Cannes Film Festival, Book Clubs and Chocolate

I had to share this video with you in case you haven't had the chance to see it yet. Why? Because it was the single most exciting thing to happen so far this month. I mean, when the producer who's optioned your book to be made into a motion picture, gives you a shout-out during the Cannes festival...that's bound to elevate the heart rate a little, right?!

Was it the most exciting thing to happen with my writing career to date, you ask? Not really. "But it's a MOVIE DEAL," I hear you shouting and madly waving your arms. "What could be more exciting than that?" It's a hard one to top, I'll give you that.

My favorite moment of being an author so far?  Wow, tough question. There have been a million heart-stopping fabulous moments in this journey so far from my first book contract to seeing the cover art, to selling the film rights. And I know there will be a ton more to come. But nothing quite compares to sitting at a table in the back of my favourite bookstore, with a group of amazing young women who chose Fire & Ice for their book club selection.

Listening to the passion and excitement about the characters...characters I created, characters I lived and breathed and thought I understood inside out. Then coming to realize from their unfiltered, tell-it-like-it-is, two hour plus steady stream of thoughts, opinions and feelings, that they had lived and breathed those characters also.  They proved with the clear conviction and authority that only girls who are consumed by a story can convey, that they quite probably knew those characters even better than I did. They most certainly loved, hated and were as equally invested in how their stories unfolded as I was.

Now that moment, was incredibly surreal.

...Plus, there was chocolate! For those of you just tuning in...I adore chocolate.

The only thing that could possibly top that would be eating chocolate at a teen book club....in Scotland, or Ireland....while filming Fire & Ice....and writing the next installment in the saga that's proving to be much longer than the originally planned trilogy! ;)  Now that will really get my heart racing!

Hope your days, months, weeks and years are filled with things that make your heart beat a little faster!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Just a very quick little post to wish you and yours 

a very magical holiday season!!! 

I'm looking forward to 2015 and I hope you are too! ;)

May all of your dreams come true now and into the future! 

With hugs & hearts,

Michele

Shaking the January Blues

Christmas is wonderful.

January... not so much.

For me it's typically a time to get cozy and hibernate, doing lots of writing and sculpting and whatever other creative pursuits catch my attention. While finished off the edits for Bittersweet (I know, I've been promising its release for ages it seems, and it it is coming soon, honest) and revising an New Adult series called Daring Magic, I've been looking and watching for little things that come along to brighten the winter blahs. Tons of snow and super cold, that's been our winter so far. Short of a trip south, I've had to get creative with the things that bring me joy and add a little sunshine. Here are a few things I've stumbled upon along the way:

Receiving a shipment of my book in paperback: Very exciting!

The first person I've seen holding a paperback version of my book Fire & Ice. Sooo exciting to get that photo!

An awesome fan video for Fire & Ice made by the incredible Natasha Vahora who also helps manage my Facebook fan page! :)

Okay, what else... well there's the collaboration with a company exploring the possibility of producing a toy line with my doll sculptures.... very exciting!

And some other potentially SUPER-exciting news, that I can't share with the world just yet. ;)

Winning a contest to submit my latest manuscript to Entangled Publishing! Whoot whoot!

Rocking a new hair style that everyone compliments me on. :) Love that!

Hiring a personal assistant to help take care of some of the social media tasks for me. Someone to manage my Facebook street team... Golden! Thanks so much Sheri Vidal from Author Accomplice!

Somedays its as simple as having my hubby or son surprise me with a latte in the mornings.

Or receiving a lovely note or positive review from a satisfied reader.

I guess the point is that there are little gifts to make us smile all around if we're willing to look for them. So now it's your turn... tell me, what are you looking for to brighten your day or that makes you smile? No winter blues to deal with, all the better... you get to find things just for the sheer delight of it! 

I guarantee that by the mere act of looking, you're sure to find!

Here's to shaking the January blues.

Happy hunting everyone!
xo

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Wishing you all many joys of the season! 

It was been a fabulous year for me, for which I am extremely grateful, and I hope it has for you as well. I wish you all a magical holiday season, and a very Happy Christmas and all of the joy, love, blessing & abundance for the coming new year!!!

