"I am glad you never let the music industry swallow you whole."
Thank you, sister...me too!! And thanks for listening as always, to my art. How's you and yours? I'm playing my last show of April tonight, which I'll dress up all fancy for. And I'll refocus on researching where to relocate to. I'm using this comment space to basically text you about about stuff! hahahah! Have a wonderful day, sister!! XOX
That's ok! It could be my last one for a long while (or ever?!) depending on when and where I move, so I'm choosing to see it as a gift. To be fully present in it as its happening. To enJOY the heck out of it! :)
Balance is key!! Keeping a couple toes dipped into substack is enough, I find. Ooooohh....a new mural. Exciting!! Is it for a friend of yours? Keep lots of pics of your process....I wanna see!!
powerful message Jacqueline.. This really struck me "No longer an artist. I would become a commodity." we were all born to be artists in our unique ways, The system decided to steal this creative potential from us! Thank you for pointing the way out of that system
YES!! We can claim it back!! And we are with each breath we take, each painting we paint and song we write. Sending you so much love and appreciation for your beautiful offerings and presence in this world , Kara! XOX
Outstanding, Jacqueline; I celebrate your joy, success, and happiness in sharing it with the world.
I wrote about my experience with Keith Rainere and his Executive Success Program. Although my vibes of Keith were spot on, and I stayed away from the man, my ex-husband briefly enrolled in his program and benefited greatly. And I observed those around me who were part of his program — who also succeeded through the empowerment he taught. But then Keith ruined what he created by negatively using unequivocal techniques, and in doing so, got him a harem of beautiful women sex slaves who even volunteered to be branded.
I only bring this up because regardless of Keith’s intentions and criminality, so many of the things Keith did for people were beautiful. He just left those people he was guiding hanging…
“ No longer an artist. I would become a commodity." A powerful message about the reclamation of your creative self!
I so appreciate your comment and for pointing out the complexity of these types of programs.
I am very familiar with the less than positive narratives surrounding Landmark, and the various experiences of it's graduates. There really is a very fine line between curricula/community/cult! Being as free as spirit as I am, I've never been one to latch on to any one teaching, or guru or ideology....thankfully!! I just mine for the gold wherever I can find it, assimilate what nourishes my growth, and then carry on my merry way!
Have a wonderful Sunday, you beautiful magical soul!! XOX
My pleasure Jacqueline, thank you! Its like you have this wonderful gift to teach people, but then some turn it yo evil. This is the first I’ve heard of Landmark! The only Landmark I knew was the Landmark hotel in Las Vegas which was dismantled a few decades ago. It used to feature many new up-and-coming music artists. And even a held showcases for those wanting to perform. I thought you were talking about the landmark for a moment.Lol!
I have encountered some hypnotists who are like Keith and use their abilities to unknowingly persuade people. But fortunately there is mostly good from these programs which unwind your mind so can reset your life rhythms. How can you do that without unclogging all the crap? That’s why I love following people like yourself, Demi, Solarah and a few others compelling spiritual writers.
I’ve taken many acting classes and there was a particular one back in college where we learn the techniques to erase some of those channels.
Hi!! Thank you so much, Michael, for listening and liking. :)
The song has been recorded for a while now- on an 8-track....which shows how long ago that was!- but I set off to create the video for it yesterday when I awoke to a cozy rainy day perfect for art-making. I finished it this morning, along with writing out the post to provide context for the song's origins.
Love hearing your songs I haven't heard yet 🤩🙌🙌🥰 Pretty sure I haven't heard this one yet! So glad your Landmark slef showed up in my world, I have learned so much from you and I'm so grateful for your love and continued support. ❤️
Lovely! Were you in Sedona? Sometimes I feel things start in the womb. We are such sensitive beings. It is a tranquil day here. Emotions have been stormy for me lately. I looked at the similar stormy sea today as I sat on a cliff. Too stormy for surfers. I love the ocean stormy when I am not tossed by it. Made me think of loving my stormy moments. One big long day has a lot of variety! I loved the beat and the way it pulsed in my body along with your lyrics.
Hugs back... Yes! So much power in a stormy ocean. I love the wildness of it. I loved listening. I lived in Sedona for 14 months. It felt like another planet there...the landscape is so different and pretty. And there are places that made my body tingle. Magical...
I’m thrilled to hear of your success, cheer your breakthroughs, and am frankly surprised to hear the accolade for Landmark Forum. I’m glad your experience was a positive one.
My personal experience with Landmark back in the late 90’s and early aughts was quite different; so much so that I’m compelled to comment urging caution to anyone from jumping into that program head first without performing extensive due diligence.
I’d recommend looking into Transformative NLP as an alternative to anyone seeking a program offering a useful toolbox for personal change, effective communication and clear understanding of the structure of human experience.
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so sorry to hear that your experience wasn't a good one. I imagine there are as many different versions of outcomes as there are people who take the course.
I'm grateful it served me well. And most importantly, inspired a ton of song-writing. ;)
And it's a wonderful thing that there is no shortage of varying healing modalities available to us who are looking for some guidance and understanding along the way.
I noticed your absence. you were missed! :)

Holy crap! A conductor!!
" you will find people who want to hear your music. 100%"
Thank you!~ I'm just not sure how urban I will be. *shrugs

Wonderful!!! Sounds beautiful!!
Pricing is so difficult. Not shooting yourself in the foot is important. :)
hahahahaha!! I LOVE that Susan!! Thanks so much for reading and commenting. :)
Thanks so much, Jeffrey!!

Magnificent...
That is a powerful adjective, Stone!! I bow my head in an attempt to humbly resemble the full meaning of the word. :)
Hold your head high, my friend - it fits you, and this song :-)
wow....thank YOU, my friend. :)

Wonderful song and lyrics. Did you just create this? I saw that you just published it on YouTube today! Well done!

Hi Terra!
You're so right....so much trauma starts in the womb.
I've never been to Sedona~ maybe one day. Oooohhhh a stormy ocean has so much power in it, doesn't it?
Thank you for listening, my beautiful friend...I'm so happy to hear you felt it pulse in you. Music to a musician's ears...xox sending you hugs.

So beautifully said. You have such an emotional sensibility in how you use language to convey feeling an idea. Thank you for this 🙏🏾🤗💫
Awww...thank you, beauty!! I'm so touched! :) You're very welcome. xo
"Someday" is mostly a phrase for avoiding what we really want, absolving ourselves of the responsibility for making it happen.
Art is magic: imagine, intend, will it into being.
Beautifully said....indeed, William!
I could feel the song and it's meaning. Great job!
Thank you so much. :)
I really appreciate you reading and listening, Harshini!
I listened to the last 3 of your posts.
The two latest show you have the expertise to record.
I would like to hear your vocal a bit more in front of the tracks.
The earlier one I would suggest for live performance you try some exercises like you are singing to the back row of a 60 seat venue.
You obviously have a lot of listeners feed them a wider variety.
Just some suggestions.
Be well.
Seep singing.
Hey Malcom!! I absolutely love your suggestions. Thank you so much for listening to my music and taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
You got it! I will certainly post one next that has way better mix of the vocals. I already have a couple in mind. :) Stay tuned!
This recording of Someday is over 20 years old (yikes!!) and I would happily re-mix it if I could!
Can you rerecord it?
Maybe....? I do love the lyrics so maybe one day I will. Anything's possible!
I released it yesterday as a way to share some of my past work and move on. I love the recording as is. Its a time capsule for me.
Thank you, my beautiful friend. :)
