Hello again to everyone out there. I sincerely hope you and all your loved ones are doing well.  I just wanted to chime in briefly as we are here at the end of another year. I know I haven’t been posting on my blog as much lately. We all go through different phases in our journey. There are times when I feel inspired to write for weeks and months at a time. Then there are times when life is happening so fast that I feel it is best to give all the wild occurrences taking place in the world time to digest in my brain and my thoughts time to process. Let the story continue to play itself out and see what else happens. You hope for the best but also plan for the worst. Right now, I’m more in a learning phase regarding some of the applications that I need to use to create the kind of content that I want to create. Once I’m more focused on that, I usually can get the hang of that type of thing pretty swiftly. I am actually eager for people to hear what I’ve been working on lately. If the sounds are enticing, enthralling, and exciting. The visuals have to match that same level of energy. I need to be able to follow up consistently, as a creator should.  There are a lot of words you could use to describe 2024, and one of those words is traumatic. Trauma takes time to process, especially when the trauma is still taking place. Due to ever-advancing modern technology, there has never been a time in history when we have been exposed to so much traumatic imagery so frequently. It’s the equivalent of watching 9-11 happen every day. By no means do I think that technology is a bad thing; quite the contrary. This is part of our growth as a species. I do know that some of our modern technologies do take a heavy toll on our resources and the environment. I am of the belief that if it is a good technology that benefits us, you don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, but we do need to find more efficient ways to run them. Things are going to change; things have to change. If things don’t change, we are not going to be here. This endless cycle of consumption and waste accumulation in the oceans and landfills is not going be sustainable for much longer. We are reaching a tipping point. When we have the discussion of healing the environment, try to keep in mind that there is only a handful of companies worldwide responsible for the vast majority of the damage. Roughly about 100. While the most vulnerable people are the ones who are most impacted. This fuels migration. Spend all the money you want on deportation. If people don’t have anywhere to go, they will risk their lives again to return. Then, we’re caught in a cycle of spending money and resources on trying to resolve a problem without addressing the root cause. We do want to be informed about what is happening in the world. Technology has made the world smaller, so no matter where something happens on the globe, it affects everyone. We have to learn how to consume this traumatizing media while preserving our mental health. As much as we need to study history, we must study the present to know where we are going and accurately calculate our trajectory. I have my own beliefs, and current events seem to align with things I’ve been taught. Time will tell. It can be challenging to know how to approach entries into this blog. When no matter what is going I try to find the positive side of the situation. Every day of life is a precious gift and should never be taken casually or for granted. Spiritual health is essential due to that institutions and organizations, like governments and religions. While not inherently bad, they can be infiltrated, and the people within them are often easily corruptible.  My point is that when things go sideways or even completely off the rails. Your mind doesn’t fall into a state of despair. If you have some belief in something bigger than ourselves, you will always maintain a sense of hope for a brighter future. Now, this is not about me. While I have my own struggles and challenges, I will always be able to go home at the end of the day and enjoy all the comforts of a modern society. A wise young man once said I’m doing and getting better. There are people right now, many of them children, who are hungry and freezing and cannot do anything about it. As hard as my life has been, I’ve never been in that situation. More or less, this is my hope for a brighter day for us all. If you are not subscribed to her, Bisan from Gaza is one of the more critical vlogs to follow for, at the very least, to understand the situation from someone actually living through it. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and I am not only referring to one situation because there are people suffering all over the globe. It is my hope that 2025 can be a year of health, healing, critical thinking, and greater understanding. Personally, I believe that 2025 can be a transformative year full of growth and progression. No matter what is happening around you, you must keep advancing the ball forward. While I haven’t posted blogs as much in my free time, I’ve been putting my creative energy into making new songs. This written blog is one of the hardest things that I do; it consumes a lot of energy. I’m focusing on the music because I think I communicate a lot better when I’m playing.  I’m taking online courses to master the different software applications I need to create my animation and motion graphics. So that I can add that visual aspect to every song so that I can make every piece of content count and eventually develop it into a premium level product. I believe I can create something that has a positive impact. I think people need this. I know lately I’ve been searching for media to help ease my brain and help me feel better. Now, while it won’t happen right on January 1 like I would like it to, my music vlog will be live in 2025. I’ve also started my self-publishing journey and am creating some digital products, like e-books, journals, and templates. While no online business is completely passive, this one seems to offer the highest level of freedom that I do desire. I wish to publish in a positive, uplifting, inspirational style of media. Then, create a company with a mission to help people achieve their overall well-being. I’ll get deeper into all that later. Just know that if you don’t hear from me, it’s only because I’m busy working on other projects. In the near future, I will have more free time and be more consistent with my communication. As the year ends, I wanted to swoop in and say hello. All in all, I have to say 2024 definitely had its ups and downs. If it was a good year for you, I congratulate you; keep it up. If it wasn’t, 2025 is a fresh new start. I wish you all success, happiness, joy, and much Love, as always. We all need that in our lives. Stay tuned for more surprises to come soon. Happy New Year!
