It's 2012!!! Welcome to the New Year everyone! This holiday season was what it was suppose to be. What does that mean? It means that I have no complaints. Christmas was spent w/ family and friends. New Year's Eve was spent w/ friends. New Year's Day, I had to work...and as expected, New Year's Night, was spent sleeping and resting! Simple yet ideal. What more could a guy ask for?
My spirit is full of joy. My health is cool, I'm a bit overweight, but I'm working on that. I'm happy. I'm in a very good space. I have great friends. Great family. I have a great job. I've discovered again what makes me happy...
I'm getting back to my music, songwriting. I wrote my first song when I was eight years old. I've written countless songs over the past 15 years -I cannot wait to dive head first into my music again this year. New adventures w/ Myles Spencer, Kellita Wooten and more!!! So exciting!!! I cannot wait. I cannot give too much away, but a lot of great things happening in 2012!
As I think back on last year, it was not a bad year. I graduated from college. I did not move back home. New friends came along. I really do not think I lost any friends...well....there was that one...but that's where? ALL THE WAYYY BACK THERE! The second half of the year, brought me to 106 & Park to meet Kimora. This blog (which is one of the most proudest creations of mine). A new job. Ups and (a few) downs and here I stand. That's a testimony to myself. Realizing what I'm able to achieve when I put my mind to it.
With that said, my new year's resolutions are as follows:
1. To keep my happiness.
2. Secure an apartment.
3. Keep my job.
4. Explore my songwriting (jazz, rnb, rock, country etc...)
5. Continue building my brand.
6. Exploring new avenues.
7. BEING THE BEST ME THAT I CAN BE.
My advice for my readers and the general public for this new year...Be unafraid to be YOU! Stop chasing your dreams and grab them! Make your dreams your reality. Stop living YOUR life through people you see on television. Make the life you live as fabulous, fun-filled and fulfilled as possible by what you have and what you are able to achieve. Put yourself first. Find your center. Secure your happiness. Then do good unto others. It comes back! That's the good life.
Love all y'all for the support! Be blessed this new year!
Ps. I've said it before, I love talking to people. If ever you're not feeling at your best-in need of a little "pick me up," pick up your phone and call me. If nothing more, I'm an ear to listen.
God is love. Love is family + friends.
