Evolve....Eventually....

I use to look at this stuff, and say "Ewww"...Nasty"...Who wants that crap besides, Popeye. Now I eat this stuff everyday...Yes, I said, Errrday. I love it. It has grown on me, and I realize, its good for me. It's funny, my mom at one time had an iron deficiency, and I felt I had it as well. They say, spinach is a great source of Iron. I just decided to try spinach instead of lettuce in making a salad one day recently. I simply add toasted coconut, almonds, and some crispy onions with an organic pomegranate salad dressing and I fell in love. When I'm at work, sometimes I'll go to a sub shop for lunch, and they don't even ask me what I want, they start making my spinach salad before I say a word...haha! I would have never known I would grow to like it, if I wasn't open to try it. I have been listening to some deep motivational meditations lately, and its funny how I attracted and desired something, that I needed. However, I was not a fan of spinach before, at all. If you would have asked me about ten years ago if I would have had spinach salads everyday, I would have laughed in your face. You never know the things around you that you may overlook, only to all of a sudden, find out, those things that we don't like today, could be something that we eventually evolve into loving. Until Next Time, D.

Take It........

Grab it...go for yours...Reach beyond. When you breathe in that energy, everything opens up. Take it higher. Everything around you will respond. It has no choice. You are the master of your own destiny. I needed to get my tires changed today and listened to one of the men that worked at the store. He had big dreams of opening his own place and I smiled because you could feel his excitement and enthusiasm within every syllable he spoke. I'm not sure what it was, but he wanted to open up and talk to me, so I listened. There is so much power in words, and the things you say to yourself. His face came alive when he described how he wanted to open his own business. Something that resonated with me as I listened was when he stated, "i've been told you have one life and I have to take my chance. The chance is there, but I must take the first step. The first step is difficult and scary in many situations, but as long as we have life, the chance is there. Doubt and fear do nothing to move us forward in our goals, desires, hopes and dreams. When we reach beyond the fear and doubt and move into a place of courage, you can dance to the rhythm of your own drum. Dance baby, dance....Take it, and know that whatever you want, is already yours...:-) Until next time, Peace. D.

Aww Shucks!! Peas and Collard greens....

on New Years Day! I feel it. I sense it. New ideas, creativity, and drive are all on the horizon for the New Year. It's gonna be a great year! The old saying goes, if you eat collards, more money, if you eat black eyed peas, great luck to you. I had both served to me today so I must be one of the luckiest, wealthiest aliens on the planet:-)

I'm believing it and It feels great coming from my lips. I'd rather hear myself say those words, than believe anything else.:-) 2012 was a great year for me, I met some wonderful people last year of whom were brought into my path for a reason. Some of those reasons I think are still yet unfolding:-) I feel like there was a lot of creativeness within and it all will show its beautiful purpose in the New Year. I ended the year and began the year doing something I love which is playing some fun music with some great musicians. It was a gig that I learned so much from and it was a sign to me, that is one of the things I can look forward to within the New Year. These were very seasoned musicians and I was honored just to be around their wealth of knowledge. I learn so much and feel connected to seasoned souls:-) I walked in the door around 3:30 a.m. after my gig, and reflected on all the things I accomplished in 2012. I began to smile and thought about all the wonderful possibilities of peace, happiness, and joy awaiting each of us in 2013. The ball is in your court. All you have to do is take the shot. Go for it and embrace all the new endeavors, love, and blessings headed your way. I'm not afraid of the "13" at all, it is just the beginning of all the new wonderful possibilities that await each of us. Well, off to unloading gear gadgets from a gig:-) Until next time, Peace. D.

"Thank You".....

