My Inspiration
I love to tell stories...
I like to think of my machinations as a multi-volume anthology spanning each major part of the human experience.
Each volume is a collection of stories, essays, music, colors, films, poetry and art that weave tale trials and triumphs from the monumentous to the mundane.
Life in words and ideas.
When I was younger that would get me into trouble but I learned from my mother throughout my life that stories and art are the way that you experience life as a human. They are spoken memories to share or to reflect on.
My mother was a storyteller.
She would travel and speak to the world about her memories and her experiences. She would make you feel at home in her world. The drama of the tale would entice you into knowing more, she would stand and flourish her arms to paint the picture, she would change voices for different characters to put you in the room where it happened, she would be so detailed that the phrase "you just had to be there" would never be needed.
She told a lot of stories during her life and she inspired me to do the same. While her stories could have sold out on opening night on Broadway, complete with the heavy velvet curtains, the hot stage lights, and orchestral cues of high tempo neo soul beats to compliment her one-woman show.
I being slightly more of an introvert speak to the mic and add flair to my written word.
She was the theatre
I, the blog
She the stage
I the podcast
Through her I gained a love for storytelling, writing, and reading that helped me reflect and gain perspective through life.
I will never be as great of a storyteller as she was, my mother was my greatest inspiration and while sometimes I find myself drowning in my own despair at losing her and her dramatic stories.
I honor her by baring my soul and telling some of my own in a way I feel she would approve.
All my stories I dedicate to my mother.
My life, light, and my angel.