Exciting news is coming in 2014, so stay tuned. New novels, new sculpting projects, new tutorials, new collaborations, and many more fun and exciting things to share with you. (shhhh... they're all still top secret for now, promise I'll fill you in as soon as I can! ;) ) 

Thank you all so much for all that you do!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

love,
Michele

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy 2013! It's been a while since my last post, but what better time for a new one than with the coming of a new year! There is a quiet excitement for me over this new year, a soft gentle anticipation of wonderful things unfolding. But aside from all of the fantastic "BIG" things happening, there are glimpses and glimmers of even "BETTER" things. Things I find myself grateful for all over again. Snowfalls. Lattes. Cozy pj's. And best of all, the experience of watching a 12 year old girl fall in love with my novel. There is nothing quite like that feeling. She discovered a copy of it on a table at my parent's house during a family dinner. From the moment she picked it up, the book did not leave her hands all evening. From 3pm until 10pm she read, in between chatting, eating, hanging with the other kids, playing three rounds of bingo... through and between it all, she read, literally unable (or at least unwilling) to put the book down. Wow. Now that was exciting for me to see! She read 15 chapters and when it was time to leave you could see the agony in her eyes. Since the book has not yet been published, this was her only chance to finished. I think had my mother not agreed to lend her the copy, she might have camped out over night in order to finished the remaining 23 chapters!
It was a lovely sight to behold, watching before my eyes, the delight and fascination of someone so fully enthralled with something I had a part in creating. Watching her get excited at the parts I got excited over, and frustrated, upset and worried in all the right places, turning page after page, with a need to know what woudl happen next. How does it get any better than that?
She came over to me after a few hours and said with a note of seriousness and sincerity, "So far, I would rate this book as an 11 out of 10." Pretty impressive score if I do say so myself. She's anxious to finish and to read the second book and the third, which has yet to be created. But if ever I was in need of external motivation, I found it last night in the eyes of that young reader, who in the midst of a crowd of noise, laughter and merriment, hungrily flipped page after page to find out what would happened next!

 

Happy New Year!
May yours be shiny and bright, and filled with dreams fulfilled!

Blog-Hopping on a Sunday

The Next Big Thing Blog Hop

Nothing like having to prepare for visitors at the last minute!! Today, I got the message... people will be stopping by, get your blog updated. Sure. No problem, I thought. I just updated it.... uhm... when was the last time?  I was tagged me in a blog hop, and sent an email saying "hey there, I tagged you, people will be coming to visit". Ok, awesome. I mean it's an honor just to be chosen. New to-do list: Drop everything. Update blog!  Thank you Riley Darkes for that. ;)

What to blog about? Well one of two things. My writing or my sculpting. My passions. This month has been almost singularly devoted to writing, given it's NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Sucker for punishment I can be, I signed up to write 2000 words a day every -day in the month of November, for Entangled Publishing's "Smack Down" event at Savvy Authors. Woosh what a wild ride it's been so far. I've impressed myself and on most days...writing even while over exhausted and bleary eyed. Even put in a day of 6500 words! Now I'm hoping to top that and reward myself with a viewing of Breaking Dawn. And some chocolate. Who am I kidding, I'm going to see it whether I write another word today or not. :) Same goes for the chocolate.

So for the guests who may do me the honor of swinging by, let me share with you a little info about my new WIP for this writing bookcamp extravaganza. 

Want more details about the awesomeness that is Savvy Authors.com, check it out here!

What is your working title of your book?

Acid Raine

Where did the idea come from for the book?

I spent the summer with a highschool friend following DuranDuran on tour. Ok, so we onky went to 3 concerts, but they took us from our cozy hamlet in Canada to exotic locals like NY New York, and Biloxi Mississippi! Anyway, the idea for this story sprang from those concerts and our eternal fixation with the band members. I mean John Taylor... Simon LeBon... need I say more. (Note to my hubby: you totally trump them all baby). 

What genre does your book fall under?

Paranormal Romance / Urban Fantasy

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

I'm horrible with actor's names, so I'll have to do some research there. But in the meantime, here are some photos of what I imagine the main characters look like.

Heroine: Skylar Peyton
Age 22 -first year med student at Oxford University,
-plucky, impulsive, outspoken

 ____________________________________________________________

Hero: Raine Mauler (changed at 28 years old- actually over a century): Demon, Rock star, lead singer of smash group Acid Raine
-dark, soulful, brooding, sexy

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

A 22 year old med student plans to lose her virginity to the lead singer of her favorite rock band, to honor a bucket-list promise to her deceased best friend. But after falling for sexy lead singer, she notices a string of paranormal events surrounding the band. She discovers they were involved with her friend’s death, and might be plotting hers.... Yes, I do realize this was actually 3 sentences.