"Thank You". I think those two words cried out within me this past year. Sometimes I would just drive down the road and cry. Don't know why. It just happened. Maybe, I was somewhat overwhelmed. I just felt so thankful to be alive, just to breathe, just to create, just to have a chance. "Newness" has been a word that has been in my conscious a lot lately. Newness in life, love, dreams, actions, and becoming closer to the spirit within. Learning, growing, and feeling, a "newness" is open and available to you. My spirit within has been excited about it. A voice keeps saying to me, "All you have to do, is be open and available to it. Whatever, that newness is, I know, "its all good". I also know, you can think things into your life. An example was today, I was at work, and for some reason I was thinking about guns. After all the terrible tragedies that have happened recently with guns, I thought, I know it, someone is going to walk into this store with a gun. No later than ten minutes, it happened. Someone walked into the store with a gun. However, it was a police officer. Funny huh? I know. I realized at that moment, throughout the chaos, I am going to be okay. However thoughts are powerful. I realized when I saw the officer walk in, you are meant to be protected, you flow in peace, you will be and are safe. Walk in your newness, be open to it, create in it. It will move in a spirit of peace and love. No matter where you are, those are two things that are always available and open to you. Give Love and peace, and it will surround you always.

Randomness....Alien lover

I've always wondered why I was so different, why I never fit in with the so called "norm", and why I've had a deep connection to music creation. One reason. An alien abducted me and took me to the moon. Yes, its true. I totally feel that I've seen the moon, and now there is a glow within that just can't stop . I at times feel as though there is something extremely extraterrestrial about myself. An alien would probably feel extremely attracted and drawn to me. It's cool to have this feeling though because I know I'm not the only alien on Earth. There are more of us out there. I've been in tune with my essence lately and its speaking loud and clear. It says, you are not suppose to fit in. Never have, never will. But remember, you are not alone. There are some pretty major and important things you will create and do while you are here so just enjoy the ride. Now I know more than ever, my love connection shall be with.....an alien. Until next time, Peace D.

Mas Love, Joy, Peace, and Green Leafy Veggies....

Hey there! Signing in on some randomness...I just had to share this amazing feeling. I decided to decorate my un poco casa with some holiday cheer. I put up my teeny tiny christmas tree, lights, snowman wreath and decorative stuff door hangers to get in the spirit. It was something about the process of decorating and putting everything together. It feels great! I feel more peace, joy, and cheer around the house. I even got a lil cup as you can see that has the character of the holiday with peace, love, joy, and faith, all decorated with festive designs. I am still working on new music, recording, working, and still dreaming as I create. I've been trying out eating more green leafy vegetables lately and less meat and what an awesome feeling! The cabbages, turnips, collards, and broccoli, you see in the pics were all grown from the hands of the "green man", my Dad. He produced some of the most beautiful plants this year. He passed turnips, collards, and cabbages out this year to so many people and they all talked about how awesome they were. I learn so much from him. The spirit of giving is in him, and when you can give from your heart, you are receiving more than you know.:-) He's an awesome and funny dude.

I'm a new auntie. Babies are such a gift. It is amazing how two people can create something so precious. Life! My nephew was born Dec. 7, 2012. It's funny how my mom said I weighed an ounce more than him and he was suppose to be born around Christmas. I guess he couldn't wait! I'm working on choosing visuals for the album. I also found out, "Hooked" was chosen on a mix compilation for Soulbounce. Go to http://www.soulbounce.com/soul to check it out! I hope you are enjoying this season. Mas love, joy, peace, happiness, and faith to ya. Yes, i'm playing around with putting together a picture book now. I'll leave you with this one excerpt I wrote in my pic book. "Love." Transforms so many things. I would rather be on the endless upbound stream of its current, riding the wave." Until next time, Peace D.

Drea New Music!!! "Come To Me"......:-)

New Music.....

Finally...I decided to release this creativity...I talk about it so much and am happy to share it. You can check out my new single at www.jango.com/music/Drea. It will also be available for purchase at www.cdbaby.com/drea73. The song is pretty much a flow that I was feeling one night up late vibing. The music always seem to come to me first. Once I had the feel, I just let my creative flow do the rest. Music just gives me such a boost when I'm creating and I'm just glad it chose me as a creator. Well off to do some more creating and hope you enjoy the listen. Until next time, Peace.
