I Can't Keep It Going (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/16/20 •  Progress. Vs. Perfection....It's normal to have times in your practice  where you lack consistency. Don't judge yourself and realize that using  short times of deep breathing and mindfulness can happen anywhere and at  any time. The goal is momentary intention which leads to consistent  progress....not the unrealistic idea of perfection. * Set goals that are so realistic and easy that it's virtually impossible to be inconsistent.  Then add other more involved and complex goals on "top" over time. This  way no matter what you always achieve consistency. • Take time to "do nothing". With our day to day movement this practice  can actually feel more stressful than other more obvious stressful  activities. The goal is to practice this little by little to change our  relationship with stillness over time. • Periodically drop noting  and focus and allow your mind to wander. The simple practice of doing  this intentionally initiates reverse psychology allowing you to focus  better when needed. • Learn to enjoy your own company and always  extend gratitude, gratefulness and thankfulness to yourself for  intentionally making it a priority to make time for your self care.

The Brain On Meditation (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/17/20 • Cross sectional studies show that atrophy of the brain happens significantly less with those who meditate regularly. • Exploring shifts between focused attention and mind wandering develops intentional and aware mind control. • Through focused attention alone you are dampening and decreasing  activity in the limbic system, a primitive area of the brain important  for initiating and sustaining the stress response. • This type of practice offers a chance to explore what it's like to direct our attention in two very different ways. 1. Focusing your attention helps to stabilize the mind from frequent distractions, improve stress, depression and anxiety. 2. Letting the mind wander intentionally improves understanding of how  the mind works, flexibility, a non judgemental attitude and acts as  reverse psychology toward the goal of becoming more focused. •  The more we can understand how the mind works and our capacity to train  it, focus and be flexible the better resourced we are to meet the range  of emotions, perceptions and thoughts that we have every moment of every  day.

"________" Is My Meditation (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/15/20 • Meditation and mindfulness can be done during ANY activity. In fact  the more activities the practice is invited into the better. Intention  is the only ingredient needed to initiate this formula. • Welcome everything into the experience and make a decision that you're going to work to not get uptight about anything. • Always start with a focal point (the breath, point in the body, sound  etc.) and use noting to bring you back "home" to the focal point when  you inevitably get distracted. * "Welcome to the party" - Use  this statement to have a gentle and friendly approach to your  surroundings. At some point nothing or no one will have to leave the  party in order for you to be in a state of mindfulness and meditation. • Periodically allow yourself to detach from your focus to examine and  explore the other aspects of your surroundings. This actually creates  better control to stay focused on your home base by not trying to block  out, but welcoming your surroundings. Try to scan your surroundings  without over analyzing.

I'll Loose My "Edge" (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/14/20 •  Many people think that meditation will make them "soft". It's actually  quite the contrary. Meditation and mindfulness breeds equanimity,  compassion, clarity, clear and rational thinking and an "even keel-ness"  that actually allows you to deal with all situations better. Those that  require calmness and those that require aggressive alertness. • The tendacy is to think that the best way to deal with stress or stressful  situations is to agressively "stuff it down" or "be stronger" however  the more rigid you are the more deeply it permeates your system. Opening  up to it allows the energy to move through giving you the ability to  reset and come back to an experience more healthy, positively and fully. • This practice increases your capacity and develops invaluable skills  for high intensity jobs especially where deescalating situations is a  regular part of the daily work like being a police officer, fire  fighter, etc. because you develop the ability to deal with intense  situations with more clarity and less mindless impulsiveness. • Clarity is the ability to "tease out" the details of our experience. • Equanimity - Mental calmness, composure and evenness of temper  especially in difficult situations. The ability to receive challenging  energy without returning the favor. • Learn to enjoy your own  company and always extend gratitude, gratefulness and thankfulness to  yourself for intentionally making it a priority to make time for your  self care.

Do NOT treat others the way YOU desire to be treated. In general instances where your preferences “just so happen” to match you’ll be spot on. However with the reality of living in a world of different preferences  you’ll inevitably be unintentionally assuming and unknowingly dismissive  to what other desire even before putting the principle into action. In my opinion the more appropriate mantra should be..... “Treat others the way THEY desire to be treated so long as it doesn’t jeopardize your morals and values”. This way you can be respectful, sensitive and mindful of others desires while maintaining your personal values. Everyone wins. Aaron Hill

Enjoying the warm weather huh? It's an implication of a larger problem.......