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

Represented by an agency... or I should say my uber fabulous agent extraordinaire!!

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

It's still in progress... the plan is it will take 30 days... or however many days November has. How does that rhyme go again... 30 days hath September...

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

Wow, that's a tough one becasue there are elements and aspects I see from a variety of other books. It's a paranormal love story with the classic angst of forbidden love

Who or what inspired you to write this book?

Losing a good friend from high school very suddenly and way too young, prompted my summer of Duran Duran. Seeing them (and Prince) in concert had been on my bucket list forever. You have to make NOW the right time I've decided. Why wait. So I jumped into the story and the 30 day challenge of NaNo.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

This isn't your typical predictable paranormal love story... there are some unexpected twists planned for these characters which will change their lives in ways no one could have imagined. At least that's the plan so far!

Manifesting Money!$!

Hello All of you lucky people, how are your manifesting (or rather actualizing) skills? I've been playing with honing mine. The month of August is a month of travel for me, with lots of amazing destinations I can't wait to get to. It seemed like a fun idea to me to manifest some additional cash to take along on these fab trips. So I'm playing the money manifestation game from The Lucky Bitch, Denise Duffield-Thomas. If you don't know her you should, if attracting luck and success means anything to you and you could use more of it in your life.

Here's the idea: Let's just see how much extra money I can generate using the wonderful rules of the law of attraction. I mean I love shopping. shopping loves me, so why couldn't I use a little more? People are often so hesitant about going after money, they use words like abundance and prosperity and such, as if money was a dirty word. Well, I supposed for many it is, otherwise expressions like "filthy rich" and "dirty money" would never have come into being. I love money and I enjoy the wonderful and great things one can do with it, and I believe there is plenty for all.

So, as part of a 10 day quickie manifestation series I've been playing with from Denise Duffield-Thomas, I'm on day 4 and making a public declaration of my intention to manifest an additional $6000.00 or more for my travels and fun this month. How does it get any better than that?What are the infinite possibilities of that showing up for me this month? I'm very excited to see what shows us. So far things have been expanding in ways I couldn't even have imagined, and its only day 4!! What else is possible?

Have fun creating magic in your world today and everyday! I'm always blown away by the genererosities of the universe when one has the faith to ask, beleive and receive. And I'll update on the progress of my money manifestation experiment!

Sculpting In Polymer Clay

For me summertime is sculpting time. Maybe its becasue the clay is so warm and malleable in the balmy summer heat, or maybe it's just the extra long hours of natural daylight... who know, but I just love to dive into my clay with reckless abandon in the summer. So becasue of this, I have a very special offer for you.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to sculpt a figure in polymer clay? Well, my Sculpting Santa book has just recently been listed on Amazon. And better still it's now available on eBay.com for a limited time at an even better price. Shhhh, not supposed to do that, but it will stay our little secret. Now this book has been written in step by step bite sized bits of information walking you through the entire process so you're assured of success right from the start. Ok, so a little practice never hurt anyone, but if you've ever wanted to try it and were afraid of not succeeding, here is a really great jumping off place.

Check it out and then if you buy and try it, I'd love to see what you create. This is the process for sculpting and creating the look of age in your piece.... where a Santa, a wizard, a fairy god-mother or whatever strikes your fancy, this book will help you get there. I'm always here for additional help, suggestions and inspiration. And if you just need a cheerleader, I can do that too! So why not go for it, and see what happens. And for those of you anxiously awaiting the fairy sculpting book, the miniature clay food book and the ball-jointed doll book, I promise you they're all coming. I'm just bouncing between my how-to writing and my fiction writing, plus my doll sculpting and telesummit interview series. So many projects in the works and so little time.... but OH so much fun to be had!!!

Just Believe

Just Believe Movie: Believe in yourself and you can accomplish anything in life.

Dream big.... bigger....and even BIGGER still...

 J.K. Rowling

What If You Dreamed BIGGER?

I had a reading the other day from a psychic who was most definitely picking up on energies that did not belong to me. It became clear this he could not see the massive potential I had and the directions I was heading in. I've mentioned my publishing targets to people and have been greeted with why don't you self publish. And while I know incredible things can and do happen with self-published works and traditionally published works can go nowhere I had an awareness early on that this novel was going to be traditionally published. Had it occurred to this individual to ask if this was my first book they would have learned I'd written 5 other non-fiction books which I'd already successfully self-published. I have very big plans for my fiction books, and it's a delicate balance of knowing and believing in what I desire and being open to the myriad of ways it can come to fruition.

