January 29th, 2000: So Good

For this 19th episode I we are transported to the year 2000! This entry is called "So Good" and it's right on time because I am just coming off a monster performance and speaking engagement run and this entry was about me just starting to dip my toe in the performance arts and it's so cool to see how far I've come and that some of the same joys and principles remain.  It's also fuel for me to KEEP GOING!!  I have so much more I want to do and be, this reminds me to continue going after my dreams, I hope it does the same for you! For that and so many other reasons,  I'm not giving up on my talents, ever, and I hope you don't either, God is so good!   Key themes from reflection on this entry:   ·  Put yourself in position to see what can be and expose yourself to things that are different or BIGGER than what you are used to. ·  Your dream is tied to someone else's destiny. ·  Friends who support you matter, keep those people as your tribe. · Small gestures can lead to so much more, feel it out, but be open and say yes!  · Some things remain the same and it's so cool to be living a brand that was built so long ago knowing that these pivotal moments felt small, but they led to who I have become and who I am still becoming.  · The overwhelming joy that comes from having a body of work is something I wish all creatives could experience.  Good news, we can! ·  Next episode is our season finale!! I give a little sneak peak on what it will be at the end of this episode.   Queens are born, and if you look back you'll see your royal traits all a long.   - What have been some of the pivotal moments in your life that may have seemed small or insignificant at the time?   - What is your brand, is it built?  When did it start?  Author, poet, spoken word artist and emcee Opal Ellyse has been keeping handwritten journals since 1995.  Each week she shares an entry and ties it to current events and relevant topics of conversation.  Royalty is living in your legacy while you're still here.  Understanding your past and bridging it to the present (and future) is a gift.  Join Opal as she shares wisdom from the past as it becomes present day epiphany and a blueprint for all that is next.  Enjoy! www.opalellyse.com Music: DJ Pain 1