Biomorph (A Word A Day) 1/13/20

R.A.I.N (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/13/20 R.A.I.N is a handy way to explore any sensation, thought or emotion. - Recognize - Accept - Investigate - Non-identification 1. This practice boosts your emotional literacy. You become curious of  an emotional reaction as opposed to being lost inside of the  emotion/experience. 2. You'll notice fewer negative emotions in general because of the regular practice of observing emotional habits. • Sometimes meditation can open "Pandora's Box" exposing various  subconscious feelings, emotions and habits you were previously not aware  of. • Recognize (without judgment) the emotions you are currently experiencing in the moment. • Accept. Whatever the emotional sensation allow it to be, open up to  it and even care for it. Instead of suppressing it simply allow yourself  to feel and be with it. In this you are integrating your emotions with  your cognition. Marrying what we feel with what we know. •  Acceptance is the most important practices for humanity. (imho) It's  also known by synonyms such as equanimity, forgiveness, maturity, love,  being present etc. • Investigating is expanding and deepening the  volume of what we're accepting by getting interested in what we're  feeling and working at a pace that is acceptable for us. • Be objective.....but friendly with yourself while investigating. When we open this way to a feeling mindfulness takes over. If you do this enough times you create a new healthier habit. • The way to change a habit is by working to create a new habit. Not by  trying to abruptly stop a habit. There is a subtle, nuanced difference  to this approach but the effects are monumental. •  Non-identification is the attitude of not taking your emotions  personally. Say ________ is happening similar to saying "A thunderstorm  is happening" Making this "room" or "wedge" allows for you to observe  the emotions, sensations or thoughts without becoming the emotion,  sensation or thought. • Periodically come back to your "home  base" (breath, being with the body etc.) during this mindfulness process  and practice to practice settling in, detaching, having self compassion  and overall....relaxing.

imho.... You are the MOST motivational to others when you’re just positively  living your life and not trying to “be motivational”. Authenticity with who you naturally are speaks volumes over the person you “suit up” to be. This is something I continue to learn everyday as I unapologetically display my vulnerability in full confidence to the world. And with each step I realize there was nothing to ever be afraid of or reluctant for. The highest respect comes to those who unapologetically live their truth. No matter what side of the “moral fence” they fall on. We all are impacted deeply by the deepest levels of human authenticity  because as a social species we know the courage it takes to truly.... Be Yourself. Aaron Hill

flex·u·ous /ˈflekSHo͞oəs/ adjective literary adjective: flexuous full of bends and curves. "he put an arm around her flexuous waist"

Meditation Is Self Indulgent (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/9/20 • It's normal to feel guilt for putting aside time to practice. The  mind can wander thinking about all the things you "could" or "should" be  doing. • If you're a very busy person you can face "burn out" by  not setting aside the time or putting your self care as a priority. In  order to continue to put time into other people, activities and daily  responsibilities you must make time for yourself, your mental clarity and physical well being. • Equinimity (mental calmness, composure, evenness of temper) is  achieved by making self care a priority. Remember, you can't be there  for others until you are there for yourself first. This is a good place  to be selfish. • Whatever you fight you ignite and whatever you  resist persists. Be gentle with yourself in meditation and take it one  focused moment at a time. • Self Compassion is the most important  medicine in the world that's needed whether you're feeling fine or not.  In extending it to yourself regularly you're practicing "preventative  self care" • Acceptance vs. judgement is key as you feel the range of emotions, thoughts and sensations while practicing meditation. • Using a phrase like "May I be well", "It's Ok", "Feel better" etc.  periodically while breathing can help with inducing mindfulness,  compassion and acceptance. You can also make up any personal phrase that  works for you. • Using imagery can also assist with this process. • Thinking of others while extending compassion, well wishes and  intentions of positivity adds to your personal experience of  mindfulness, relaxation and happiness. • Don't forget to thank yourself and extend a few moments of gratitude for taking the time to devote to your self care.

People Might Think I'm Weird (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/8/20 • Meditation is starting to become more and more socially acceptable  abroad among people with various belief systems, religions and spiritual  paths. • Pattern noticing/investigation is how we become less and less pulled away by the natural distractions. • Your breath is always your home base to come back to whenever you're mind starts to wander. • If focusing on breathing bothers you use the sensations of the body  or even some other sound to focus on. Meditative music is a good source. • Make a mental note of the direction your mind goes when being  distracted, make a mental note of that then refocus on the breath. • Use gentle non-judgemental curiosity to explore your distractions. This is mindfulness.

