My other small business

For some time I have wanted a way to make money on my own without punching a time clock or worrying about a schedule. I've wanted to start my own home business. After some thought I decided to go to a long time hobby of mine, making friendship bracelets! I learned how to make them when I was in middle school thanks to a friend of mine. I opened an Etsy store back in August called Liv4Friendship. If you would like to support a small business, remember your childhood days, or are looking for a gift for a…Read more

How New Age music changed my life

New Age music has always been a major part of my life from the time I was 13. It's also been a big part of who I am. The interesting thing is the music found ME before I found IT. I had already spent my childhood playing songs by year and even composing on the piano at home. When I was 13 I asked for a keyboard for Christmas. I figured this way I could play the piano any time I wanted without the disturbing the rest of the family. To my surprise, I did get it for Christmas!
Playing on my new Casio…Read more

September, 2012: the trailblazing women I follow; new career changes

Summer kept me busy working and taking care of the family, as usual. I feel like I'm always on the go!! Begin a wife, mom, and working outside of the home full time takes a lot my time and energy. For awhile I wasn't sure if I could pull off trying to start a music career on my own. This is a question that many moms face in their lifetime when they want to switch careers. Many moms question wether or not they can make a career and still take care of their family. I've read about many mothers who left…Read more

June, 2012: Inspiration when things get rough; upcoming vlogs?

The old saying goes," When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" This means you should make the best out of what you have in life when things go wrong. It's important to keep a positive attitude. I know that's so hard to do when things go wrong. I'm struggling right now, which is why I haven't written in awhile. I've been updating my Facebook and Twitter profiles though.
So...it's Summer!! My two oldest kids, my stepson and his half brother, have graduated from high school! Two kids down, and two more…Read more

April, 2012: A black pianist in a New Age world

I have found myself in a unique position. If you look up New Age music artists, you will find that the majority are white males, or whatever their nationality is. Next are white females, or whatever their nationality is. As for me, being biracial, I find myself being a rare gem in the New Age world. Even if you try to google black pianists, and female at that, you'll only come up with a handful of names. I know, I tried looking myself. I wanted to see how rare I was in this vast and growing market of music…

March, 2012: Working on music

Over the weekend, I was working on a song that I started writing back in 2004 called Kiss the Sky. It's a slow song, mostly played on the piano. I can't wait for you guys to hear it when I'm done with it!
I also have another song I'm working on that's more upbeat like Realize. I don't have a set name for it yet, but I'm hoping to get it finished so I can share that one with you also.
I'll keep you up to date on what I'm working on, and any new videos I may be putting out in the future.
Til then, keep working…

How Whitney Houston influenced me

I was going to write my blog post this past weekend and as I heard the news about Whitney Houston passing away, I decided to change it up a bit. Whitney Houston was one of my favorite singers. I own some of her sheet music such as the Greatest Love of All and one moment in time which I learned to play in my youth. I had her first album on cassette and enjoyed singing along with it. Looking back on it now, I realize she was one of those artists that didn't try to sell sex appeal. Though she was a… Read more

January, 2012: Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! I know, we're about three weeks into it, but I want to wish you joy and happiness this year.
If you haven't seen it yet, I wrote a long note on my Facebook profile. I invite you check it out and comment on it. If you're not my friend on Facebook yet, I would love to have you! I just celebrated four years being online working on this music career. The progress has been slow, but I'm determined to kick it into high gear this year! I'll keep you informed as to my plans...
Well, it's late…Read more

Happy Holidays!

Tis the season for holiday fun and memories. At my house, the tree will be up soon and the kids are anticipating another great Christmas of presents, music, and a big dinner.
I've posted a short video for you that I already posted on my Facebook profile and on YouTube. I'll be making more vlogs in the future. I love to inspire others so I may be making some inspirational vlogs. I like to see people feel their very best so they can give their best to the world around them, thus making our world a better…Read more
