, disease, health; everything!
Let's analyze this for a second. If it is wise for us to simply accept things instead of struggling to control them, then where do we draw the line in accepting abusive behavior from people? Does this mean that we should go with the flow regardless of the outcome because we are <i>accepting </i>chaos & abuse as a natural occurance? And... does this statement suggest that we are helpless to things that are bigger than oursleves?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing I learned is that the only real power we have is in controlling our own actions, but not the actions of others. In this way, I think it's safe to say that it would be wise to accept people and situations for what they are, but that doesn't mean that we have to <i>participate</i> in what we feel goes against the nature of our own spirit.
When I was younger and much more naive, I believed that I had the power to change the world and make it a better place. Now I realize that as complex as this world is, the only real power I have is to change myself as I evolve on this journey. But that isn't something to take lightly. Knowing that I can lead by example means that I myself, must be mindful of how I treat others, and what kind of energy I'm putting out there.
I must agree, that since God is bigger than what us humans can comprehend, then perhaps it is wiser to just accept people for who they are because he designed them that way for a reason. To say that one person is better than another is like saying that one animal is better than another, such as a swan being better than a shark. Both animals are different, and yet both are necessary for the earth - just like people who are opposite in nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, sometimes people who are humble and passive, don't mix well with people who are aggressive and cocky. And when they are forced to live or work together, there's a disharmony that causes arguements and stress. So when should one accept a person for who they are, and/or compramise without being stepped over?<br />
<br />
I believe that the reason why the Buddha said, "All is as it should be", is because earth is like a school where people with all kinds of personalities have to learn how to give and take in order to find balance and harmony. If we were born into a perfect world, then there would be nothing for us to strive for. I also don't believe in accidents. Some people are born into beautiful families and environments, while others are born into hardcore situations where it's a fight to survive from the very beginning. Now, how do we say that it's the child's fault for where they came from? So while we're growing and developing, there's all kinds of reasons for how we are shaped and molded into the kinds of adults we become. My thing is that, if someone is hurtting you repeatedly through by causeing you constant heartache and grief, then it may not be your job to change them (because you can't), but you can learn to let go of that relationship and still wish them well. As I mentioned above, the only person you can change is yourself, therefore, it would be wise to accept others for who they are and just worry about making your own life better. That is your sole responsibility: YOU.<br />
<br />
Try not to question why certain people are cruel, short tempered, manipulative, or whatever. No one is God, nor can anyone comprehend <i>all</i> of his creations. There comes a time when one would benefit more from continueing on their journey by exploring other pastures. It's ok to retreat and discover new people, new lands, new careers, and/or new lifestyle habits. Of course everywhere you go, there will always be challenges, but there's a difference between stumbling upon obstacles and getting abused. You'll know in your spirit when it's time to fight a certain battle, and when it's time to let go. Remember, we don't have to know everything, and we don't have to change everybody. Allow pwople the space to be themselves, and focus on being a better version of YOU. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">YOU CAN DO IT ALL...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As long as you take mental breaks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Who wants to lye on their death bed with regrets? Wishing they would've done more but didn't find the time to? Whether we work too hard while neglecting family & friends, or spend too much time with family & friends while neglecting our life-long dreams & goals, people tend to wish that there were more hours in the day to do it all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now... I may not know everything, but I do think that I'm pretty correct when I say that sleep is important for our health. If you've ever been awake for more than 3 days in a row, then you'd know! (The body begins to slow down like an outdated machine.) With that, how do we prioritize our waking hours?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdDYVE13xbhfkWmo86ZrZBMeV9bpYo5Y5_89vrGF8qhjLMLPrFpbnMSZiKmeUSiNwrNg-m8dqxpkmjXIiXsf-T5Z3-ig81O0sba_OL_qArJSvQ_qLe2beKS2XW_FoEpaS5q9EEkcV5h5Yf/s1600/DSC_0753.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdDYVE13xbhfkWmo86ZrZBMeV9bpYo5Y5_89vrGF8qhjLMLPrFpbnMSZiKmeUSiNwrNg-m8dqxpkmjXIiXsf-T5Z3-ig81O0sba_OL_qArJSvQ_qLe2beKS2XW_FoEpaS5q9EEkcV5h5Yf/s400/DSC_0753.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