Fraught (A Word A Day) 1/8/20

This word almost sound like the fruit “a plum” Have you heard of it before?

I Don't Have Time For This (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/7/20 • Whether you have 30 seconds, 1 min., 5 min or and hour you DO have time to meditate. • Applying deep breathing, scanning the body and being mindful in ANY capacity IS self care. • Having the right attitude is half of the equation. Don't overthink the process and just practice being with the practices. • Being Intentional makes all the difference in the world. • Don't worry about not feeling that you're "good" at it. The idea is  to be gentle, be with your body and breath and refocus if you get  distracted using "noting". • There are many other places where  over analyzing is useful. Meditation is not one of them. Just relax, be  gentle with yourself and let go......even if only for 30 seconds.

I just created and coined the term "Neuromusical Mindfulness".  The definition is: Combining the neuroscience of music with the transformative power of mindfulness.  Currently studying neural pathways on a deeper level to prepare for my new series of volumes of musical releases:  "Deep Grooves" (A Neuromusical Mindfulness Experience)

2020 is the year of clarity of vision. One place that we all need clarity is where and how we set emotional boundaries to protect our mindsets and to find and remain in a place of peace. I hope you enjoy this entry on setting emotional boundaries.  Please drop a line if you do.

I Can't Do This - (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/6/20 Notes • Meditation isn't about clearing your brain. It's about focusing the  mind for short periods of time and using "noting" of and mindfulness of  your breath and body to refocus when your mind wanders. • Find a comfortable composure that allows for the distractions. • There is a difference between deep thinking and gentle awareness.  Both are forms of thinking with different levels of intensity. • Start your meditation first with an open, relaxed attitude. •  Many find the practice of "noting" helpful to help them to stay on  track. Noting is the skillful use of thinking to "hack" thinking. Examples: 1. Silently say to yourself "in and out" while breathing 2. Counting the number of breaths as you inhale and exhale. • Make a mental note of the natural place where your mind wanders.  Without judgment use this as a reminder to go back to noting gently. The  key is mindfulness.

Mental calmness, composure, evenness of temper.

Meditation for Skeptics - The Case for Meditation (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 1/5/20 Notes ° One of the things mindfulness meditation is useful for is bringing  into awareness a subconscious pattern you were previously unaware of and  need to address. ° Mindfulness meditation can successfully  lead  to honesty, gentleness and compassion with oneself which is the first  key to healing. Aaron Hill ° Focus and concentration is the foundational skill of meditation. It stabilizes the mind and makes room for peacefulness. ° Many times it's only when we get this "break" for our endless mental  churn of Obsessions and exuberant states that we realize how exhausting  our so called "normal state" can be. ° Bring an attitude of enjoyment to breathing deeply and focusing on your breathe. ° Many find the practice of "noting" helpful to help them to stay on  track. Noting is the skillful use of thinking to "hack" thinking. Examples: 1. Silently say to yourself "in and out" while breathing 2. Counting the number of breaths as you inhale and exhale. ° It's normal for your thoughts to wander. When you give your body a  break the mind starts moving twice as fast. Mindfulness is about  commitment to a non-judgmental process of guiding yourself. Notice the  wandering then use noting to hone back in to focused concentration. ° Also use scanning of the body as another form of noting.

Canny (A Word A Day) 1/4/20 adjective adjective: canny; comparative adjective: cannier; superlative adjective: canniest 1. having or showing shrewdness and good judgment, especially in money or business matters. "canny shoppers came early for a bargain"

How To Face Tough Stuff (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 12/26/19 ° We suffer because we think something is either a total mistake OR  that there's some grand "predestined" purpose for what's happening in  our lives. You choose the purpose based on your response to your  experience. ° Acceptance is the key to peace. ° Meditation and mindfulness teaches you how to feel feelings without being overwhelmed by them. ° There's not always rhyme and reason to why things happen in our  lives. If we think the stress in our life is a mistake or that something  has gone wrong rather than attending to what's happening we'll get  stuck in the story. Stress is apart of life and resisting it just  creates more tension and stress. (Sebene Selassie) ° Cultivating  the ability to be with discomfort and allow the feelings that come with  stress allows us to be with all experiences in our lives more fully. ° Ask yourself "what's happening?". Name and acknowledge the emotion  accompanying the stress without attaching the story to it, over  analyzing it or moving to problem solving. Just be with it. ° Try  to stay with what's arising, even if it's uncomfortable knowing that  you're building the capacity to tolerate what's unpleasant in order to  adapt and grow. ° If the discomfort becomes to much take deep breaths to relax the body. ° Asking yourself "Can I be with this?" helps to broaden your perspectives about what you're feeling. ° Ask yourself "Can I appreciate what I'm feeling". ° Take the time to appreciate yourself each time you spend a few minutes being mindful, meditating or breathing deeply.

