The rough cut of  “Calling All the Magical People” is the soundtrack We rushed to have this version done by the parade, but I went back and redid some vocals, etc afterwards.  I’m hoping the mastered version will be available for purchase within the week. I just couldn’t put off sharing this any longer.

I’m going to try to break up my newsletters from now on  so they’re not so daunting  and come a little more frequently. By the time I get around to writing to you, I have so much to share, I fear I will fry your brains. In light of this problem, I have discovered an interesting solution! The “publish scheduling” option of wordpress!

In my next newsletter, I’ll have something fun for Derby for you. Do you have any off the wall photos or videos from Derby? Annual Derby Festivities ? I am compiling a parody youtube slideshow/video and could use your help…I am compiling a parody video/slide show that shows the other side of Derby – the drunken mayhem, the mud wrestling, chaos, traffic, and some of the fireworks, crowds…weird.. can you send your off the wall derby photos/videos?

Send them to ddcsubmit@gmail.com along with your written permission to use them. I will not be making any money off of this video. I will be posting it on Youtube for my Derby blog on my website. I will list your name in the info on youtube.

Thanks!

Annnd, enough of the past: Looking to the future:

May 29, 2011 at Saint’s Skybar in Louisville: I”m presenting a fantasy of poetry, pop culture, visual art and body paint! I can’t wait for you to see the five head to toe body paint designs I dreamt up (applied by international fashion designer Genna Yussman) and the two models wearing my poetry in calligraphy by Jen Grove.  In anticipation, we recently did a photo shoot for upcoming fashion magazine Black and Grey by Bil Brown. I’ll be performing with guests Truth B Told, Raanan Hershberg, Jessica Neamon, Mamakitty Southwood and Tony Smith. Pop music, high energy performance poetry, projected abstract videos, a juried art show and more. This is going to be one of the most exciting and sexy events this summer! Don’t miss it! Tickets and more are available now at Brown Paper Ticket, the awesome sustainable and environmentally friendly ticket service. Click Here .   This event will probably sell out and has limited seating, so get your VIP reserved seating areas today for just a couple dollars more per person! Ten percent of proceeds go to Breaking New Grounds, a local non-profit focused on creating jobs with sustainable urban agriculture.

As I move in some new directions and “break new grounds”, I have once again been reminded that people seem to think that I just push forward with ease as I follow my joy and create my heaven on earth. They comment on how easy it comes for me and remark that I am fearless. These are absolute untruths. I work very hard to make things happen. I sacrifice a lot of simple pleasures, stability and other things that most people want in order to achieve the things that I do. I deal with people who wish to attack me because I stand out.  I have to combat (with the help of friends sometimes) doubt, fear, insecurities like everyone.  I have to remind myself of the following: “There will always be opportunities to worry, to fear, to doubt, to hand over my power – but I will not give it. I am responsible for my experience and I plan to enjoy it. ”

I give you all permission to use my mantra if you feel it will help you in facing the difficulties that come our way day to day, tempting us to fear, to doubt, to give in and not claim our birthright, our heaven on earth.  As a whole, we are all only as strong as our weakest brethren.

Love, Light, and blessings to send you through your dreams <3

“At the core of our written universe, there is an infinite sea of ink where a spirit Rose to solidify itself, creating many worlds and beings through out space-time. Finding itself lost in its own stories,  a journey home began.  Upon returning home, a new story arose.  The quest: to find the lost parts of herself that had been scattered across the many stories, calling them to remember their proud birthright and to wield their pens of destiny. Awakened from the dead, Divinity Rose.” – From my forthcoming home page.

So, I’ll be manifesting in Louisville, Kentucky for the Derby Festivities beginning this Saturday at one of the most awesome fireworks shows ever – Thunder Over Louisville! I’ll be rising from the ink along with my first Mate Chris-Rachel Oseland of Palmyran Rebels as space pirates to invade anywhere there’s fun to be had!  X marks the spot Derby Night when I’ll be making a pop debut with my space pirate dancers.

