Day 43 of 365

Is it me or does it sometime seem that the "Divas" of Music are doing it more for the accolades and adoration of millions then they are doing it for the love of music? I believe that Grammy New Artist winner, Bon Iver, was the most humble in his speech tonight. He said he creates music for the love of music. I wish I cold quote him verbatim but I love how he thanked the other nominees and the artists that will never be nominated. It was really very humble. I know what it's like to get in front of a crowd and sing and what the applause feels like, but I have to remind myself that the listeners response is not whats important. The emotional I feel from the music I am creating is what matters. I sing because I love the way it makes me feel. I feel confident and passionate and free. 
But isn't that how we should do everything in life? Be passionate about something positive, love the way it makes you feel. If you are a great artist be passionate about art, if you are a great cook, be passionate about it, if you have amazing management skills be passionate about it... do you understand what I am saying? Find your passion and pursue it.

Love, peace and stay away from things fried in grease...

Day 52 of 365

Lesson for today, get down on a childs level sometime and really learn to play. I met my 2md cousin this evening. She is smart, outgoing, entertaining and she is only 3.5 years old. She reminded me how,to have fun tonight and she reminded me what unconditional love looks like. Not only was I invited to tea but.she asked me to read a story with her on the floor. She only knew my bff and I for a few hours yet she gave us both hugs goodbye. Kids are so willing to give others the benefit of the doubt and look beyond the physical appearance and get to know a person, why can't grownups do that as well? Something to ponder... Love, peace and stay away from things fried in grease... Musicsongbird

Day 587...Year 2

As I sit and ponder what I have done over the last almost 6 years at Disney, the one thing that stands out more than anything is how blessed I have been to work with the people I have worked with... My COT mentors, My Core Team, My Training Managers, My Typhoon Team...  I miss my Core Team very much but it makes me feel so good to know that we each support each other in all of our pursuits... I love when I am working at my desk and my IM alerts me and it's one of the Cores... Now I won't be getting those alerts from the Principal... It was a great time celebrating his new Teaching job last night but something I wish we had done was go around the table and share our favorite Principal story... So, I will share a few of mine... I had the honor of being his first Disney trainer in Future World North... It was me against 3 guys and out of the 3 he was the only one that still remains at Epcot... He was the first trainee to turn me bright red and leave me speechless and it
