2011: Let's Get Brand New

I'm looking forward to 2011.  I've got some interesting new ideas for the blog, have added Formspring so that readers can send me questions, will beginning some massive marketing soon, and am hoping to begin writing an exclusive story just to be shared here.  (So that when I'm a famous writer, you can tell people you read my REAL first novel...lol)  Much love to all the supporters, and I wish you all success in your lives in this new year.

Let's be amazing!!

Theme Song of the Day, Jan. 2, 2011

Lately, I feel like so many people want to "be" different things, but have no idea why they want to be them.  I don't want to fall in this category, so I've started questioning myself.  Just making sure my mind is right, before I begin to truly pursue my destination.  I remember hearing something that made a lot of sense.  You can't arrive before you're ready to leave.  I want to make sure I'm leaving the right way.

I guess I'm trying to make sure I want to "be" for the right reasons...

Had to include both the intro and full song to this one:



Common --- Be (Intro)

The lyrics in this intro are so thought provoking.  Such a perfect lead in to this song.



Common --- Be

I love that "let me be known" part in the hook....the question is, what is it that you want to be known for?
