And Still Growing...

 

I have been really spending alot of time taking dance classes and writing.  My girlfriend, Joy Liani, and I have been working on some projects that I can't wait to start pitching to some Networks.  Some pretty funny stuff!  You guys would be proud of me!  I have been getting back in shape and just really working on my growth and development as a person.  I haven't been working but am looking for work.  I just really need a job that can work around my busy schedule and that can be hard to find.  But my projects are an investment in my future and most important on my list right now.  Life has it's ups and downs, but I have been trying to only find the ups in it.  I've been going to church and really just working on my spiritual being in this world and preparing it for the after life. 

I have still been really trying to grasp the whole idea of being 26.  It's interesting getting older, ya know?  Especially when your not where you would like to be at this point in time in your life.  I am thinking about going back to school, but I don't know.  What I want to happen is for these projects to be my way.  It's what I want to REALLY do with the rest of my life and it would be nice to be able to make a living doing what you love.  Such a rare thing in life.  But I am determined to make it happen. 

Today I have three dance classes to go to: 5:00, 6:00 and 8:00, so I should be pretty tired by the end of the day.

Besides all of that, I am excited about going home to visit next month.  You know I want to stay atleast two weeks, maybe even more.  Just really go home and realize why I'm here in LA again.  Alot of my friends are moving out here soon.  Dennis is moving here and Nate is moving back.  Pretty exciting.

Oh how can I forget!  Remember my Diana Ross story?  Well, guess who was at my church a week ago?  Stevie Wonder!!!  Okay, I know he was there before but this time he gave a testimony and performed a song!  Dude, only in LA can you praise God and get a free concert at the same time!!!  His testimony was about his wife.  He had lost a wife before and is now re-married.  His wife today was diagnosed for cancer and he prayed with all faith that it will be taken from her...And when they went to the doctor again it was gone!  They couldn't find the cancer.  He was all teary eyed and everything!  Wow!  It was awesome.  You know it's crazy right because I always knew that Stevie was blind, but YO' STEVIE IS REALLY BLIND!!!!  I mean watching him walk around and fill for stuff brings it to a reality.  he so talented and so bomb that at times you think "Is he lying" LOL...Not really, but you know what I mean.  But he is REALLY blind!

Anyways, I need to go and visit all of you good people so I need to end this entry.  But let me go by saying that growth is continous!  Even when you think your grown there is so much to still learn. Continue to grow physically and spiritually and be the best person that you can be with God's assistance. 

Be peace and love.  Emani
