Sleepless in Charleston again(phone blog)

Hello to another wake up at 4am. This ticks me off to no end!
I really need to go back to taking my amino acid that helps me chill down and sleep at night.
GI Joe and I went to a movie and talked for seven hours so Things are moving a nice pace. I enjoy his company- you think?! He knows I am looking to take things slow and start at the friends first platform and see where things go. It feels like the ball is in my court but I don't want to be the one calling the shots all of the time however I have been such a scared squirrel about this situation I am surprised he even gives me the time of day. Next date- he suggested cooking me dinner at my place and Sci Fi. I am thinking of asking him to see a play with me. I'm not ready for the house date yet even though he's been there without me there(see past blog). I really want to take things slowly. I'm not even sure what this is yet and don't want to lead anyone (including myself) on.

My weight spiked up because I fell off the tracking and walking wagon. Back on track tomorrow at the gym. I hope it isn't the biggest loser bad. I have this feeling that I may wind up in traction on Tuesday.

I finally got my name in lights!

Image
I did it!  I got my name up in lights on a marquee after 1 year of working very hard to be heard in the Philly music scene!   Last year at the Dewey Beach Music Conference, I set the intention to the owner that I would see her next year and that I'd be performing.   I remember her saying to me "OK."(and the tone was "Who is this chick?!")  But one year later, I saw folks noticing my name on the sign while I was waiting to perform my original songs to a packed house at Jimmy's Grille in Dewey Beach, DE. I know it wasn't SXSW or the Grammy's yet but I had arrived in my own personal achievement.  This was a challenge that I took on and did it out of pocket and sheer grit and determination.   Manifestation works when you put yourself to work.   I didn't just wish on a star and hope to get selected.   I took to getting out to the local music venues, networked my tail off, played out and practiced all year long.  2 weeks before I was abou

Oops I Did It Again!

Image
A coaching colleague of mine just called me out yesterday! I was filling her in on what was going on in the last few months.  I shared that I worked myself into the energy point of no return.  I was burning out.   She quickly pointed out that at the same time last year, I was telling her a similar story about how I hustled so hard I needed to take a break.  She highlighted that it appears that August is the season for slowing down.  But I shouldn't be working so hard until I'm at the brink of burn out AGAIN.   Oops! I did it again.  I got lost in the game.     What's interesting is that we focus on bad habits like smoking, over eating, negative self talk but I think we forget that how we work can also be a habit that needs close attention.   My name is Joyel Crawford and I'm a workaholic. I hustle until I can't flow no mo.   Building your own business is not easy or cheap.  I learned that for 18 years I had the support of an international bra

His profile bragged that he was a bad boy who works for the Government so he's not a stalk