On another occasion, a multi-talented musician/singer/songwriter who has intentions of performing with an internationally know famous band shared her plans with someone and was given the suggestion that she should be satisfied with performing in a local small town bar. Wow.

When I described my sculpting business to another individual, they suggested I sell my wares at a local craft fair. I almost choked on my drink. Really? That was as big a picture as they could conjure? Hmmmm. How interesting. I then follow it up by thinking the for the suggestion and tell them I did the craft show thing previously and was now working with an agent in California who is pitching my designs to companies like Mattel and negotiating hundred and fifty thousand dollar deals....per doll line. --They are stupefied. I say this not just to brag, (though I'm all in favor of tooting your own horn...come on let's own those accomplishments already!) but to hopefully blow open their worlds and their minds to what is possible. If it's possible for me then it's possible for them as well. And hopefully they walk away from the conversation with an expanded awareness of what they too can achieve if they dare to think and then act BIGGER.

It prompted me to wonder and ask why would I (or anyone) want to take advice from someone who's vision is no where near as expanded as my own? Yes, starting anything new for the first time can sometimes mean starting at the bottom or the beginning or even starting small if that's what you choose. But it doesn't mean staying there or making that the thing to aspire to. Go bigger....beyond what you truly think is actually possible for you to accomplish. And then prepare to be amazed.

I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful new Creative Energy Consultant coach, Jessi Jordan. She is someone who is successful in multiple industries and she has vision and passion and knows the magic each and everyone one of us can create. She is an accomplished producer in the music industry and also coaches creative people like actors, writers, artists into massive success. Here is a quote from her which totally sums up why I'm choosing to work with her, (aside from the fact that she is is amazing!!!)

 "I never take advice from someone who plays it safe or sits on the sidelines in their own life."
- Jessi Jordan

 Need I say more............

Doing Something Different

What would be fun and different for you today? I've been asking that question a lot lately and have come up with some amazing realizations. Firstly how odd it is to even ask a question like that. Usually we focus on what needs to be done, the things that are demanding our immediate attention. And maybe after all of those have been completed and we have a moment or weekend to spare,  perhaps then we will look at what might be fun. My son got on board with this and decided to spend 12 hours getting dreadlocks put into his hair. |They look awesome and he loves them,but it was a huge leap for him. And oh so cute I might add!!

Then my husband tried it and in one moment it was fun for him to purchase the exact motorcycle that he had loved as a teenager. He had magazines and photos of it but couldn't buy it at the time. Well now he has and he goes riding whenever the mood strikes. More joy in his life opens up more possibilities and more space for more joy. Cool huh!?

So what if in every moment of every day we asked that question and let the awareness come up? How would your life be different? What interesting new directions could that lead you in. I challenge you to try it. I have and while those things that demand my attention have lessened, they haven't disappeared, but they have morphed into things that I feel I am now choosing to do instead of feeling as thought they were things I was obligated to do. And where there is choice there is freedom. And things just start magically opening up to more. I have more writing time now than even before.l I have more money flows that ever before. Wonderful exciting things continue to transpire as I keep asking this question. Try it for a while and let me know what changes for you?

I'm going to keep playing and see what other magical things actualize for me!

Planning the Most Amazing Home

 In the house I no longer refer to as my "dream" home since that somehow made it seem like it was far off and impossible to attain, I decided after watching the Harry Potter films (Pottermore is sure to become my next addiction...I just pretend it's my son Ryan who loves playing there) that I wanted an enchanted ceiling in my bedroom. I knew there had to be a way to make it happen. I put it out there and then let it go. Here we are a couple of years later and voila I stumble across this video, compliments of my Pintrest addiction. How amazing is that...totally do-it-yourselfable which I LOVE and creates a stunning effect. I picture it with my bedroom painted in midnight blue with a subtle nebula trompe l'oeil ceiling.

So as I sit here ooohing and aaahing, drooling and scheming, planning and preparing, I thought I'd share this wonderful creation with you. See what happens when you first just imagine it can!? What else is possible??? Remind me to tell you the story of how my good friend Mirta and I scored second row center seats to an upcoming Duran Duran concert!! How can you not adore magic!?

