Hello Everyone!

(just a note, if you’re catching this on facebook, or another site, You’ll have to visit http:// www.doggeddreamcreations.com/divinityrising to see the videos/photos)

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful fall as we move into colder weather. I have found myself quite blessed as I settle into my new home and transition from hosting so many Sub Rosa shows into developing my own projects again with Diaries of a Godling.

I am so grateful to be in a place of realizing that I am now living the life I once dreamed of. Several years ago, I set out on a journey to find and create my dream..It’s been a treacherous and nerve wracking journey, but after sticking it out, I’m ecstatic to say I’m definitely more in alignment with my dreams, although the journey is never done. That’s what makes “being in the moment” so vital to knowing peace. In every moment we find ourselves in, we will have a new future vision of perfection – it is what drives us to continue to grow and evolve….So, we can’t really focus on “getting there”. If we continually draw joy from the future, we miss out on the present, which is what we used to dream about being! I’ve found it helps greatly to focus on what kind of person I want to be rather than what we want.

There are times during the journey that I would feel deflated, that I still get frustrated or feel I haven’t accomplished enough, but you lovers have all been so wonderful in picking me up when I need it. I’m so grateful for all of you. Thank you for taking this journey with me as you read. Thank you for your words of encouragement, art, and gifts. Thank you for letting me into your hearts and minds.

I am so honored when I inspire others to create and am floored by this video that Sarah Donahue made for me, and even more in awe of the comments people gave her to use…sneaky little monkeys!!! ( I really want to spell that “monkies”, by the way).

Sarah is an amazing and beautiful young woman who I know will find herself most successful with any creative endeavor she undertakes.

I haven’t been able to post in a while, so I wanted to make sure and catch up, so excuse me if this update has a lot of different tidbits in it.

As you may have read in some of my posts, I’m a huge fan and supporter of A Mighty Kindness, a nonprofit group in Louisville Ky that is focused in emphasizing the UNITY in community.  I was honored to attend and spin fire at their recent fall hootenanny (gathering of local  artists, farmers, businesses, organizations, etc) in Willow Park. I appeared in an interview that featured the festival for the web show “Living with the Locals”.

In an awe inspiring moment at the Fall Harvest Hootenanny (with the mascot always being an “owl”), the entire crowd found themselves blessed as a gray owl came and nested in the tree to the right of the stage.

On a stranger note, I’ll be completely green in two days. I made a deal back in July for a themed event: if over 100 people came out, I would host a following show as an Orion Slave Girl. Well, i have to make good on that promise at our Star Wars vs Star Trek event Saturday at Diamonds Pub and Billiards. ( I know, my geekidermis is showing. I can’t help it. I dig fanboys). As always, info for my Sub Rosa shows can be found at

For those of you that came out over the last year to Carly Raes to enjoy local art, music, poetry and to perform with me – I am sad to announce they have closed their doors. I will miss the great environment, people and open hearts. The last year was amazing to behold…to see people come out despite third degree burns, in the midst of city wide blackouts and ominous snowstorms, after earthquakes, and driving from other cities. Thank you. You’ve all played a big part in my growth. All of you are welcome to join us Mondays at Diamonds. Please keep in touch, keep up the writing, singing, and over all awesome being. If you’d like to find other open mics, please look at the website listed above – there is a link to all the open mics in Louisville that I know of.

I recently directed a psa type short film for a two day film challenge at Western Kentucky University. We had 48 hours from receiving necessary elements (a 9 iron, a character: Nate, lame college kid, a jail cell, and the line “Over a lifetime, college graduates make 1.2 million more than non-graduates.”) Cody got to deliver a rockin line and the team I worked with was awesome.

And last, but certainly not least: here are a couple pics from the early experiments on style for Diaries of A Godling. I hope they don’t scare you.

Shoot me an email or sign my guest book, and let me know what you think:

Aside from the creation activities, I’ve been focusing on some healing. I’ve been going to the chiropractor several times a week to try to continue to improve my health I’ve spent so much time in mental/spiritual learnings over the last several years, I’ve forgone dealing with my body some.  As someone who’s never really liked to “deal” with things and not wanting to be a sissy, I’ve had some injuries that were never properly dealt with ( from car accidents, extreme boffer fighting, etc).  In addition to that, I quit smoking two and a half years ago, YAY ME! It’s a great achievement, but I’ve put on a lot of weight, so I’m working on getting in shape.

So, that’s what’s been keeping me busy. Thanks for all the wonderful 2009 memories. So many beautiful souls in place to harvest and reap their rewards. I’ve met so many amazing people and am in awe over it each and every day.   I send my love to all of you.
