Dec 5, 07 - 7:33 PM Happy Holidays To All...
Hello to all my lovely fans and friends from all over the World.
It's been a tough year for our Planet, but as this holiday season draws close, I would like to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and a bright new year.
I am ending this year with more activity than I have had most of this year. I am producing a project that I have written with Old Bear and I will be co- directing it in early 2008. It is a project that is very close to my heart and I know most of you will find the topic fascinating and informative.
I will keep you all posted and you will soon enough know about our project.
I want to thank all the dedicated folks who have worked so hard to keep this site going, I know it was it's 4th birthday not long ago and It pleases me to know this site has real direction now and I love the kind of folks who come here to support me and all the charities I endorse.
I like to thank RRF and Fontenel and all the Jaybirds who donated of their time and money. It is all truly appreciated.
I know 2008 will be an interesting year and I look forward to all that is ahead for us all.
The Apache's have a wonderful but short prayer, Goo Zhoo Dash...
It means, "let all good things happen", as we surrender to the will of something higher, let it be with good faith and with a belief that a higher will is at work, so keep your dreams alive and no matter how impossible it may seem today, tomorrow is a new day, so get up and live your dream!
With all my heart

Happy Holidays to you also Jay and to yours and of course to everyone here in Jayland!!! Your project sounds very exciting and I wish the very best for you and Old Bear with it.
Yes 2007 was and still is a tough year but trials will either kill you or make you stronger. We all are survivors here, lol, so we continue on believing that better things are on the horizon.

Good morning,
And Merry Christmas to you too Jay (and all of Jaybird land). I pray that your production (along with Old Bear) will go smoothly. I can't wait to hear more about it (and see it). How exciting to co-direct something that you have already put yourself into. To see it take "on a life of its own", and grow.
As for 2008, it will be the first time in over 5 years that I won't be in school (though I plan on completing some language classes, as well as some new ones (like furthering the little I know on Cherokee language)). And of course, I'll be back here more often as well.....AS I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL.
I want to thank those that have prayed for me while I have been in school. I have "walked through fire", many a time, while trying to complete my degree. And if you can't tell, I'M SO EXCITED to be graduating next week. New Orleans, here I come.
Blessings to all,
Sea~

Goo Zhoo Dash right back at you too, dear Chief, and to everyone in Jayland. Thank you especially for your warm encouragement to keep our dreams alive in the last paragraph of your post.
I can't wait to hear more about your and Old Bear's project. I know it will be magnificent, whatever it is.
Here is a poem I found, to commemorate your project and the 4 year anniversary of this site:
The Track of the Sun
across the Sky
leaves its shining message,
Illuminating,
Strengthening,
Warming
us who are here,
showing us we are not alone,
we are yet ALIVE!
And this fire
Our fire
Shall not die!
-Atoni (Choctaw)

Abundant blessings and Happy Holidays to all,

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all the Jaybirds out there in Jayland!!!!!
I wanted to thank all of you on here that has given me so much support and a listening ear to all my crap, strange as though these rants seemed.
I have to tell ya, you guys are part of the people in my life thas lifted my spirits, and it's people like you that make me look forward to the new year, new life, and new people.
It's been a hell of a year for me and mine, and I thank God everyday for people such as yourselves for lifting me up.Too often I have been behind this keyboard with a downtrodden heart, and just as often I walk away with my spirits lifted.
This is the greatest gift a girl could have for Christmas.
Besides Christ's birth, of course.
So, in the spirit of giving, you guys have inspired me to make music out of all of this. Hopefully these beats will be done by the new year. I'm not selling them, I'm giving them. Music is a gift, and that is a gift to all of you that have inspired, comforted, and in some ways, HEALED my heart.
I'll let ya know when I'm done.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL!!!

We don't have something special.
A friend is coming over for diner tonight.
Last year was his first time that he had diner at our house. He lives all by himself and he had nothing to do on 1st Christmas day. I didn't like the idea of him being alone, so I called him and asked if he would like to come over.
This year we asked him again, LOL.
Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday, we will have diner at my parents house and the day after that, it's my brothers birthday...very busy.

To me, Christmas is a time of sharing, caring, giving, love, hope, embracing traditions and enjoying family and friends. . . I think everyone can basically "dig" that. . . right? LOL!

Jan 2nd, 2008 - 4:35 AM My New Year's gift to you
When I wrote my Christmas greeting, I had fully intended on penning a song/beat as a thank you for all the Jaybirds that have been in my spiritual corner. And I was ALMOST finished.
But something changed.
In the music world, nothing is set in stone. The things a musician means to write or play tends to change like the weather. And most of the time it's unexpected.
This was no exception.
Remember the the person I was dating that I talked about on here(the one with the parents that don't like me because I'm..well...whatever...look it up lol)? He decides to spend New year's Eve with my friends and I. We had the night planned: Gonna go to dinner, then hang out at the hookah bar and dance the night away, meeting people there and having a great time.
Then Denny calls me.
"Yo, why don't you bring your cello tonight? I feel like jammin'."
Of course.
We never made it to the bar.
After the ball dropped, Denny decides that he wants to jam. And record it. We play a few songs, jot down some ideas, as everyone else was chillin' in the living room watching tv and chatting up. I then decided that I wanted to record something. I have written a few songs on guitar. I am self-taught, so my guitar playing is very limited. But I wanted to lay it down anyway. I proceeded to teach Denny the song so I could overdub it with cello. He heard me play it and says,"I think you need to do this one on your own."
"Closure" was the result.
I played for all of us that have lost, gained,slipped or fell the past year. I played for all the pain and pleasure we have experienced. I played for the wisdom gained from such deep lessons, and for the wisdom we will gain in the future. I played for those that I loved and for those I hated. I played for those that had nothing and everything. I played for the known and unknown. I played for healing. I played for sickness.
I played for you.
I played for a closing chapter in life, and played for a new chapter opening.
That's what 2008 is for me, and as it should be for all of us.
So...this is my gift to you. I had something else in mind, but this is more....spiritually appropriate...this is my Spirit speaking, telling you that I thank you and love you all. Go to my page You can download it if you wish. It's not perfect, but it is honest and open. I don't need any feedback, just take a listen, burn it, do whatever. Again, this is my gift to you. I hope it brings you comfort, peace, and most of all CLOSURE in listening to it as much as it did me playing it.
Happy New Year everyone.