Stress Is Your Ally (10% Happier Self Care Journey) 12/25/19 * Not all stress is debilitating. Some lower levels help you to perform better, be more aware and alert and have energy. * Science shows that changing your mindset about stress can literally change your physiology. * Thinking about a time where you were stressed and rise to the  occasion is one way to reverse your bodies response allowing you to turn  debilitating stress into energy to succeed. * Feeling stressed is a sign that you care about something. * When experiencing stress ask yourself the questions: * What am I stressed about? * Why do I care? * Is there an opportunity inherently in this. * Remember your first line of defense against stress is taking a deep breath.

Pyrophobia is a fear of  fire, which can be considered irrational if beyond what is considered  normal. This phobia is ancient and primordial, perhaps since mankind's  discovery of fire.

a person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning.

One of my favorite words right now. the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something. "their mindfulness of the wider cinematic tradition" 2. a  mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present  moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings,  thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.

Norepinephrine - A Word A Day 12/23/19 Also called noradrenaline, substance that is released predominantly  from the ends of sympathetic nerve fibres and that acts to increase the  force of skeletal muscle contraction and the rate and force of  contraction of the heart.

The Science Of Stress 10% Happier Self Care Journey  - 12/23/19 Notes ° Adrenaline increases your heart rate preparing you for action. ° Breathing speeds up to increase oxygen to the brain ° Norepinephrine - another hormone similar to adrenaline is released to increase arousal and energy. ° Cortisol increases sugar level giving extra energy. ° Cortisol also curbs functions that would be nonessential or detrimental in a fight-or-flight situation ° Stress hormones are natural and in the right circumstances can be life saving. ° If we learn to "lean into" the feeling of stress instead of running  away from it it won't own us and we can use the experience to make  better decisions. ° Bringing awareness to the body and out of the head can help us to deescalate. ° Learning to "feel" the body can help us to separate the reality of  what's going on from the mental loop or story going on in our heads.

As artists we have to do more than just saying... “DOWNLOAD MY NEW SONG!!!” That shit is for the birds. 🐦

I had a fun interview today where I got a chance to teach a lesson to the teachers at Believe In Music. Here’s the recap. Please check out full video on my YouTube channel (Aaron Hill TV)

Accepting Fear 12/11/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 7 Notes ° "I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've  never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do." Georgia O'Keeffe ° Many times having courage is more attainable than being fearless. -Aaron Hill ° Acknowledging and accepting the feeling of fear is the first key to  investigating the feeling which is the first key to alleviating and  breaking up the grip of fear. ° Fear is an evolutionary survival tool. The point is to manage it so that you don't experience it when you doesn't serve you.

circumscribe - 12/11/19 A Word A Day verb (used with object), cir·cum·scribed, cir·cum·scrib·ing. to draw a line around; encircle: to circumscribe a city on a map. to enclose within bounds; limit or confine, especially narrowly: Her social activities are circumscribed by school regulations. to mark off; define; delimit: to circumscribe the area of a science. Geometry. to draw (a figure) around another figure so as to touch as many points as possible.     (of a figure) to enclose (another figure) in this manner.

Cessation - A Word A Day 12/10/19 noun: cessation; plural noun: cessations the fact or process of ending or being brought to an end.     "the cessation of hostilities"

Lust Cracks The Brain 12/10/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 6 Notes ° Introducing a bit of humor about your thoughts is a tremendously valuable tool in practicing mindfulness. ° There's absolutely NOTHING inerrantly wrong with lust or any other  desire. The goal is to pay attention to which desires serve us and which  entangle us. Balance is key. ° Lust is the foundational reason that you can read this statement. 😂 ° As far as sex goes…..Lust is actually the first stage of falling in  love. It is driven by desire, the sex hormones play an important role in  this stage which makes sense because if there is no desire, then how  can there eventually be love. Lust is the fire, love is the fuel and  without one the other doesn't last for too long.

