So I did this dance video....

And it's here..... I had so much fun with this shoot. Long day but still fun. Thank you Allana for the opportunity and dope as grooves.... One of my favorite routines...Enjoy guys!!!

Concept Video!!!

So, I randomly got asked to do a concept video on Sunday, and it was the most fun that I've had in a long time dancing. I got the call, better yet text, on Saturday night for a 9a calltime Sunday. Thank you sweet baby jesus for my beauty day I had the night before!!!

What began as an, "oh... We'll only be a few hours," turned into an 8-hour day. I'm not complaining or anything I just knew better. Anything performance wise in my book is an all day affair regardless of a given time... I plan to be unavailable ALL DAY. LOL.... Instavideo <--- That's a video from the start of my day.... 

The song used for the concept video is from Iggy Azalea's mixtape Glory... Murda Bizness to be exact. I had no idea how dope Iggy was... Now I know. Thanks Allana I love new music!!! 

Especially tracks I can really dance to...  Below are a few shots of  the site we were on.... I'm sure it looks familiar.I should have the video for you all to see in a few days!!! I can't wait to see it!!!

It's a marathon and not a sprint.

Man that statement is an understatement..... I have been really keeping my head down and my focus forward. Things hadn't been happening in the time frame that I wanted it to, but I kept at it. I have surmounted the recent hurtles and now on the field. I'm in the game!!! I'm ready to play or at least practice... lol... I'm no longer waiting, buying my gear, or planning my practice schedule. I'm actually doing.

I am so excited for the next few weeks I can barely stand it! I have a lot of reasons to celebrate right now, but I want to forge on until I get to my ultimate goal. That's when I will decided to really celebrate. How will I celebrate? I will be booking my own plane ticket and a room for a sexy and exotic island to ... get this... relax. I want to afford a certain lifestyle and I know exactly how to get it. All that opposes me is time.

This is how I see my life in 3 years. This photo says so much my spirit.... To do what I love and afford everything my heart desires. This makes me so happy just looking at this photo. Whatever I envision is that that I create... I need not give examples, but I've got a laundry list of things that I can readily recall. I'm so excited to start on this new journey. Today has been a great day and am excited for the things to come.

Time is ticking away!!!!

I can't help but get ampped up everyday before work walking to my car... I'm thinking, "Man, in just a few days I will gassing up Blu to hit the road for LA." It's really hard for me to just get in my car and drive down the street to work. It really takes a lot out of me to not jump on the highway. I'm so close and whenever I get close to doing/accomplishing something I get restless.... I have no idea why I do this but I do.... I like completing things because I LOVE LOVE LOVE starting new projects. Is that weird?

I mean I get a high off of having and doing new things.... When I purchase new clothes or start planning a new journey I get stupid ampped. It's just the new energy and new ideas I get to create with each new project. The planning process of getting to LA is coming to a close with me being less than 3 weeks out!!! Eek! *passes out* ....... Okay, I'm okay. Now I'm mapping out my game plan for LA..... Nothing is set in stone of course but you have to have some type of plan/focus for that place. I can not wait to have those California rays beaming on my untanned skin..... I plan on catching up on my tan when I get there... :D


These are my thoughts for this morning. I have a feeling I'll be blogging all day. Stay tuned. OH! And don't forget to give whatever you can to my LA Fund <--- that's the link!!! Thanks guys!!!

Some eye candy... ;-)

Getting my life!!!!

So a few weeks ago I was given an amazing opportunity to do a dance photoshoot inspired by the everyday worker. This was so fun and random at the same time.... Here's a few shots from the shoot.

I was giving so much face in this bottom shot.... My eyes though... menacing.... lol... I had a great time in this shoot... I didn't really mind that I got a little wet. Happy Friday!!!!! OH! And don't forget that you can donate to my LA Fund here. Thanks guys!!!

Good morning!!!

I haven't posted in a few days... yep I know. lol.... Slacking?!?!? Not really.

 My life has really picked up as of late because D-day is getting closer and closer. I have a lot going on and am keeping my center so blogging hasn't really been my main agenda.

Where I am right now is making the final decisions on a lot of things. Where I'm going to stay, where I'm going to work, when I'm leaving, when I'm packing, how I'm going to pack, my game plan once I'm there, things that I have to do before I leave.... It's a lot more things that I didn't mention for the sake of not making this post excruciatingly long.

Yesterday I was so tempted to just get in the car and drive... Like drive to LA. LOL! I was so tempted and had to tell myself to just stick to the plan. The plan is what I've been executing was created months ago and I have just a few more weeks left. I don't plan on being so rigid when I move because I'm not normally like that. However, to get to where I want to be, which is LA, I needed to put a strategy together so that I could stay focused and be ready.

I am miss being the at a whim type of girl. Working a 9-5 puts you in a box and you allow your life only to happen/exist outside of those times. Which is the worst for my creative energy and space. I really don't like working in a set schedule.... I do like guaranteed money but who doesn't. It's funny how it excites me to not know where the next day will take me. I'm over being so super responsible... I don't mind getting things taken care of but this 9-5 -ish is the worst for me.

I don't mean to come off as if I'm unappreciative of the situation I'm in I'm just ready for something different. I'm ready for this new chapter to open up so I can begin writing a new story. The story-line that I'm on is old and played out. When I visualize what I want and how I want things to be it's really difficult for me to look at my surroundings and not have/see what I've dreamt about.

