I am truly blessed to be give the opportunity I have been getting. I also have shows coming up Monday May 16 at The Rovers and Monday 23 in Kestion Market. I have also been writing lots of new songs with Sean, Zubin and Mike. So tuned for the new songs. I am going to the studio this friday to record more songs. I have a lot going on and going to do weekly video blogs. I also started Turbo Jam and it is the best way to start you day let me tell you.

Hi Everybody,
I had a very exciting last few days. I went to the yoga convention on
Saturday afternoon and that was rather different. I have never been
before and got to see some cool exhibits and meet some people. I also
got some songwriting done when I woke up so that is good news. Then I
decided to surprise Mike with a visit to Woodstock and we had an
relaxing evening watching some cool movies. Then I got to sing Sunday
evening at the night service at The Center for the Spiritual I love being able to sing there ever Sunday.I then had a long week of rehearsals with Riley Anderson for our shows that are coming up on April 23 at The Bread & Circus at 299 Augusta Ave at 9:00pm and the other show is April 29 at The Center for The Spiritual Living Queen Street East. Riley and I have a name now for our Sunday night services called Soulful Revelation. I think it's a great name cause the morning band is called Absolute Grove and they are super talented so we needed a name and that just fits well together. I have also been doing two TaekwonDo classes daily and working my way up to two classes a day five days a week. I did two days of two classes each day already so I have three more to go. There are new teachers at the place that I go to now and man I am super soar but I love it. No pain no game!!:) I have also been writing quite a lot the last few days and working on some daily video singing blogs. So that is my next things to do as well as writing I will also be doing video blogs. I had a vocal lesson with the great Micah Barnes on Monday that was so needed cause of my shows that I have coming up. Micah is such a great teacher and a amazing friend to me. If you looking for a singing teacher Micah Barnes is the way to go.
Love, Light & Laughter.

I am doing a night chat today. I have a very productive day today meeting up with Riley Anderson to work on the song for the show on April 21 at The Peacok. We also did some fun video taping of the rehearsal and I am going to have the video footage up soon on youtube so keep and eye out. I love playing with Riley doing songs acoustically. We are two separate artists working together doing what we love that is the most important thing. We are playing this Sunday at The Center for the Spiritual Living the third new night service at 6:00pm on Queen street east. After a fun fulled day of rehearsal/ video recording with Riley I got to hang out with Natasha to pick our favorite pictures of the shoot we did with Cam Ta. It was cool that we both had similar picks cause there are lots of pictures to choose from and we have to pick 10 out of 100's. Do a photoshoot with Cam Ta is so much fun cause she really captures you and then adds this amazing brightness that makes you pop. I love her she is so talented. Natasha is a really talented hair/makeup/special effects artists so I can't wait to do some crazy photoshoots with her so stay tuned for crazy pictures,dress up splashes of fancy makeup. I also did not one but two classes of TaekwonDo today and I feel strong after doing that. I love TaekwonDo it is such a great workout, builds discipline, makes you strong and most import you get fit. I think when it comes to fitness it's important to find something that really makes you happy cause then getting in-shape comes so much easier. I really enjoy a hard core workout when you wake up the next day and your so soar you can even bend down. The best it to make it part of you daily life and month down the road you see defined results. Then I meet up with my cute partner in crime Mercedes for a business meeting for the show with have together on Thursday April 21. I am grateful to work with another talented artist and do plan shows together. We work so well together being two very contrasting individuals but have similar goals. Nice to find like minded people to work with. I love the people in my life that I get to work with they are so oozing with creativeness, positive, happy go lucky and super stars. I thank God for all these gifts he has given me and lets me share them with all of you.

Hi Everybody,

We did so many amazing things like go on long nature walks, did some creative writing, drew some really cool pictures, cooked fun new foods and watch the whole first season of a really cool tv series called Fringe. Sometime is great to get away from where you live and just chill. I had a great run with Mixed Company Theater worked with some really talented people and our last show was super fun on April 6, 2011. We got to do the show on a very big stage and it was also filed that day so can't wait to see a copy of the show. I was sad when it was over cause I really enjoyed doing the show and spreading awareness to the youth of today. But it might get picked up in the Fall so that will be super exciting if that happens.Now I have two show coming up on next Thursday April 21 at The Peacok at 10:00pm and the other show is April 29 at The Center for the Scriptural Living. So I working away on my shows and also writing new music to share with all of you. I am very excited for the months to come the warm weather is amazing.

It's a Beautiful day this morning!!:)
Today is the day that the Mixed Company Theater do there very first show called the Tree Amigas in a high school with over 300 plus student. I am getting ready to embody all my characters Stacy the teen age binge drinker, Officer Brian the power tripping cop, Mizz.Kathy the control freak mother and Rob the pot smoking perverted teenage male. I know right and I get to switch in these characters pretty quickly one scene to the next. I love this show and can't wait to get to the school today and change so thinking about how serious the long terms effects are of drinking, drugs and smoking. But it all done it a very clever, funny way with a serious twist at the end. I am also going to hit up some writing songs and working out. That is the daily goal is write, write and write. I am going to gear up and get my yellow belt in Taekwondo very soon. On the music front have have a bunch of shows on the way for this week and April. I am going to be singing at two open mics one in Mississauga at Boston Pizza on Thursday and the other one on Friday at Statler's on church street downtown. So come out and sing some songs and hear my new song and let have a great big music jam cause it's so much fun.
Love, Light & Laughter.

So the word of the day is improvise. Why you ask well I have a funny story about being on the ball and finding a solution. So today the cast of "Tree Amigas" went to perform the very first show of the tour at Archbishop Romero CSS and it was a hit. The show being about the effects of binge drinking, drugs and smoking we left our fake drugs for the show at the office. How ironic really. So we improvised and made some new ones with news paper, plastic bags and it was just the same cause it all about the delivery after all. The audience has no idea what is going to happy but if you as the character believe what it is so does the audience. Was really happy with how the show went. It was great to get the first show on the roll and meet new people. Also have an impact on the youth of today to showing them the worst case of situations and how to deal with them when they are presented with that situation. Was great to get the youth up on there feet and involved in the show and them showing us what they would do in that situation as well. Other thing that was brought up today was how we stereo typed the cops in the show. I thought that was a really great comment. Cause both of the actor in the show me being one of the cops how they are viewed but again we did the show in the worst case situation so a youth who got busted for a high amount of drugs that were discussed in the show that is what athority would do.

I was in various rooms with over 300 musicians, some really talented friends that I have not seen in a long time and some close friends. It felt so great to be surround by so much creative energy. It made me super hyper and for those who know me I am pretty hyper so times that but 1000.

I was number 230 and it was amazing to get in the room and ROCK. I really did rock there face off and got great feed back. So send all your love, positive energy this way and cross your fingers, toe, ears and elbows.

Hi Everybody,
Today was an amazing day of electric, exciting fun!!:) I am working on a youth show to talk to kids about the effects of drugs/alcohol and we did the read through today for the completed script. I get to play the role of a drunken teen, Mother, Cop and a gangster male sweet deal for me. I am ready to take a big bite into these characters and put them on their feet. I am also going to be singing this Wednesday night to raise money for Japan. It's crazy what is going on all around us. What is even very eye catching how calm Japan is about what is going on. If that were USA or Canada it would be a completely different story. Japan is in my prayers each and everyday. I am looking forward to all the exciting shows I have coming up and most importantly stay tuned for my new songs.
