How Vocal Media Helped Me Write A Book
I don’t know about you, but I have so many books inside me just bursting to get out. One of my greatest fears is that I will die one day with the words trapped inside of me, lost forever. On my wall is a giant sticky note with titles of books I am working on. Some I am still formulating in my head, others I have actually begun getting words onto paper.

The American Dream
Last year, when I visited my grandpa Stephen Pavelka, he was in his backyard carrying plywood and organizing his treasures for a weekend yard sale, in which he conducts every weekend, especially during the summer. He told me, he spends hours stripping wires to recycle the copper during the winter to make ends meet. He is a retired Army master sergeant who served in the Vietnam War. He is a short stocky man, but strong as an ox, and a role model for my work ethic. It is this drive that runs through my blood as well, it was the same blood that ran through the immigrants, and migrant workers that made America what it is today. Miguel is right when he says anyone can get ahead in America if they just work hard.

My B.E. Moment
While I sat waiting in the rotunda, my brain went into overload. Random thoughts. Questions. What ifs. Remember to smile and be friendly, I tell myself. Look confident, but not too confident, or you’ll end up looking arrogant. Is my shirt tucked in? Did I manage to get those curls on the side to look less nappy? As if they’d even notice. Would they notice? As much as I told myself ‘don’t be nervous’ my body didn’t listen. It wouldn’t be the last time that it would ignore my commands on that day. I looked through my notes again, trying to rehearse answers that wouldn’t seem rehearsed. Despite what it may have looked like, I felt prepared. I felt ready.

9 Traits of Successful People
Success leaves clues. The late Dr Myles Munroe once said: “People generally fall into one of three groups:The few who make things happen.The many who watch things happenThe overwhelming majority who have no notion of what happens.Every person is either a creator of fact or a creature of circumstance. He either puts color into his environment, or, like a chameleon, takes color from his environment.”

Make Winning A Habit
We often feel like failures in life when we struggle to achieve something but we fail. We may even feel that at times that the odds are stacked against us. We need to remember the familiar saying that, “failures are the stepping stones to success”. Every failure gives us an opportunity to learn from our mistakes. In order to perfect anything in life we need to know the best way in which it can be done. It is only after an artist has learned all that he or she needs to know about art by practicing regularly, can they do a great piece of art.

Don't Give Up Your Poetry
Existence. Being-ness. Reality. Mindfulness. Presence. Universal Time. Whatever you call it, this Force we call Life has an inimitable way of standing silently behind us, removing its hands from our eyes, and revealing the unexpected to us in the most curious of ways. Its gloved hands fly away from our eyes!

A Creative Lifestyle Needs Structure
Many creative people scoff at the idea of structuring their creative life. They believe that a creative lifestyle needs to be a free form; a fluid life. They feel that placing structure on their lives will place their art inside of a box. The problem is, adding structure to your creative lifestyle does not mean adding structure to your art.

The Value of An Ideas Notebook
It's been almost a month since I subscribed to MasterClass -- thank you to MasterClass for offering a 2-for-1 deal, and thank you to my Mom for making the dream come true! (It's been on my bucket list for over two years now, but I continued to let the price stop me ... less than a month in, and I can confidently say it is ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE INVESTMENT, and I will be subscribing every year for the rest of my life!)
