“A mistake repeated more than once is a decision.” Amen...

[jacquiewoah-blog]

As artists we are constantly evaluating ourselves…and others. In order to succeed we make many sacrifices such as financial, social, emotional, or physical. I don’t believe in the “tortured artist”. Being an artist can be a hard life, but it doesn’t have to be. If you are mindful of what’s going...

PROMISE YOURSELF To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Thanks Entertainment Central Pittsburgh for the kind article and announcement about the the Brew House Partay this Friday!

Check out the article here: http://entertainmentcentralpittsburgh.com/music/20586/ Last summer, musician Rachel B decamped her Los Angeles address and moved to Pittsburgh. She said, “I came to Pittsburgh on a cross country tour and fell in love with the city and supportive arts community. I packed my bags and moved about two months later. I am learning more and more to trust my gut and something told me to move here. It was a great decision!”  Joining the Traverse City, Michigan native on the cross country move was one of her many musical collaborators Billy Castle, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, whom she met when they were both attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. The two have very different sounds that leave listeners with a unique and multifaceted collection of great songs.A versatile singer, songwriter and keyboardist, she touches on several different genres including pop, dance, soul, and a little touch of jazz. Break It Down is Rachel B’s latest EP, dropping on Feb. 26. One of the EP’s featured tracks is “Get To You.” Another track, “So Good,” is a hot dance song with Rachel B’s outstanding vocals. Former Steeler Chukky Okobi co-wrote the song with Rachel B. and has a featured rap part. Rachel B and Billy Castle, along with Young Fox, are playing the Farewell to the Brew House Party. This is a fun event to pay tribute to a longstanding Pittsburgh institution and say hello to two new additions to our fine city. 8 p.m. BYOB. 2100 Mary St., South Side.

I'm inspired by the depth of Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and the sassy voices and joy of Motown. I admire the showmanship and bossiness of woman of their time like Barabara Streisand and Marilyn Monroe and love the contemporary sounds of Amy Winehouse, Jessie Ware, Corinne Bailey Rae, Joss Stone, BANKS, and Alicia Keys. I believe that good music is good music and will listen to anything atleast once.

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

We can't control others, only our own reaction.

Dear God, On this day I ask You to grant this request. May I know who I am and what I am, Every moment of every day. May I be a catalyst for light and love, And bring inspiration to those whose eyes I meet. May I have the strength to stand tall in the face of conflict, And the courage to speak my voice, even when I'm scared. May I have the humility to follow my heart, And the passion to live my soul's desires. May I seek to know the highest truth And dismiss the gravitational pull of my lower self. May I embrace and love the totality of myself? My darkness as well as my light. May I be brave enough to hear my heart? To let it soften so that I may gracefully Choose faith over fear. Today is my day to surrender anything that stands Between the sacredness of my humanity and my divinity. May I be drenched in my Holiness And engulfed by Your love. May all else melt away. And so it is.
