"the point you let go...

and stop looking

 for confirmation from

everyone...

will be when you finally

believe in yourself....

YOU are in CONTROL!"

8 SEASONS - Recognize 5

Listen to this... Do you constantly look to others for approval? Or perhaps you just expect people to care and see things the way that you do? Well I'm sure you know this, but you will never be able to please everyone. Even though you may be nodding your head reading this, thinking "duh! Who doesn't know that?!"  I will have you know that the grouchiest most angry people are guilty of this. Why do you think they are always frowning. Because they spend most of their time thinking that they know everything. So they are mad at the world because they have tried to please everyone and continue running into the same obstacles. A lot of their anger and dissatisfaction comes from attempting to get approval and failing.

The day you let go and stop looking for conformation from everyone, will be the day you start believing in yourself. Once you realize that YOU are in control...the sky is the limit.  Or As I like to say

NO CEILINGS!

The Key to all of this is simply controlling ONLY the things you can truly control. Lets say you run a business and have managers that just don't get it and are not supporting you. Being a Leader means putting on your big drawers (that's what we say in the South means "Man Up") and start training and developing your team. At times you may have to regroup and get NEW people who will support you. But you have to make that choice.  You can run around doing everything on your own OR your can build your team to support you and do things BETTER than you could on you own. By the way...this goes for personal home life as well reread and insert Husband/Wife for managers. Except for the get NEW part... don't give up you're love. Often the tools we use to make us better people can have duel purposes. (DIG THAT?!)Get focused and do everything you can, to make the results that you want happen. Happiness and satisfaction are the results of good choices, Positive communication and patience. And trusting that God is living in you. So stop being that grouchy person that ruins everyone's day and RECOGNIZE you are in control!

NEW JERSEY

IN THIS EP. OF THE HUMBY'S 

Burto Humby is battling with the  polluted, unionized heat of the arm bit of America, New Jersey. Burto is still new to the area, and is realizing his new addiction of a fountain drink called Duff Cola. His daughter Alaky joins him for a summer of sweat, wet shorts and heat exhaustion. Can Burto make the summer fun for himself and his daughter? Will his bitching spree take him over the edge? Will North Jersey try to ravage his every move? 

Find out in the next ep. of THE HUMBY'S

Season 4 is just getting in SYNC. Now that you have your direction and worked out the bugs, and can breathe again. It is time to start believing that you can do anything that you put your mind to.  I absolutely love this season. I laugh at myself, when I look in the mirror with tears rolling down. There used to be a time when I  would begin to speak the negative thoughts out loud. (NEVER DO THAT BY THE WAY)  I would make an excuse for any and everything just to appease myself. Going as far as convincing myself that it was ok to feel sorry... it's like saying "yea... GO ahead and enjoy that pity party... everyone needs a good cry."  I shake my head and giggle at how often I would feed into the fear. Believe me there is NO need to have a  pitty party when you have God in your heart and mind. You just have to tell all that negativity and Fear.

Listen!! it is NOT going down like that...not today!

NOT ANYMORE!

 Don't get me wrong, you will still be up against obstacles and have challenges daily. But by saying YES! instead of CAN'T guess what? ALWAYS give your VERY BEST & YOU WILL! 

Please enjoy the clip from a very inspiring movie called "Facing The Giants" If you have not seen this in it's entirety I encourage you to do so right away.

Cookies

Browsing facebook today, I noticed that they show adverts on the side of the screen. Fair enough, I thought. But then I read it. "looking for a mattress? Click here!"

The thing is, I was looking for a mattress. About two weeks ago. So how did they know? I realised of course - Cookies.

But now it's got me worried.

About three weeks ago, my mate was looking to rent a van. So I searched online for a van. Also, around the same time, I was looking for a new mattress. Fine so far. But here's the rub: I also bought some duct tape to fix something until I can get a new one. And not only that, but about a week ago, I also looked online for a spade as my garden needed doing.

"So what's wrong with that?" I dont hear you ask, but assume you want to know anyway.

Well, think about it. What if, right now, someone went missing on my street? They check everywhere else, and finally get to me. They look at my computer, and see Ive recently been looking at hiring a van, buying a mattress, duct tape, and a spade.

This, along with my recent kindle purchases about serial killers, would surely raise alarmbells. My quite innocent explanations would fall on deaf ears, a Jury would find me guilty, and I'd become the plaything of "Big Dave" in C wing.