I get impatient right at the completion of something, because I've usually been peaking over at the next thing for quite some time. I say all this to say that I'm ready for LA... I miss that energy. If you've ever been to LA you will understand what I mean. As soon as you step off the plane you feel it. It's an energy of opportunity and happiness.... Now I know there is a cutting part of LA and drive-by LA, but that's never been apart of my world so to me that doesn't exist.

I appreciate you being an ear this morning. Don't forget to jump over to my LA fund page and donate whatever you can!!! Here's the link! 21 DAYS!!!!

Wake up call.

I had a wonderful wake up call this morning. No, no one actually called me on my cellphone to wake me up this morning, but I sort of just had a small epiphany. I state all the time how you have to really watch the things that you say about yourself and to yourself because thoughts are actions....

What I failed to also comprehend is that what you put INTO your brain also has a major effect.

I do limit the ratchet things I tune into and the rid myself of the ratchet/dramatic people in my life, but it wasn't until this morning that I realized I need to revisit the those things I allow into this dome of mine. I know I'm in a great space mentally and physically, but I will always strive for greater.

This post is sparked by several things I experienced these past few days. The first thing was waking up and looking through social media and seeing a situation that bothered me a little. The fact that the victim is continuously shaping the situation and mindset so that she's made to be the victim is bothersome to me. Own it and change it... Don't complain about it but you're not really doing anything to stop the cycle. I'd love to help so much, but that's not my place. You have to let people go through what they go through and hope that one day they figure it out. You can't live someone else's life nor change it unless they really want it to change.

I just had to let that situation go, but it did spark a thought of "why am I even tuning into the drama/ratchetness???" It got thinking about the other "ratchetness" I allow into my space...

I have a secret to tell you all... yes, I do watch Love & Hip Hop Atlanta!!!! Duh duh duuuhhhhh.... lol... Nothing new to you though.

I use to say that I watched it for the drama because that's the only morsel of drama I will allow in my brain. However, I am realizing that I am making efforts to tune into it when it comes on Monday nights... yes I know the day and time.... I mean, this past Monday I had to resist the urge to go to the gym later so that I could watch it as I ran on the treadmill. Yeah, it's that deep. That bothers me. I don't want anything but dancing to have that type of effect on me. To make me want to change around my schedule to see it... that's a problem. That show is not worth it. lol...

Which brings me to this morning.... I reread this amazing article in Italian Vogue, I believe, and watched Jay-Z's interview on Hot 97 with Angie Martinez this morning and it just solidified things for me. To be great you have to surround yourself with great things.... Funny how my mind makes these connections, but hey, the wonderful attribute of being right brained...

But anyway.... I have to be a little more meticulous about a lot of things... and one being the things I allow into my psyche. I feel a new chapter starting not just in the physical but also mental.

I love mornings like this... the gloom/gloomy energy today has really helped to center my energy not to mention the 8 hours of sleep I got last night. Happy Hump Day!!! Don't forget to donate anything you can to my LA Fund.... Hit this link and it will take you there directly... Thanks in advance.... Love you guys for listening.

Today!!!

Today is probably one of the happiest days of my life!!!

I'm FINALLY about to start to make my final plans for moving to LA! Up until today I've have had a rough sketch of how things would go down due to it being so far out and specific details really couldn't be solidified so far out. I woke up after a very fun and inebriated weekend realizing this and it isn't got rid of my grogginess. I could not wait to get to work today to start on these details.

I'm ready to go and I can't wait to see what LA has to hold for me. I've been waiting for this stage for quite some time  now and now that it's here my fingers can't move fast enough!!!! I have so much to do, but I have enough time to do it in.... I'm very greatful for the wonderful energies around me and that the position that I've placed myself in.... Now it's time to put in more work and fall off the grid for a little bit.... I'll be posting still BUT not as often as I had been these past few weeks... Of course I will let you know via FB, Twitter, and/or Instagram when I post. Thank you guys for riding with me... Don't forget to donate ANYTHING to my LA Fund. The link is right here.

Finding a balance.

It has been a VERY busy weekend of work... Yes, I said work!!! Not to much dancing which has made me sad. I'm trying to find that balance again of going to class and doing promotional work, but it's proving to be a little bit difficult. This week marks a new start to achieving my goals and getting in what I need to get in.

I got a lot of inspiration the other night watching the BET awards. Seeing someone I personally know up on stage with R. Kelly was very exciting for me.... That moment told me that I'm super close.... I know I may sound like a geek, but I am really happy and proud of Zoe for getting that gig. That's major to me because I've known him for a few years now and we've talked about that kind of stuff. I'm also amazed at the opportunity Sabrina has with him.... I'm just sitting back and watching. It really motivates me and reinforces what I'm doing and where I'm going. I have nothing but love for all of my fellow St. Louis dancers. We go hard even when we don't have to.

I want to make mention that I currently have 37 days left in ST. LOUIS!!!Yeah, I know!!!!! I have a moment and a spare $5.00 go and donate that to my LA Fund. Click the link. I'm so friggen excited!!!! You have a small idea, but not really!!! I am so ready to go...hit the dang ground RUNNING!!!! This week is a new beginning and a small restart for me. I have a bunch of studio time scheduled for me and I'm so excited... Hopefully I can get some footage for you guys! By the way I will be starting up a new teaching gig this week so wish me luck.... I love the good people/energies around me... You get what you put out!
