“New Beginnings For This Virgo”

So , I’ve been working on my “global” communication skills a lot over the years. Being someone who’s spent half my life on a stage with a freakin’ microphone you’d think it’s second nature, but it’s not an easy thing for an ambivert. An ambivert is a combo of extrovert and introvert. We have our spurts of energy and then want to go chill somewhere with a good book or movie or in nature. A Virgo ambivert would prefer being busy creating things or helping others, or contributing to society. My generation Virgo is still learning how useful social media can be in accomplishing all those things. That’s why I don’t blog every week, yet. I’m trying to do better.

What drives each of us, whether we’re aware of it or not is our life’s purpose. For some of us it’s the thing you love to do most, but it sometimes scares the pants off of you. Some of us keep pushing’, others give up and remain in our safe zone, never to be totally happy with our lives bitching about others, feeling arthritic and stuck, thinking “illness is supposed to come at this age”. Not so. Others on an easier life path seem to have all the “luck” , opportunities appear out of no where and its easy sailing. It’s because they stay focused on what makes them happy and sharing that with others, which usually ends up being their life’s purpose and a bit of good karma has something to do with it also.

As some of you know, I’m in to metaphysics and I’m an intuitive reader so my readings & charts & following my intuition have been a major help to me in this area ALL my life. They’ve helped me understand #mypurposeforbeinghere and keep me focused. Some of you say how can you plan like that? Well the Universe has a plan, otherwise the sun would rise and set in a different place each day. There is a plan, we just have more choices than the sun.

When I pay attention to the messages, when I’m diligent about silent meditation each day, and listening to my recorded affirmations, and meditations, things go much more smoothly than when I don’t do any of the above. I also get a heads up that at certain times of the year its going to be rough sailing so I’m able to prepare and take extra care for example to watch my thoughts, eat healthy, rest and exercise to handle and release the stress thats coming.

When I feel overwhelmed and I forget , I fall way off the proverbial “track”. I begin to suffer in all areas of my life, body, mind, and spirit, what I call the “holy trinity”. I love life so I really hate being sick. The recent past birth year I’ve made an extra push to have a better and happier quality of life. There are things I haven’t dealt with consistently enough over the years, so I’m trying harder than ever to keep a routine as best I can with all of the above mentioned tools.

The beautiful new SuperMoon just passed and with the new moon in Virgo it’s time to make intentions for even better self-care (because without our health, nothing else matters),organization (whether at home or in your career or both!), and service to others (our work/passion). Make a short bucket list of improvements you’d like to make in all areas of your life. Remember for Virgos healthy eating is most important for a healthy digestive system which can make or break your energy and your day.

Exercise for Virgo is wonderful for getting you outside your head, Virgos being the brainiacs of the signs. Make your goals simple, one step at a time. With the energy of the beautiful new moon as a motivation, decide each morning before you rise how you want your day to be. We are the creators! #findyourpurpose by asking yourself what makes you happy or used to make you happy before “life” got in the way.

Love,

Deborah

America: Independence in Crisis

Independence Day 2022….. we just returned this morning from New York City. The trip reminded me that WE are a DIVERSE nation filled with amazing PEOPLE from ALL ACROOS THE GLOBE doing amazing things EVERYDAY in America.

In NYC they live shoulder to shoulder, literally a sea of humanity, living civilly & peaceably for the most part. In one neighborhood we hear latin music, the next neighborhood we ate sushi, the next neighborhood dim sum. Every color, every shade of humanity living together in such a small space peacably.

Remember, the people doing bad things are the minority in this country. The people trying to steal our rights are the minority in this country.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE THEM OUT. You have the right to demand impeachment or resignation even of the current judges who have let power corrupt them and lost their way. I recorded this video 4th of July 2020 when hundreds of thousands of Americans were left to die. Now we’re in danger again. Don’t look away. Vote with a purpose this fall of 2022.

Text, tweet, Facebook post / message your Senators and Congresspeople as often as possible and demand they do their job to protect this country, update the Constitution , uphold the law, stop the attack on our elections and our democracy or we will #VOTETHEMOUT2022.

That’s my motivation and my hope this Independence Day,..not to lose our independence, not to lose our way.

#VOTE2022 it’s never been more important.

Songwriting Tip!

In the last original song on my new dance music album “Up To Us ” I’m co-writing the lyrics, writing the melody, arranging & co-producing the song, and adding a guitar solo. I’m recording it next Tuesday in the studio.

Yesterday I realized that the melody I had written for the first line in the chorus was the same as the first line in the verse and thought “Oh no!?” I’ve always been taught that chorus & verse melody should be different. BUT it sounds so good!! Is that acceptable, I’m sure I’ve heard it before?

So I went looking for examples…..

Turns out IT IS !

http://Writing Songs where the verse and chorus melody are the same.

Get Better Audio for Your Livestreams, Multiple Options

I’ve been doing some research on how to connect my old Yamaha EMX 660 mixer to my iTrack Solo to myMac laptop for best digital recording audio for my music videos & livestreams using both vocals and guitar. I didn’t want to buy new equipment.

There were so many videos of people using the latest digital equipment with a shopping list included. It got a bit overwhelming just thinking about having to do more research trying to figure out which brand was best & most reliable . The equipment I’ve invested in over the past 3 decades still works fine. So I thought I’d figure out how to use it in this new era of live-streaming through our laptops.

Here are 2 video’s that show multiple options. Hope it’s helpful for your live streams. It definitely was for me and saved me hundreds of dollars using equipment I already have! The only thing I didn’t have was this $8 cable so that I could try for stereo vs mono recording. It’ll arrive in a day or so. Can’t wait! Happy recording!

“America the Beautiful” first published in the 4th of July edition of the church periodical The Congregationalist in 1895 continues to be held in high esteem by a large number of Americans, and was being considered before 1931 as a candidate to become the national anthem of the United States.”