Theyd also see that I had clicked on a "gardening tool cleaning" website. Proof, they'd say, that Id clicked onto the website to have the spade cleaned professionaly to hide any DNA evidence - and not from the genuine expanation of my late night googling of "dirty hoes"

CHILLING IS AN

ART DE VIVRE

We are a collective of Artists: producers, singers, visual artists etc

Melanie Chisholm

I thought crushes were something you had when you were 13.

You know, you'd pass them a note in a science lesson, give them awkward eye contact, and before you knew it you'd be going out, declaring your undying love for them.

Then you'd finger her at a house party, and she'd dump you the next day because you'd stupidly got caught high-fiving all your mates about it.

Then she'd go out with the popular asshole, who you hate, just to get back at you.

And then you'd end up broken-hearted, in a daze, outside, in your pants, in the rain, crying.

Let it go Kier, let it go...

Anyway, imagine my shock, at 28, for becoming completely obsessed with Mel C.

I didnt like her when she was in the spice girls. She was, let's be honest, a bit "ming." 

Yes, she had girl power. (Never understood that. Not exactly Xray vision or the ability to fly is it? "Look, i have a vagina! Well... good for you.") but wasnt the best looking out of them was she? She was the nicola roberts of her day.

(for any of you interested, my official order was Emma, Geri, Posh, Mel B, Mel C)

But man, how times have changed.

I just need to get her to a house party...

Microwave Meals

As the credit crunch hit, many UK companies that we knew and love went bust. Woolworths. Gone. Clinton cards. Gone. La Senza - although not a shop Ive ever shopped in, but did enjoy the window displays, admittedly - Gone. 

It was all a bit depressing.

But let's look at the bright side. There are certain group of companies that are thriving, and showing record profits. Like the ones who make microwave meals for example.

Now we all know the kind of people who eat these things. Sad, lonely, pathetic people. People who, If I drew a chart, would show a strong correlation between the sort of people that buy microwave meals, and the type of people who are likely to kill either themselves, their wives, or any number of the local prostitutes.

My freezer is full of them. (Microwave meals, not prostitutes)

Its not that I cant be bothered to cook. No. its more like my self esteem is so low that i feel i simply dont deserve tender loin or fresh brocolli. I am not worthy of fresh food. You are what you eat, they say, so I eat a grey, dismal mush that signifies my life of grey, dismal mush.

Another surprising industry that is showing record profits is the "adult" market. It seems while the economy crumbles around us, we're all at home crying into our ready meals and wanking. 

The credit crunch hasnt really affected me at all.

EXHALE

8 - season's - Exhale 3

At this point in your 8 seasons, you've decided to step closer to happiness and away from disapointment. The epiphany of your life's goal is clear. Next you have chosen to eliminate the mad insanity cycle that you once call your life. Guess what time it is now?

It is now time to really get focused. Now you have to choose to be dedicated to this journey. Commit yourself to the goal you've set and then EXHALE.

This week I decided to schedule meditation times for clearing my thoughts. Most importantly to talk to God and expressing my love not only HIM but for me. The love you have for your self is the only way to get centered. Everything starts with you.

MUSIC IS THE KEY

When ever I get overwhelmed or just need to relax. I listen to music. During this time when you are running in circles and fighting the fight, I suggest listening to the lyrics in the songs below. 



Adelle sings about transition and making change. Following a path the leads nowhere is just the beginning. Her chorus says "should I give up OR should I just keep chasing pavements... even if it leads nowhere"  Often we choose to fear the unknown and are resistant to change, but that is part of the struggle.



I'm sure that you can take this song in many directions but in focusing on the 2nd season called INSANITY. I think it works in well. We have to decide when enough is enough. If you are unhappy you have to choose to be happy. If you are hurt you have to want to heal.  But the hardest part of moving forward is letting go.

I love so many of India Arie's songs but this on tells you just what to do. GET IT TOGETHER

MARGULIES AT 

The studio pop up experiment otherwise known as 'STUDIO WORLD' was a success. I want to thank AID FOR AIDS for getting me involved and we were able to sell over ten original small scale artworks to benefit the organization. I would also like to thank my agent Michael Margulies for inviting his family for joining us. It was an honor to have Martin Margulies stopping by and seeing my work in person. Thanks again to everyone that bought artwork and those that stuck around till we closed. Btw, check out todays Miami Herald article on Martin Margulies art collection
