Hello Love! - It's my Birthday!

By J Edward · August 11, 2009 · 1 Comment · 29 Views

I heart Seth Rudetsky! Above is a clip from his Broadway 101 show demonstrating the purpose of a Swing in a Broadway production set to one of my favorite songs, Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love!, from what might be my favorite show, A Chorus Line!

As of 10:07AM on this day, August 11th, 2009, I will be 22 years old and beginning my 23rd year of life on this planet. Looking back on the last year of my life, it certainly has been an interesting ride. If you were too look at any of my writing since my last birthday, you'll witness the number of changes I've been through to arrive where I am now. Through it all, I can see how God has kept me safe and used it all to bring me to a place of balance.

Although I've been unemployed most of this year and struggling day by day, the last year has been the most fulfilling and wonderful I could've asked for. So many extraorinary people have been brought into my life that I have the privelege to call my friends, my family even! I know that the next year in my life is going to be even better and that it will prepare me for my purpose and destiny. Full of challenges? Yes! But it's going to be amazing!

I want to extend a HUGE thanks to Mr. Dave Charest (@DaveCharest), one of my favorite people on Twitter for the best birthday present ever! One of my tweets inspired him to write a new song! Take a listen, it's amazing! I hope it inspires you to never let anyone or anything else tell you what you can and cannot do!

Down by Dave Charest.

Be sure to check out his other songs on Manic Joy and if you are a creative professional, check his website Case Ace Copy!

I love you all!

Here's to another year ahead!

Stay wonderful!

Inspirations - B. Scott - Walk In Your Truth

By J Edward · August 10, 2009 · 1 Comment · 24 Views

I want to give a shout out to my girl, Carla Thompson, known as @cwrite101 on Twitter and author of The Ride, her blog. I had mentioned how, deep down, I believe my voice isn't valid enough for me to say all that I wish to. She had this to say in reply:

Seriously, the temptation is always to look to the right or the left for validation even though we know we are more than enough.

She reminded me that I've allowed myself to lose focus on my truth and discovering the depths of what my truth is. With all sorts of outside influences are pressuring you, whether they be friends, family, money, media, debt, education, etc., it becomes increasingly difficult to hang on to your truth. When we become distracted and forget our own strength and our own voice, everything else we do decreases in it's effectiveness. Our impact dwindles.

Earlier this year, I was introduced to Mr. B. Scott, a YouTube legend, and for good reason! You never know what to expect from him. Sometimes he's totally outrageous and hysterically funny, other times, he is on it! When he feels the need to bring truth to all his love muffins, he tells it like it is and leaves you feeling so empowered. His dedication to being nobody else but himself and making his dreams reality is tremendous.

Please watch and be encouraged. Walk in your truth and step forward in faith!

Be sure to follow Ms. Carla Thompson on Twitter @cwrite101 and vist her blog The Ride. B. Scott is also on Twitter @LoveBScott and on YouTube.