Goo Zhoo Dash right back at you too, dear Chief, and to everyone in Jayland. Thank you especially for your warm encouragement to keep our dreams alive in the last paragraph of your post.
I can't wait to hear more about your and Old Bear's project. I know it will be magnificent, whatever it is.
Here is a poem I found, to commemorate your project and the 4 year anniversary of this site:
The Track of the Sun
across the Sky
leaves its shining message,
Illuminating,
Strengthening,
Warming
us who are here,
showing us we are not alone,
we are yet ALIVE!
And this fire
Our fire
Shall not die!
-Atoni (Choctaw)

Abundant blessings and Happy Holidays to all,

Hi Jay and Everybody!
Jay you have changed my life by just being you, and doing what you, and creating this place. I started trying to name all of the great peeps I've met here, but I'd forget some one, and the list would be too long. So I'll just say "Blessings be upon all of thee."

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all the Jaybirds out there in Jayland!!!!!
I wanted to thank all of you on here that has given me so much support and a listening ear to all my crap, strange as though these rants seemed.
I have to tell ya, you guys are part of the people in my life thas lifted my spirits, and it's people like you that make me look forward to the new year, new life, and new people.
It's been a hell of a year for me and mine, and I thank God everyday for people such as yourselves for lifting me up.Too often I have been behind this keyboard with a downtrodden heart, and just as often I walk away with my spirits lifted.
This is the greatest gift a girl could have for Christmas.
Besides Christ's birth, of course.
So, in the spirit of giving, you guys have inspired me to make music out of all of this. Hopefully these beats will be done by the new year. I'm not selling them, I'm giving them. Music is a gift, and that is a gift to all of you that have inspired, comforted, and in some ways, HEALED my heart.
I'll let ya know when I'm done.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL!!!

Happy Holidays to all of you, whatever holiday you celebrate.
And if you don't celebrate any particular holiday, well it's a day off, right?
Got any special plans?

We don't have something special.
A friend is coming over for diner tonight.
Last year was his first time that he had diner at our house. He lives all by himself and he had nothing to do on 1st Christmas day. I didn't like the idea of him being alone, so I called him and asked if he would like to come over.
This year we asked him again, LOL.
Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday, we will have diner at my parents house and the day after that, it's my brothers birthday...very busy.

Good morning to everyone in Tribe Tavare! I just wanted to wish everyone here a very Merry Christmas today, and I hope you received mostly everything you wanted. And just in case you do not celebrate Christmas, then have a wonderful and safe holiday as well.
To me, Christmas is a time of sharing, caring, giving, love, hope, embracing traditions and enjoying family and friends. . . I think everyone can basically "dig" that. . . right? LOL!
Holla-Holla!

Jan 2nd, 2008 - 4:35 AM My New Year's gift to you
When I wrote my Christmas greeting, I had fully intended on penning a song/beat as a thank you for all the Jaybirds that have been in my spiritual corner. And I was ALMOST finished.
But something changed.
In the music world, nothing is set in stone. The things a musician means to write or play tends to change like the weather. And most of the time it's unexpected.
This was no exception.
Remember the the person I was dating that I talked about on here(the one with the parents that don't like me because I'm..well...whatever...look it up lol)? He decides to spend New year's Eve with my friends and I. We had the night planned: Gonna go to dinner, then hang out at the hookah bar and dance the night away, meeting people there and having a great time.
Then Denny calls me.
"Yo, why don't you bring your cello tonight? I feel like jammin'."
Of course.
We never made it to the bar.
After the ball dropped, Denny decides that he wants to jam. And record it. We play a few songs, jot down some ideas, as everyone else was chillin' in the living room watching tv and chatting up. I then decided that I wanted to record something. I have written a few songs on guitar. I am self-taught, so my guitar playing is very limited. But I wanted to lay it down anyway. I proceeded to teach Denny the song so I could overdub it with cello. He heard me play it and says,"I think you need to do this one on your own."
"Closure" was the result.
I played for all of us that have lost, gained,slipped or fell the past year. I played for all the pain and pleasure we have experienced. I played for the wisdom gained from such deep lessons, and for the wisdom we will gain in the future. I played for those that I loved and for those I hated. I played for those that had nothing and everything. I played for the known and unknown. I played for healing. I played for sickness.
I played for you.
I played for a closing chapter in life, and played for a new chapter opening.
That's what 2008 is for me, and as it should be for all of us.
So...this is my gift to you. I had something else in mind, but this is more....spiritually appropriate...this is my Spirit speaking, telling you that I thank you and love you all. Go to my page You can download it if you wish. It's not perfect, but it is honest and open. I don't need any feedback, just take a listen, burn it, do whatever. Again, this is my gift to you. I hope it brings you comfort, peace, and most of all CLOSURE in listening to it as much as it did me playing it.
Happy New Year everyone.