Speaking for myself, I've learned how essential it is to give myself a mental & emotional rest. That's right! Haven't you ever been haunted by mind chatter? Or been surrounded by a group of people stressed out about coordinating a major function such as a wedding, an awards show or a gala, and before you know it, you're ready to pull your hair out of your head because their nervous energy is so contagious? Well, check out my little story... (It's all relevant to how this post started)<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week I performed at the KatWalk Katerers fashion show in Manhattan, making my entrance through a second floor fire escape where I walked up & down steps from building to building with a wireless microphone. Prepping for it was fun, but it took long hours getting ready for hair & make-up, plus rehearsing with 3 other models who accompanied me by dancing on different parts of the fire escape. When it was all said and done, the audience loved it! (Which is the most important part) But being back stage in a room filled with models, make-up artists, designers, and photographers became a little chaotic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've also had an Anthology (A Collection of Short Stories) to edit this week, my novel that I'm still wrapping up; I'm prepping for more upcoming live performances, and I'm still working on new material (music) with other producers - and one more thing, I have additional scenes to film for my next music video coming soon... (Yeah, and that's not all, but I think you get the point at how crazy my schedule can get - like yours, I'm sure!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now... with all this going on, wouldn't it be wise for me to stop and take a breather? Of course! But a pause is just a pause; it doesn't mean you stop it all together, or quit one thing to have time for another. (For example, you don't have to choose family over your career, or choose your career over your family) You see, with a pause, we can meditate, take a bubble bath, pray at a temple or church, do yoga, read a book, and/or watch a beautiful movie, etc. And those simple pleasures allow us to let go of it all for just a little while. Throughout that time (let's say while meditating), we can listen to our intuitive voice within that lets us know what needs to be omitted (discarded), and what can stay. This is the process of de-cluttering negativity. which can come in the form of negative projects, negative relatives, and/or negative living environments, etc) Thus, if our little voice inside says that we can do it all, then believe it! All you need are positive projects & people for the energy to flow smoothly like a breath of fresh air! A living example is Oprah who is a one woman empire - with television shows, a magazine, her own network, books on her life, and even acting roles in movies!!! (Now you're getting to see who one of my inspirations are)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp3_xZ4BqbKFXHHHn1lsY9KK8CqtFvi55o7yvTzcCKAh3swuNFrd26CmZeX_NE8HiSsEy339etXcioLc6qf0M9heGWBho4bLsv1h69rttFLkPXtSs6RnsRnTY5yE7FkNDgTfyCKJBc020F/s1600/DSC_0783.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp3_xZ4BqbKFXHHHn1lsY9KK8CqtFvi55o7yvTzcCKAh3swuNFrd26CmZeX_NE8HiSsEy339etXcioLc6qf0M9heGWBho4bLsv1h69rttFLkPXtSs6RnsRnTY5yE7FkNDgTfyCKJBc020F/s400/DSC_0783.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The thing is, there's never too much work. (Nope. I don't believe it's ever too much.) When we say it's too much, we limit ourselves from expanding/growing. I just believe that we should carve out time for meditation by making it a PRIORITY. (Yes, carving out time for a bubble bath can become a priority if it means that for one hour, you relax so when you're finished, you're in a better mood, feeling good and thinking clearly.) Oh believe me, I'm sure Oprah does it too! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the keys to success is that you're at mental peace with yourself & your life. Because if you're not, then you'll become forgetful, irritable, angry, unapproachable, and hard to work with. But guess what? If you're in high spirits, you'll attract people who want to help, more opportunities will present themselves, and even more love (healthy friendships & relationships) will develop because of your strong, clear & positive attitude! If you don't believe me, then read the ZEN list below and see how much better you'll feel just by taking it all in. Here's to taking a break! </div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Zen is more of an attitude than a belief.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Zen is the peace that comes from being one with an entity other than yourself.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Zen means being aware of your oneness with the world and everything in it.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Zen means living in the present and experiencing reality fully.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Zen means being free of the distractions and illusory conflicts of the material world.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Zen means being in the flow of the universe.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Zen means experiencing fully the present, and delighting in the basic miracle of life
