New Idea!

Lately I have been getting some feedback from people about my channel.

One such comment was that I am not entertaining. I wanted to elaborate on that and share my thoughts about that comment. It was commented by one of my closest friends. It sort of hurt but then I got to thinking about it and I realized something.

Youtube is not my first priority. 

I have so much going on right now. I work full time. I am working on a few arrangement projects. I am busy with my synagogue. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. My birthday is coming up. Let's face it, I am one busy lady. 

I still plan to stick with Youtube but I need to do things differently and learn how to edit my videos. I am going to try out Filmora and see how that works. I plan to add a blooper reel with a clapper board to make it fun. I am still doing the concert series but with less talking. I plan to prepare more videos ahead of time. I also have like 6-10 videos waiting to be uploaded. 

I know there is a lot to work on and improve on but it all happens very slowly. I appreciate how much time it takes to do Youtube. I did not understand just how much work goes into this. Now that I understand I need to plan accordingly. Once the holidays are over I should have a better schedule of things. For right now one video a week is as good as I can do and this should be good enough. 

As far as my friends comment is concerned, I don't really care. My channel will evolve as time goes on and I will become a better musician in the process. In the end I do Youtube and music for me. I do it for my sanity. It is my anti-depressant. If I can share my gift with just one person then I have achieved my basic goal.

If anyone has any ideas or comments please feel free to try to reach out to me. Constructive criticism is always welcome but bashing and bullying is not allowed on any of my social media pages/profiles/channel.

New Setup and other news.

I have a new bed in my room so my desk was downsized. I am loving my new room. However this will require some adjusting to make room for recording.

I am working on 5 other pieces so I won't be recording much. I still should post my older videos.

Here is the most recent.

Degrassi Season 14 and my Reflections

So far things have gone as expected. It is still emotional to watch. The trailer for this season has said it all. Claire is my hero. She has been through so much and she has Eli to help her stay strong.

Over the last couple of weeks I have learned who my true friends are. Who my Eli's are. I have three awesome friends that are always on the line. I took that for granted for some weird reason. I have learned to stick to what makes me happy. I will always play music and serve at my synagogue. That is what makes me happy. No matter what is happening in my life those things have been my constants.

This blog will take a different turn. I plan to make this all about my Youtube Channel.

Thank you all for watching,

*rumble* the business of the stomach is directly correlated to money....

I'm not talking about the thunder. I'm talking about my stomach. Until today I didn't know what it was like to go hungry for a day and not know where your next gas money will come from. We live in such uncertain times. I never thought I would be hit so hard. Work is scarce even if you have a job.

Here I am writing about a feeling that some people have every day. Who am I to talk if others are in a worse place. As the saying goes. If you think things are bad in your life its always worse for someone else. I don't remember who said it or the exact wording but I think you get the picture.

I hate that feeling in the pit of your stomach. Growling and rumbling away as it churns at your breakfast and prepares for your lunch. But what if you didn't have breakfast or lunch. Then your stomach lets out a loud growl like a lion that hasn't had prey in days or a bear that just woke from its slumber.

In any case, I have a potential money bucket coming my way. Soon I hope. But for me work is more than the money. I have discovered that one of my many missions in life is to make sure that customer service is at its best. I have observed at many stores and restaurants that the people that were hired to serve feel like they can talk to their clients-I prefer the term guests-in any way they please. Thus they loose business really quickly.

Losing business is like being hungry. You have so much you wish to give but no one to give it to. Thus so much food you would like to taste and no money to buy it.

Fiona Coyne : Degrassi C&C

Fiona Coyne is one of the characters in Degrassi that I could relate to in a different way than all the other characters. She is a fighter. She is dealing with a temptation to drink. I don't drink but I can relate in terms of other types of addictions. She feels alone a lot. I can definitely say that I feel like that sometimes too. Especially this year. I had a falling out with my friends from last semester. Now I am virtually alone on campus everyday. I have three close friends that I rarely see.

Fiona is dealing with a similar situation in that all her friends are graduating and she's not. She is left alone at Degrassi. It is nice to see her around.

She is very beautiful. Her eyes are beautiful. I get that a lot myself. Now to get the makeup just right. She is rich and that is not something I wish I had because things would be too easy. I don't like scraping by the its the only way that will make you work harder to EARN the money you have which makes you more grateful for what you have.

Fiona is a lesbian. Obviously I'm not and never will be. But I think she is constantly discovering new things about herself and the lesbian thing might change. It makes her look like she became a lesbian because of the abusive relationship rather than the way she feels inside. I think that was a misstep on the producers part.

I really want to see what will happen with her.
