COLORED

I JUST WATCHED THE FILM "FOR COLORED GIRLS". ALL I CAN SAY IS I AM DEEPLY MOVED BY THE POETRY IN THE FILM AS WELL AS THE EQUALLY EXPLOSIVE PERFORMANCE BROUGHT TO LIFE BY ALL THE WOMEN IN THE FILM. DURING SOME SCENES I WAS PHYSICALLY SHAKEN. JUST A SURGE OF EMOTIONS FLOWING THRU ME ALL AT ONCE. ALL THIS FROM A MOVIE BASED ON POETRY BY NTOZAKE SHANGE. TO CAPTURE THE HEARTS AND FEELINGS AND TRANSCRIBE THEM INTO POEMS IS REMARKABLE. THE TRUE ESSENCE OF WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL WHEN THEY READ MY POETRY.  I AM MORE THAN INSPIRED TO GO DEEPER INTO MY THOUGHT'S AND EXPOSE THE TRUE ESSENCE OF BEING.


IN MY POETRY I SHINE LIGHT UPON ALL THE COLORS OF MY PERSONALITY AND RELINQUISH THE MANY LOVELY SHADES OF THE RAINBOW THROUGH MY WORK.  MY NEXT STEP IS MY OWN BOOK. I CANNOT WAIT TO SHINE MY LIGHT AND LET MY BOOK PROJECT IT TO THE MASSES. I AM SO GLAD I QUIT SITTING AROUND WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. THRILLED THAT I STEPPED UP AND AM MAKING IT HAPPEN;-)

IT'S OFFICIAL

I HAVE GREAT NEWS TO SHARE TODAY!!!  A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO I SENT IN SOME OF MY POETRY TO BE INCLUDED IN A GAY CHICANO POETRY ANTHOLOGY.  TODAY I RECEIVED WORD THAT THREE OF MY SUBMISSIONS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE ANTHOLOGY. IT'S OFFICIAL PEOPLE I AM NOW A PUBLISHED AUTHOR/WRITER. THIS IS SUCH JOYOUS NEWS TO RECEIVE. I MEAN BECOMING A WRITER HAS ALWAY'S BEEN A DREAM OF MINE,  A DREAM I ACCOMPLISHED. NOW I AM EVEN MORE MOTIVATED TO WRITE MY OWN BOOK. I KNOW I HAVE THE WILL AND POWER IN ME TO MAKE THAT DREAM COME TO LIFE AS WELL. I  ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF IN THE LITERARY WORLD. NOW I JUST HAVE TO CONTINUE ON THIS TREK AND BE THE BEST AT WHAT I DO. I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT IN MY LIFE. I JUST WANT TO RADIATE THAT LOVE AND SUPPORT TO THE WORLD. MY MAIN GOAL IS TO INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION OF WRITERS AND CREATIVE PEOPLE. NOW I FEEL I CAN CONQUER ANYTHING AND MAKE SOMETHING WORTHY OF ALL MY HARDSHIPS. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER ENCOURAGED MY TALENTS AND ART. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME. AND TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE DREAMS, TRUST ME THEY DO COME TRUE! BECOME YOUR DREAM;-)

CLOSER

Since my last entry I had finished writing my BIO for the Poetry Compilation. I was overcome with tear's after reading it. I could not believe I was reading about my life. Overcoming my past has been ruff road to self discovery. But it's the initial step on healing. I feel so liberated. I began writing new entries for the collection. I feel I can go the extra mile and be more explicit with my thoughts. I am not ashamed of the path I led, that was a part of who I was, not who I am. It's my wild experiences that led me to overcome my fears and help me rid myself of some bad traits I picked up up along the way. I am proof that people can evolve. You can evolve;-)

