Power of The Almighty Defenders
Sunday, November 8th, 2009Is it a coincidence that I bought The Almighty Defenders album on Halloween and now it’s haunting me?

The Almighty Defenders – Cone Of Light from The Pool Parties on Vimeo.
The Almighty Defenders strike me as a rockabilly gospel band. They dress in gospel choir robes on stage and have an eclectic Elvis, meets bar band, meets Motown sound. I discovered them while listening to XMU. Each time they played Cone of Light, I found myself looking down at the satellite receiver to catch the name of the artist and track. I did this enough times that it finally stuck. I came home, looked them up on iTunes and knew I would not be satisfied until I owned this entire album and could play it whenever and wherever I wanted.

These days there is a plethora of books, training programs and classes all designed and marketed to help you “feel good”. Yet you can feel good anytime you choose, with or without training.

Feeling Good by Nina Simone Lyrics
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin on by you know how I feel
(refrain:)
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel
(refrain)
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

Get Gal VanIZed Inaugural Celebration
Monday, January 19th, 2009
With the inauguration of President Barack Obama coming, I have decided to have a personal inaugural celebration. I have decided to step up and become a president of my own life.
That includes presiding over my thoughts, actions and choices. It also means consciously choosing the beliefs and actions that keep my own life moving forward and benefit others along the way. There is no time for hatred, pettiness or materialism. We must get strong and stay strong.
Please join with me. Choose to become the president of your life and to live as a leader who is dedicated to be part of the change movement.
If you find yourself resisting change or sabotaging your success, my book, From Sabotage to Success might help. This book truly proves that you can change your life no matter how many hard times you’ve experienced.
By the way if you want your own Obama poster go to: Be a super hero, Get Galvanized and dare to make a difference
http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com You can get one with your own name or with ‘Galvanized’. Being Gal Vanized means that you can have fun, be feminine and sexy and also be strong. It’s about finding the balance of energies that is uniquely you. I believe that as we do this, we are in a better postion to share our gifts with the world. 
There’s a Galvanized theme song and T-Shirt. Both are great for getting you in the mood to be a creative force in your own life and the world at large.
The theme song is titled Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers. This YouTube video combines audio from the Party Ben remix that blends Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers with sound-bits from the Empire Strikes Back movie along with video clips from the movie’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, and House of Flying Daggers. Enjoy.

Okay, maybe this only applies if you’re over 40 but the truth is, when I hear funk and soul from the 70’s I feel like a superhero.
If so, you’ll probably like the Stevie Wonder channel I created on Pandora.com.