Letting Thoughts Go 12/9/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey — Day 5 Notes ° Remember that the “thought” of a thing, scenario or circumstance is not the thing itself. Sometimes we aren’t aware that we are getting deeply emotionally sucked into the “movies” of our minds. Some are fine some are causing us unnecessary stress, anxiety or depression. ° Use mindfulness to sort through these thoughts to see if they are helpful to us or useless, unhealthy or harmful. ° If you get caught up in an unhealthy “movie” in your mind take a few minutes to breath deeply, focus on your breath and tell yourself “It’s ok to feel this”, “It’s just a mind state”, “These feelings are only temporary”, “I can freely let this go”. ° Meditation becomes increasingly accessible as we learn to let thoughts come and go.

Pranayama (prana = energy + yama = control) is a type of meditation technique that  involves various ways of controlling the breathing, with the goal being  to withdraw ones senses from the outside world. This helps one to raise  one’s prana (or Kundalini energy in this case) up the deep spine to the  spiritual eye or sixth chakra, which brings one to enlightenment. Kriya  Yoga is one such technique, made well known by Paramhamsa Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi.  (1)

compersion (uncountable) 1. The feeling of joy one has experiencing another's joy, such as in witnessing a toddler's joy and feeling joy in response. 2. The feeling of joy associated with seeing a loved one love another; contrasted with jealousy.

"It's Ok To Feel This" 12/7/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 4 Notes ° Recognition isn't mindfulness. We can recognize something and still be averse to it. ° Mindfulness: a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on  the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's  feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic  technique. ° Saying "It's ok to feel this" allows us to balance  the recognition with a genuine acceptance of what we're feeling or what  is there. ° When meditating and using the words "In/Out" while  breathing use mouth shapes that naturally mimic these words like in  Pranayamic breathing exercises.

"It's Just A Mind State" 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 3 Notes ° Fear is a changing mind state that will go just as easily as it comes  if you let it. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. - Aaron Hill ° To become mindful take suffering or tension as "feedback" rather than a problem. ° Struggling with something is an indicator of not accepting. When you accept, the feeling of struggle dissipates. - Aaron Hill ° When dealing with undesirable narratives and loops remind yourself "It's Just A Mind State". ° When meditating use the phrase "In out" while breathing to help to keep your mind focused on your breath.

Being vulnerable and not worrying about anyone else’s judgment is a topic that we are used to but not as used to in our new environment of communication called social media. I feel that I will be a counselor and supporter in this area of human relations until the day I die..... Or until every human on earth is that a place of high self-esteem and self-confidence around it and that mission excites me.

Sometimes I really wonder......

Until today I have NEVER heard this term. But after I looked it up it gave me so much confirmation of something I’ve know Ive for a while. Wondering your thoughts???

y new journey around self care and meditation. 2 years ago I had a panic attack and as I started researching I came across news anchor Dan Harris' story. His quest led him to create a compilation of meditation courses featuring a wide diversity of great contributors, an audio book and a really in depth app around these topics. It resonated with me because as a secular humanist I need meditation resources that are void of religious or spiritual connotations, motivations and language..... otherwise they become distractions and obstacles to me being successful with the practices. I highly recommend his resource for anyone interested in meditation. It's really educational, inspirational and fun. Here's the website: www.tenpercent.com I'll be documenting my daily self care journey using this resource so please stay tuned as I share to help others and to help myself! Also, here's the link to my new piano meditation album "Key Reflections" https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/aaronhill/key-reflections-vol-1 I also hope to become a musical contributor myself! *fingers crossed!*🤞

CNN did a report about Trumps falsehoods and how they’ve desensitized us. Here’s my thoughts. I’m curious of yours.

My New Brand Of Neurological Programming Music.

An interesting question with an interesting answer.

A Great Meeting with Believe In Music and I have the new song name!!!

Recap of my convo with my friend Jiana Hunter. Helping her to achieve her legacy goals!

Always fun when you get to play new songs with such incredible musicians!

I love having / creating new experiences. I also love nothing more than to pour into other people....especially with regard to their legacy. Tonight was the best of both worlds 😎

Mindset Mindset Mindset Mindset.....Oh and one more thing..... Mindset. 😂 The world and industries around us change and have changed so rapidly that we’re applying an Old Mindset to a New Industry. Check out this convo explaining how musicians and artists should approach the new media environment we’re living in. Enjoy!

It’s kind of like having a conversation with my 19 year old self. Creative minded, forward thinking, a natural entrepreneurial spirit, positive and optimistic vibe, well mannered and forward thinking; I believe Naseem Rogers is a promising 19 year old. Please enjoy this convo and drop a line in support of this brother.