IT'S MY TURN

Here's the deal. My brain's been feeling so crowded lately that I haven't had the clarity to sit down and put pen to paper. Well here's the situation thus far. I just landed a new job for a marketing firm! I am excited,,,it's downtown on Michigan Ave. and you know I do love being in my beautiful city! I feel this new position will liberate my time and my mind. I feel a great deal of stress lifted off myself already. It's my turn. Ready or not here I come and there is not a damn thing that can stop me now. I have a September 30th deadline to complete 10 full poems plus a Bio on myself, that will hopefully make the cut and be published in a poetry compilation! This is the point where I will find out if I am worthy to be called an author. I am a writer there is no doubt to that. But a published Author is a Dream that I can make a reality sooner than I thought. That's where the nerves set in. I have some previous poems I'd like to include. I feel a little anxiety but it's more of an anxious anxiety. It's finally happening. I have finally come into my own. It's been a wild ride, but I don't regret any of it. I lived, I learned, and I am loving my life! Finally! Sure it's a small step but it's a step that seemed unreachable in my darker days. Now my Dream's are attainable because I have the will, the strength  and the discipline to achieve them. Most of all I believe in me. Belief was the hardest thing to hold onto and to feel fulfillment in. But my belief is was pulled me through and brought me to this breakthrough point in my life. I was always so afraid to do something of value, something I value. I always underestimated my talents. I let people's opinions and words bring me down and I fulfilled their prophecies at times. I learned that I do not have to be a certain way or follow a certain path for anyone else but me. I struggled with so much my entire life. I've let people close to me weight me down with their own issues a top of my heavy baggage. I am responsible for myself and my actions. I wasn't in the right state of mind to deal with any additional trauma. Today I lift those weights off me, I have taken the blindfold off and see the light that shines from within me. My spirit shines, my soul radiates my love. I believe in people, I believe in you, I believe in me and I believe if your going to be anything, be ICONIC;-)

NO H8 VICTORY!!!

I WAS OVERCOME WITH JOY AFTER READING ONLINE TODAY THAT PROPOSITION 8 WAS OVERTURNED BY SAN FRANCISCO U.S. CHIEF DISTRICT JUDGE VAUGHN 
MANY HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES JOINED THE FIGHT FOR EQUALITY ALONG SIDE COMEDIAN KATHY GRIFFIN WHO PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN SUPPORT OF THE GAY COMMUNITY. GRIFFIN USED EVERY AND ANY PLATFORM TO DENOUNCE PROP. 8 AND GET PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE NO H8 CAMPAIGN. WRITER/POET/GAY ACTIVIST EMANUEL XAVIER WHO IS A NATIVE OF N.Y ALSO SUPPORTED THE NO H8 CAMPAIGN. YOU HEAR ECHOES FOR  EQUALITY FOR ALL THROUGHOUT HIS BOOKS AND POETRY. EMANUEL XAVIER HELPED ME DEAL WITH MY OWN SELF ACCEPTANCE AND GAVE ME THE MOTIVATION TO STAND BY NO H8 AS WELL.  EACH ONE OF US UNITED CAN MAKE A CHANGE. AND TODAY'S RULING PROVES THAT FACT TO BE TRUE.

I PLAN TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE FOR EQUALITY AND STAND UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN AND CONTINUE TO HOLD AN ACTIVE ROLE IN AND OUT OF THE GAY COMMUNITY. WE ALL HAVE A VOICE AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK FREELY FOR A GOOD CAUSE. TOGETHER WE KNOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD BUT WE CAN CHANGE OURSELVES TO BETTER THIS WORLD. STRENGHT IN NUMBERS AND WE SHALL WADE IN VICTORY!!!

THERE ARE ALSO MANY CAUSES I STAND CONNECTED AND FEEL VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT. I WILL SHINE A LIGHT UPON WORLD ISSUES. I JUST DON'T WANT TO SAY I'M A PART OF THING'S. I'M GOING TO IMPACT THIS CULTURE BY BEING ACTIVE IN MY BELIEFS. I HAVE A VOICE AND IT WILL BE HEARD. I HOPE YOU WILL SHARE YOUR VOICE WITH ME. JOIN ME ON MY JOURNEY OF LIFE.