itself. </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">CHISELING A STORY INTO ITS MASTERPIECE </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's taking me years to complete my first novel. Between writing the first draft which, in its own special right is its own special monster (because you have to unblock fears in order for the story to flow out), you then have to rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite and den some, which is almost a never ending battle because a perfectionist never thinks their story is good enough when they keep finding ways to make it better. But suddenly, something inside knows when it's time to give birth. Ready or not, the universe propels you to move forward and share your work of art with the world! And so you take your chances. Now... when you send it off, guess what is the last step before putting it into print? Editing!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Usually, an author doesn't edit their own work. They send it off to an extra pair of eyes, and if their that serious, they send it off to a couple of people - the more the merrier! And after their ghost writers or editors finish their job, the publisher has their own in-house editor that gives the book its last shave. But here's the deal: Would you rather write your own novel, or edit someone else's?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge1ev9R2qJVtIqsiPleyNrn_ZKmRXTCib8S442bxn4nBoZ9Pm3YsS8X2H9juwaHuZjJcp5VhHhwOZ_FBaxD1HnGmYu6xOjRiEYXZdub3vjdO-SZlj7zouryQrF3LE-WUng_3b6NOQ_Olsv/s1600/how-to-make-perfect-coffee-and-tea-1-size-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge1ev9R2qJVtIqsiPleyNrn_ZKmRXTCib8S442bxn4nBoZ9Pm3YsS8X2H9juwaHuZjJcp5VhHhwOZ_FBaxD1HnGmYu6xOjRiEYXZdub3vjdO-SZlj7zouryQrF3LE-WUng_3b6NOQ_Olsv/s320/how-to-make-perfect-coffee-and-tea-1-size-3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To me, it's like choosing between coffee or tea. Both drinks keep you up during long work hours, both are somewhat healthy to digest, and both are faithful companions that will stick with you throughout the entire process - since their addicting. But the truth is that most people prefer one over the other, and rarely drink both. You're either a coffee drinker or a tea lover. Me? Well, I <i>love</i> coffee & and I <i>like</i> tea. (And to be even more specific, I prefer Dunkin Donuts over Starbucks any day - not because of the atmosphere, but because of their killer, delicious hash browns!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay... so here's my coffee & tea comparison to writing & editing. Even though writing my own novel is a super long process, it's also very satisfying because it's my own idea, which makes it my baby. But... when I'm editing someone else's story, the love is a little bit different because I can't change or alter their story since it's their vision. All I can do is enhance it by polishing up the spelling, grammer, and maybe... maybe... maybe rearranging certain scenes in a different order so that their story flows a little bit better. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I'm learning, however, is that I SHOULD put as much TLC into someone else's story when I edit because that's what I'd want my editor to do for mine. The last thing a writer wants is to send their story off to an editor and it comes back disfigured. So, as I take on this new project, editing an Anthology compiled of other women's stories, I keep in mind that every short story is someone's baby. And so my job as an editor is not to change <i>anything</i>, but to clean it up - give their story a shape up sort of speak. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you ask me what I prefer, editing someone else's work or writing my own story, I'll say that I prefer writing my own story while drinking a cup of <i>cafe con leche.</i> (<i>caliente</i>) And while there are other writers who enjoy editing other author's stories more than writing their own, there will always be die hard tea drinkers whose taste buds prefer herbal tea drinks over coffee any day. Neither one is better than the other; because it's sort of the same difference. </div>

They say that Brooklyn is the new Manhattan... Umm Hmm.. Uh, pretty much ;) With so many artists and cool venues, shows, thrift shops, and booming businesses, these neighborhoods are becoming home to some fortunate souls, especially artists that need the energy of the city, but still not as chaotic as Manhattan. In addition, there's a new company emerging founded by female entrepreneur, Jackie Melendez, <a href="http://womensnetworkingemporium.org/gallery/">Womens Networking Emporium</a>, looking to support, encourage, and build a community of strong women whether they be entertainers, real estate agents, developers, marketers, corporate giants, and/or any kind of leader making a difference for our future. </div>

One of their first major events was, "Under The Tent", at the Restoration Plaza where they showcased various independent artist (men & women) at a fabulous summer out-door location. I must say, the sound system & microphone was amazing!!! Which I thankfully appreciate because as an entertainer myself, venues don't always carry the best equipments. Most of the time, audiences don't realize what the issues are backstage that contribute or effect a show, but I assure you, having the right equipment is a major aspect to every spectacle! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fun times indeed! I sang two of my latest songs, "Everything You Need", which I have a music video for, and "Soul Mate" which was just released on a South African record label. Among the artists were Edwin Vazquez Musica, SOSOON, and more, plus Evan Ginzburg of Legends Radio was in the house filming the event! If you missed it, make sure to visit their next showcase on Oct 19th, 2013 for another good time! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you believe in warding off evil spirits? Or do you think this kind of language is hocus-pocus? All I can say is that as an artist, I've been taking time out for myself lately to re-prioritize everything about my environment so that my art is coming from my higher, authentic self instead of from peer pressure to sell units by means of going against my true spirit. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a difficult balance to achieve. Sort of like the yin and yang. Where there is light, there are shadows and so we'd be foolish to ignore that instead of embracing and understanding it. If we are to appreciate a warm day, then we have to experience a cold day, therefore, embracing both sides of good and evil are necessary because both polarities exist in a world of duality. What does this have to do with being a successful artist? Everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's a reason why they say, "What good is it for someone to gain the world and yet lose his soul in it?" At all times it is essential to stay grounded and level headed about who you are as a person. Popularity and fame can really get to ones head, which is why and how so many great artists experience hard losses and steep falls after making it to the top. To each their own, but I personally feel that one should never lose touch with their spiritual side (drowning out their intuitive & divine inner voice) to feed their impulses and adrenaline in the materialistic realm. How can our art, our music, our films, our work, and our messages lift up the human spirit & spark emotions to inspire if we "ourselves" are not in alignment with our higher self and the greater plan?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What's the greater plan, you might ask? No man is an island, although sometimes we forget that every decision we make is backed up by our actions which cause a ripple effect in the universe. What we do effects people around us - whether it's good or bad, great or horrible! Thus, because we are all connected to each other, it's important to be awake and conscious of what messages our art is sending, especially when artists (public figures) are influencing large audiences. Doesn't it make sense that if you we're created with a gift to "share" and grab the attention of an audience, then that must mean you are part of a greater plan? A plan to move people, to inspire people, to speak to people, to entertain people, to effect their mood and emotional well-being when your music is making them dance (if it's invigorating) or relax (if it's soothing). There is power in one person being able to command an audiences attention on stage - especially during a long concert!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepLshtLQaRkEqFw63S7j4rKn8S-KfygntLPXY9GhjrdqPokrPf0Zi3sdU_Hx8-fnJl3X1RgFMBVo6e6ifV03WKAKOGyj1O-pxjoAyz_ac0JdWZ2_NTWS5YNL__V7CcxdueWcXPKNUzDkt/s1600/DSCF2169.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepLshtLQaRkEqFw63S7j4rKn8S-KfygntLPXY9GhjrdqPokrPf0Zi3sdU_Hx8-fnJl3X1RgFMBVo6e6ifV03WKAKOGyj1O-pxjoAyz_ac0JdWZ2_NTWS5YNL__V7CcxdueWcXPKNUzDkt/s320/DSCF2169.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With that being said, as we artists intract with the public by shaking hands, taking pictures after shows, being interviewed by journalists, and engaging with crowds during our performances, it's important to shield ourselves from possible negative energy because we don't know what people are releasing in those moments. (As I mentioned earlier, we'd be foolish to ignore the fact that light & darkness coexist in a world of duality) There are psychic debris whether we realize it or not. Thus, even us as artists are not perfect individuals either, and so we should be responsible with the kind of energy that we are giving off to the crowd. Are we suggesting that people beat each other up with our song lyrics, break families apart for one night of lust with the wrong person, or convince others that living selfishly according to our narcissistic egotistic lifestyles is cool? There's already enough music on the radio sending out messages with their strong, vibrational frequency, hypnotizing people under the influence of a good rhythm and catchy hook that when sung over and over, becomes as powerful as chanting. As I mentioned before, to each their own. But I'd like to think that as we tap into a higher power, pray often, and consider the fact that our decisions does effect others, that we use our talents to empower one another and truly make our mark in society as real artists that people respect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not every song or act may be conscious. Art is art. Therefore, part of what makes it special is that we don't censor the truth which sometimes isn't so positive. Sometimes we must purge and vent our frustrations through our music to make a point that something is disturbing or painful. Music and film has always been instrumental to revolutionary movements and even political or religious renaissance. Why stop now? I'm simply suggesting that it is more spiritually fulfilling to be a leader than a follower with your craft. Remember, it's your creation! That's why you are the artist. You are the painter, the composer, the director of your own image, career and destiny. So embrace all parts of yourself and stay authentic. Know that people will try to push and pull at you from all angels to make certain business decisions whether it's to market you according to their vision or sell units according to what they think will earn an immediate income. I say pray on all that you do, and make sure that you are proud of your work because after all, you were born (created) by something bigger than you & I with a purpose - which is part of a greater plan!</div>
