Struggles

What is much harder than a developing a dream is to get others to see your vision and believe in it as you do. This is my predicament  now. I have the dream in my soul, I have done what was necessary to make Children's World of Music become a real thing, a non profit. Yes we are a 501(c)3, we are all incorporated, we have bylaws. We have a board of Directors. We have Officers. What we don;t have are funds; funds to secure a building, funds to purchase or rent instruments, funds to pay instructors, funds to buy equipment to record, funds to do fundraiser events. We need funds. We need people, organizations, businesses and all to see the vision, feel the vision, be the change, help us.

We want to be the safe place. The place children can come to express their talents and individuality. Where they don't have to worry about peer pressure. Where they can get tools they will use for the rest of their lives. Where they can learn to play music, write music, dance, perform, record and more.

We want to help them take the correct paths instead of following the wrong paths into delinquency, crime and/or drugs, We to awaken that thing in them that will propel them towards the moon so they land in the stars. We want to help them excel in academics (music aids in math and science) awaken their imaginations, make the impossible possible, but we can't do it alone, we need you, and you and you to help us make a difference.

Please help with your time, your talent, used instruments, and/ or your money. We need you, the Children need you, the future needs you. Please visit our crowd funding page, if you can't contribute (and there is no amount too small), help by sharing our page and our message on all your social media. Use our link as your email signature. Use your imagination and ideas to help us reach our goals. Time is of the essence, please help today. If you are a business entity or organization looking for a non profit to sponsor, we are here. Visit our webisite  Children's World of Music.org to find out more about us. Thank you in advance. God Bless.

10 Things To Do When People Disappoint You

Recently, I became disappointed in some some folks, I know, big surprise right? After all, that's what folks do most often. It's an inevitable part of the human experience. While I was still licking my wounds,  I came across an article on CBSNews.com written by Mark Jaffe (Feel free to read the entire article by following the link)  It made laugh and I recognized which one I used. As you read through them, think about which one(s) you use and which ones you recognize in others.

1. Throw a tantrum. Sometimes people don't fathom how serious the situation is, or how badly they've failed you...until you scream loudly. Forget abstractions. Show them in real time by acting out your rage and sense of betrayal. They'll thank you for the clarity! Don't forget to hurl a few extra-spicy epithets while you're at it. Preparation and rehearsal are key to successful execution. Practice in front of a mirror or a friend, if you have one. For me, after reading this article, I did #10

2. Pout. Perhaps you were told otherwise as a child, but most folks really love this. It's adorable...and effective! Just pretend that you're Mommy's little prince or Daddy's little princess and see what happens. You can be angry without having to justify yourself or even admit to any feelings at all. No one gets their wishes met more quickly than the pouter. Stay the course and they'll eventually come around.

3. Condescend. Another time-honored strategy that will have your intended recipient dizzy with contrition. Superior is good; haughty is even better. Speak to the person as if they were mentally impaired. Ask for explanations and then respond by saying, "I don't understand. Can you explain it again?" Interrupt whenever possible. Make 'em squirm, back 'em up against the wall and squish 'em like helpless bugs. Then see how hard they try to win back your respect.

4. Get even. Warm or cold, revenge is a delicious treat. Cook up a batch and watch the remorse eat away at your tormentor. There are so many different ways to inflict pain and humiliate...tantalizing choices all. You can punish your victim in secret or out in the open for everyone to see. Experiment and have fun with it!

5. Criticize. Whether it's directly to someone's face or behind their back, this classic response will never go out of style. The more ridiculous they look, the more vindication you'll feel. Brush up on the insults and let them fly.

6. Get stoned. Have a drink, smoke, snort or capsule. Numb those frazzled nerve endings and simply dull the pain. No one appreciates you anyway, right?

7. Pontificate and intellectualize. It doesn't matter what you say. What matters is that you can define everything on your own terms. Keep talking until their ears bleed.

8. Ignore them. A personal favorite of mine, nothing sends a clear message like putting on the big chill. If you don't acknowledge someone, they cease to exist. Problem solved!

9. Keep your head down and do your job. No commentary required. That's life.

10. Get over it.

So Much To Be Done... and Time Marches ON

Wow, February 11, 2015 already! It seems like just yesterday it was Christmas. Time is really moving and I have so much to do and so many decisions to make, that may head is spinning.

First, I have got to secure some grants so i can move on to the next stage for Children's World of Music. It is very important to my spirit and well-being that this organization flourish. I will need to give up my Nursing career entirely, due to my circumstances beyond my control. This is going to become my main employment venture because it will do work that will be good for my soul. I have always felt the need to help others and I think helping Children is the best way to do this. I want to have a safe place for Children to feel safe and secure enough to investigate their desires and allow us to help them make dreams come true, one note at a time. Any support given to us in this endeavor will be greatly appreciated.

We are in the planning stages for a couple of fundraising activity, the first to be held in the spring. Details as they become available. Thanks to all who have agreed to aid us.

Secondly, I have to make WDGP Radio be profitable again. This is something I need freedom from my current job to do. I want to re-launch or music download site as soon as possible. The music and the Artists are great, but we need more businesses to support via buying advertising on the station. If you are a small or home based business, please check out rates at WDGP .We are outstanding for USA based business and also great for any  business with an international reach.

I thank God everyday for the vision I have, I know He will make it bigger than I can imagine. I am excited, optimistic, hopeful and yes there is some apprehension. However, I will not be stopped.I am ready to move my feet.

Change

I wonder why we are as a species are so afraid of change. I know that change is not always a positive thing in our eyes, but I think we should strive to change our point of view. It has been my experience that each time a change has occurred in my life, it has actually been a very good thing. I guess today's Blogtalk show got me to thinking about this because the show did not go the way I had planned it but I think it still came out alright in the end, and those who listen to the archived show will have the benefit of something extra since Bruce Black was gracious enough to allow me to interview him after the hour was up. (I won't mention that it was mostly due to his being late. LOL) I hope you'll take a listen here. As I said I think it came out ok and I'd love to get your opinion. Leave a comment on the show page. Thanks. The show wasn't about change actually it was to showcase the talent of some of my network members (visit the network here) Jo Tongo from Camaroon west Africa, who currently resides in France. (how about that, isn't the Internet wonderful?), Bruce Black and Glenn Gordon. In the end Glenn didn't make the show at all and I only hope he's alright since I have still not been able to reach him. He's a very talented Brother and I hope to get him rescheduled soon. Getting back to my thoughts, Yes change can be a good thing and should never be feared. I won't say that I welcome change but I don't fear it either. I like to try new things. When I do I keep hold of the things I enjoy and let the others die a natural death. If I hadn't embraced change I wouldn't be in this positive place in my life. My good friend, Sylver has challenged me to come out of my comfort zone once again. So I will accept this newest challenge because I know nothing beats a failure but a try (more on this new challenge later). I trust God to guide my steps and I am not afraid to move my feet. God has provided us with this big old universe and I feel obliged to explore and conquer as much of it as I can while I am able, so Change...bring it on. I'm ready.