In 2008 I met a brother who would be apart of the next 3 year unfolding of my musical life. We would create many musical memories in the studio and playing as live musicians. Now I get the opposite to give back by helping him to approach his music career from a new perspective and share some info that I think is helpful for many artists and musicians. I really hope you enjoy this convo and by all means drop him a line in support of the stories he’s getting ready to share with you about his musical journey!

The music industry has changed so much over the past 10-15 years that it can be hard to know how to setup your business to get your royalties and obtain your rights. In this convo we discuss some formulas to use as starting or finalized templates.

I believe we have an overemphasis on expectation and an under emphasis on acceptance.....

Helping my brother to reset, refocus and realign.....as well as taking my own medicine.

I’ve been sooooo looking forward to having this conversation! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

I have always found this to be soooo funny 😆

When a person says I Don’t Want To Hear That Bullshit when you express your feelings.

This conversation is my gift to everyone. Helping people to use technology and creative ideas to fulfill their legacy goals is one of the chosen purposes for life. I hope it’s a gift to you too.

Many people are afraid or just uneducated on the benefits of going to a chiropractor. This is my attempt to bring light via my own experience. Hope you enjoy!

Reread the title above again for an in depth explanation.....Then just listen to the podcast, watch the live stream video “Elation” and you’ll see why I said that. Real Talk.

The value of exposure and education can never be underestimated. I personally feel it’s the number one determining factor to the successes and failures of humanity. Another thing that can never be underestimated is the value of building lasting relationships. Here my and my good brother Eugene Barnes build on those values simultaneously while building a relationship 😊

I’ve had the honor and great opportunity to teaching the S.T.E.M class in the Baltimore public school system a few times now and it’s been a really enjoyable experience for myself, the teachers and the students. Here I talk with Linda Strowbridge of the Fort Meade Alliance for an article that will be published in their newsletter about my program and my unique approach to Math In Music. Enjoy!

Finding your musical “voice” can be a challenging process for many. I believe the key is dedicating time to be “in the shed” where you can explore the ideas, styles and vocabulary that resonate deeply with YOU, your personality and tastes (separate from getting ready for a gig). In this convo my good friend Tonya Franklin and I chop it up and go down the “rabbit hole” on this deep topic. Enjoy and by all means please drop a line with your additional thoughts and ponderings.

Balance, Confidence and Intent are the keys to making a difference in your career.

From a 3 year old displaying an amazing gift of figuring out on the piano what she heard her grandmother play to the viral video of her rendition of “Hear My Prayer” Callie Day is an amazingly humble, modest, transparent and genuine person who’s story is just as awe inspiring as her vast and dynamic vocal range.

Making happiness, peace, contentment and quality of life TOP priority is the only way to live. Often this means making a decision in life that although it comes with its ups and downs gives you way more quality of life, success and happiness in the long run.

Intention and Vulnerability is the name of the game.

I really cherish these dear people. They are taking major courageous strides in their legacy.

😡I HATE the way people cross the street in west Baltimore. Here’s my reasons why.....oh and I also y’all about some good music 😊 😂

Tonight was a night to remember.

An exciting talk with Henry Wong about spreading more community awareness of An Die Musik.

A personal story.

It was an honor teaching at the college where it all started for me 20 years ago as a student.

Smiling from ear to ear..☺️

The current joy I’m getting out of assisting people from all walks of life with documenting their legacy and sharing their true “voice” with the world is priceless.

We discuss the benefit of a weekly Vlog, Kemit’s new e book, mindset and more.

Recap to a great meeting talking marketing with a marketer!!

My life work is to help others with Creative Content Strategy for their Legacy.

My homie Tyrone Lankford has a unique personal brand of humor that has a future if we study the “Kev On Stage” success story and implement the same strategy.

More than being starters let’s be finishers. Before you start another project, business venture or opportunity give the ones that you’ve already started a chance to fly.

In 5-10 years everyone who makes a living that utilizes social media in any way will have a dedicated content manager and video editor.....or at least it will be in our best interest to have them.

I was listening to one of my favorite jazz pianist Keith Jarrett and heard a song that I thought was mislabeled. It was it. You learn something new every day.

To find the best “seashell” in life there are 2 approaches. 1.) Setup a technical excavation with high tech equipment and a team. 2.) Play like a kid in the sand. On your major, intense, SUPER serious life excavation take the time to explore like an innocent bright eyed curious kid..... You’ll find the same seashell and have a much more fun time doing it.