I

The BEING Telesummit

Well, it's been quite an amazing couple of weeks. Glorious spring weather which followed an almost non-existent winter. Emotional highs and lows and everything in-between. Loads of writing, and releasing judgements about my writing. What I've learned and discovered and awoken to could fill a lifetime of blog posts. Don't worry I'll spare you the details. Suffice to say that since discovering the Access Consciousness techniques of being in question about all areas of my life...well, all areas of my life and have expanded and grown in a very dynamic way.

We have a new site at www.BeingSeries.com where the recordings of the interviews we conducted can be purchased and downloaded. Aside fro that I'm not sure what more to share. Except perhaps that you really have to experience it for yourself. It has brought an incredible new dimension to my writing, to my sculpting, to my business to my money flows and to my life! How does it get better than that? Every day I wake up and ask "What else is possible?" excited to see what comes along next!

So what's next for you???

LIAM PHILLIPS - founder of Curing the Incurable

Wednesday, March 14th 7pmEDT (4pmPDT), (9amEDT, Thursday March 15th)

• Are you suffering mental, emotional or physical pain?
• Are you seeking something else to add to your life?
• What if you didn’t have to go to the brink to find the change you are seeking?
• Would you like to make changes with your body and life with ease?
• Is now the time for you to BE YOU and change the world?

Liam Phillips created “CURING THE INCURABLE” after battling a terminal disease where he suffered terrible emotional, physical and mental pain. Knowing in his heart there must be another way, he set out to search the world for tools to ease this, or die trying!During his search he tried many conventional medical practices and sold one answer, surgery was required in order to overcome this disease, but it would only alleviate the disease for short periods. Unhappy with this answer, Liam experimented with alternative diets, medicine, meditation, and other self help methods. Although these offered some relief and slowed the process of disease down occasionally, he did not find the long term relief he sought.But Liam did not give up hope. Weighing less than 40kg he found something different that changed his body and life. Access  Consciousness. What he learned from this new modality, simple tools and body processes, he added to his life and his disease ravaged body began to make changes easily and quickly. In one month things had changed dynamically, and after three months his first book “Curing the Incurable” was written.In the past four years Liam has worked effortlessly talking to thousands of people who are also seeking something different, passing on these tools to empower people to choose the changes they seek.

SUZY GODSEY - The High Heeled Dog Walker

 

 Thursday, March 15th – 7pmEDT (4pmPDT)

• What would you like to know about your animal?
• Would you like to learn some of the tools Suzy uses with animals around the world?
• What else is possible for the relationship between you and your pet?

 

Suzy is an Access Conscious Facilitor for Animals and their owners. She travels the world facilitating people and their animals to have more connection and understanding. She is sought out for her remarkable talent to assist animals of all kinds including: dogs, cats, horses and non-domestic wildlife.

 

Suzy and DOGS: Suzy grew up in Germany in an apartment that did not allow dogs. So she had imaginary dogs she “walked” in the neighborhood. They all had names, which she called out loud, often raising eyebrows of passerby’s. When she was about 12 her first real dog came into her life, which turned out to be a large, aggressive dog, which made Suzy aware that most “problems” around dogs are created by the people they live with.

Later in life, she became a dog walker and had occasions of walking over 20 dogs at a time … off-leash! This exponentially contributed to her knowledge of dog behavior, and most of what she learned, she learned from the dogs! Since then Suzy has been using her abilities to help dogs everywhere. She’s made an appearance on Cesar Milan’s “Dog Whisperer” television show and has her own radio show, “Conversations with Dog” on BlogTalkRadio.

Suzy and HORSES: Suzy co-developed ESSE, the Energetic Synthesis of Structural Embodiment, as a tool for people to bring more joy and comfort to their horses. This technique combines the body energy processes of Access Consciousness™ with equine rolfing techniques. Suzy has facilitated stunning changes in horses she’s worked with and enjoys teaching this technique for others to use with their own horses.

Everyone should get a psychic reading....seriously!!!

Today I had a reading with my favourite psychic....Hans Christian King. From the first moment I listened to his radio program years ago, I was hooked. And I knew he had a direct link to the things about myself that I know but had either forgotten or didn't know I knew. Confused yet? Sorry....but it's not something I can explain without going into yards of explanation on quantum physics and the nature of reality. For lack of a better quote at my fingertips, I'll simply say you are what you think you are, and leave it at that.

But suffice to say, my first ever personal reading with Hans exceeded even my wildest expectations. I've had the opportunity to converse with him on his weekly show where members can send in one question and receive the answer on air. That in itself is wroth it's weight in gold, with every single answer begin spot on or delivering the information, perspective or reassurance i needed to move confidently through whatever issue or project was before me.