In my world, everything rises from the ink..ink is malleable, and if we remember that – we can remember that we are responsible for directing the movement of the ink  as we write our own stories – Check out this awesome video about how malleable information really is.

Love, light and blessings to send you through your dream!!

A lot of people ask me, “How come things just seem to work for you?”

Aside from a lot of hard work, the answer is Service.

What a wonderful reminder I received from an absolute angel wearing the face of an old man at the post office the other day.

Tall, probably in his seventies, but quite cheerful and very much alive.

He was smiling and chatting as he let the woman with an armful of packages go in front of him. Then he waved me in front of him.

At first I thought he worked there, but then realized he didn’t.

“Are you in line?”

“Yes, but I don’t have anything goin’ on. Looks like you have plenty going on,” he replied as he eyed my handful of things to mail.

I told him that was awfully sweet of him. His reply was so wonderful I had to share it with all of you.

“Well, I like to serve others when I can..and you know what kind of service I get from God?  10 second service.”

I try to convey that message every time I speak to a group or in answer to those who ask me about the victories I find.  When you make those around you a priority, they in turn make you a priority.

I challenge each of you to try this for one month. Try to make a conscious effort to lift up, encourage, and give to those around you for ONE MONTH.  Keep the things your heart desires in mind, but actively see how you can help others.  In One month, tell me how much has opened up for you and how much you notice just “arriving” in your life.

Please pass this on through facebook, myspace, email…

Some upcoming news:

I’ve agreed to have a table and perform at Fright Night Film Festival in July in Louisville, Kentucky.

Pick up a copy of the LEO this week! There’s a profile piece about me in there!!!

We’re shooting another Zombie Round up video  on May 22. It’s a one year anniversary celebration for being at Diamonds Pub and Billiards and for making our zombie and cowgirl video. We will need zombies! Contact me if you would like to be in this video.  It will be released at our anniversary zombie round up party on June 26 at Diamond Pub and Billiards.

May 1, we are hosting a huge Space Derby Disco in honor of Global Love Day and the Ky Derby.  Don’t miss it

First, let us go up, shall we?

I was able to shoot an experimental film with a friend for my poem “Keys to Broken Dreams” – it was a lot of fun and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Donavan is a wrestler, and he  was great to work with.   We shot at the waterfront park  near the Tumbleweed.

Donavan was a really good sport. The set up for this scene really took a lot of patience from him just laying there as we set up everything around him.

Cody was my assistant, and he did a great job.

My pal Norm (from last week’s video) was kind enough to let us use his apartment and mirrors for this  scene.

Now, everybody hold your hands up and scream as we take the roller coaster downward!

The brakes went out on my RV. I haven’t been able to drive it and won’t until they are fixed. My super mechanic has been too busy to be able to look at it.

Now lean back as we head up again: I have a friend coming to look at the brakes . In the meantime, I’ve been busy planning and have completed the cast and crew for an upcoming Doomsday Lover video to be shot next month. Oh yeah! Be prepared to be amazed.

And back down again: Due to the brakes being out and other circumstances, Cody and I missed Thunder over Louisville this year.

If you aren’t familiar with the term, it is the huge air and fireworks show that kicks off two weeks of Derby festivities every year. 7-800,ooo people turn out for it.

The fireworks last for half an hour, and the show is the largest in North America. Here’s just a small clip shot by my friend Anna A.K.A. Super Geek ( ohhh, she’s a super geek, super geek, she’s super geeky):

upside: To make up for it, we made our own personal thunder.

And terrifyingly downward: I was working yesterday on the computer when I heard Cody screaming outside like he was being attacked…I thought for sure a dog was mauling him. I ran outside to see what was going on, and I couldn’t find him anywhere… I yelled for him a couple times… Turns out he had taken his dog next door into the neighbors yard where Chase found a small kitten and picked it up in his mouth before taking off with it. Thankfully, the kitten was fine – just really pissed off…and with good reason.

Sooo, in the ups and downs where are you? Are you enjoying the ride? Where do you keep your focus? On the ups? On the downs? Or do you run around in a tshirt that says “bissfully unaware”?
