Uplifting Music - Remember Who You Are

I would like to share with you some of the lyrics of Shimshai, a World Fusion musician who weaves together the wisdom and sounds of many world traditions. Ever hear a song with Hebrew, spanish, Sanskrit and reggae flowing as one? It is an experience worth having, and also a message worth hearing.

"You are forever pure.
You are forever true
and the dream of this world
can never touch you.
So give up your attachment
and give up your confusion
and fly to that space that's beyond
all illusion."

~ Shimshai from the song "Suddhosi Buddhosi" off the album "Live on Maui"

"Pure, pure like the water,
let it run forever more,
to be clean, clean as the waves
come crashing to the shore.
It leaves me
smooth, smooth as a pebble,
polished in the depth of love
carried by the winds of grace
on the wings of a dove.
...
Arise and awake from your slumber
Kindle ancient flame
as witness to the waves of what's to change
though the essence remains the same."

~ Shimshai from the song "Pure" off the album "Deliverance"

If you like his message, you can read more about this beautiful music and what its message can mean in your life in the longer article I wrote on my blog today called Singing for your Freedom. Also find links to where you can listen to the songs or purchase downloads of them. Enjoy, and may you see the Truth in yourself, and find it again reflected back to you within every face you see.

VIDEO: My Fun Vistoso Bosses Interview!

Hey Cupcakes,

It's never crowded along the extra mile. The proof? The fun, motivational new girl group from Atlanta called The Vistoso Bosses. Recently, Mr. ColliPark of ColliPark Music sent them up to New York City to hang out with me and have an exclusive interview with The Planet Abiola Show.

WATCH & Support Them!

I LOVE sharing new artists. Didn't they remind you of another girl group from ATL back in the days? Yup, TLC!

What do you say?

Mwah! Share your inspiration.

Alpha-Political Verse 2009

From time to time, I write an alphabetical poem summing up a period’s zany and significant political moments, with links to my related satire.

Although Barack Obama’s administration is still relatively new, there’s already plenty of material for another piece of alpha-political poetry:

"A is for Alaska with its lovely Russian view.

B is for the Birthers who will rant and rave on cue.

C is for conservatives co-opted by the loons.

D is for each Democrat who caves and often swoons. ..."

VIDEO: My Inspirational Convo With Malik Yoba

Hey Goddesses,

Let's have a Motivated Monday!

My personal intention for today is to try looking for the BEST not the worst. Sometimes I succeed and other times FAIL miserably, but it's usually FUN! I know that sometimes it's a daily battle for us with some people always trying to share their negativity.

That's why it was especially refreshing to have this conversation in Brooklyn, New York with Malik Yoba, the actor best known from 90's cop drama New York Undercover.

Don't you love it that America is a country that salutes the second act? Whether you decide to do one thing for your first act and become a star for your second act like Bea Arthur or Morgan Freeman who didn't become stars until after 50, or you decide to diversify like Malik Yoba who is now a playwright as well as musician, this is possible.

Watch!