So I had great expectations for my 30 minute call with Hans. I felt like a kid at Christmas when the telephone rang right on time. And we delved into the issues I wondered about, worried about or felt were blocking me on my path. At the end of it all I left with a renewed enlightenment and awakened enthusiasm for what is to come. I cannot recommend him highly enough!!!

 

If writing were sexual (and who says it isn’t)…

This is simply a fabulous post by Cara Bristol! It sums up the writing process perfectly.... all the while drawing a fabulous and oh-so-true comparison it to sex! PERFECT! Go read it. No, seriously.... go read it like right now!

If writing were sexual (and who says it isn’t)…

Just Do It!

Is there something you've always wanted to do? Something deep in your heart that you'd love to try, follow, pursue, if only _______________ (Fill in the blank with said lame excuse). I asked myself that question the other day. Then while writing a dance sequence for my latest manuscript, (and struggling with the challenge of putting dance moves into compelling words) I decided to watch the movie Dirty Dancing (Patrick Swayzee and Jennifer Grey).... and it hit me like the proverbial bolt of lightning...... dance!

I want to dance. But not just any dance.... (having already taken Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, and Hyland...ask my mother about that one, I was only 4) I want to learn to Tango, Salsa, Merengue, Rumba! All of those sexy sultry up-close-and-personal Latin dances....heck, I'd sign up for Dirty Dancing lessons if they had classes near by. As it is if I want to fulfill my Dirty Dancing fantasy of filling the role of Baby, I'll have to go somewhere like Brazil, or at least the UK to take a class with the dance troope from the stage production of the show.

But I did stumble upon a studio offering a whole host of Latin dance classes....and in case my husband bows out (which I doubt he will.... I mean, come on have you seen these dances!?) And while the idea of being pressed up against some hot young Latin dancer is appealing to most, I'd be more than happy to be pressed up against my own hot husband. But, if he decides not to go...then, hey, I'll adapt and suffer through the hot Latin dance partner... I mean what else is a girl to do!?

 (Yes, very sadly I realize I won't be taking lessons from the late beautiful Patrick Swayze....but I can dream, right)

When you have a burning or even a simmering dream, idea, spark.... I think you owe it to yourself to see it through. At least give in to it once and see where it leads. I've had lots of those moment that became duds faster than you can say refund please...but there have also been some that took hold and anchored themselves in my heart....becoming a  piece of me....like writing. So what sparks are you holding that you've never tried for this reason or that. I invite you to set aside the reasons....whatever they may be. Where there's a will there's  a way and when would now be the perfect time to follow through?!

Go for it, at the very least you'll have an interesting story to tell....like my pole dancing classes (don't ask... suffice to say it's way harder than it looks & I have a great deal more respect for those dancers whose routines invovle a pole )

And at the most, you'll come away with a newly formed passion.... dare to dream and dream BIG!

Winter Magic!

December has been a magical month for me. It always is, but this year even more so. And it reminds me that magic can happen anytime for anyone anywhere! Just look for it, open your heart to it and you will find it! I truly believe that.

I had the opportunity to be featured in a music video! No, no, don't worry, I won't be doing any actually singing (yes I can hear your collective sighs of relief!) but I did get to do a little lipsynching and grooving.But mostly it was just a huge amount of fun! I really enjoyed myself.

My mother, who is an beautiful statuesque woman was signed with a modelling agency when she took my two nieces to sign up. She wasn't the least bit interest,but joined for fun and low & behold,s he is the one who gets most of the bookings. So on this occasion, we all went to the shoot with her  and we were all asked to participate in the video. It was by an artist named Shad; I wasn't familiar with him, but his music is great! I loved the new release we performed to: Keep Shining (link is to listen to song on youtube....video not uploaded yet).

Anyway, we got to do hair, makeup wardrobe the works....it was fun begin a star for the day! And the other women there were amazing. The video was about honoring celebrating and empowering women....and so it only featured women. There was a room full of maybe 60 females from 5yrs of age to 80, in every nationality, style and look. There is a special kind of energy created when a group of women come together.  Some were professionals (singers, actors, models, dancers) and others were like me just there for the ride. But the whole day was an incredible high energy fun experience! I'd do it again in a heart beat!

So OK, if I'm brave, after it's published I'll post the video here.
And I invite you to step out into the world (mine is a winter wonderland right now) and embrace the magic in your life! Write to me and tell me what happens!
