Tammy Tuckey Part 2
Listen to "Tammy Tuckey Part Two Recording Music" on Spreaker.
Normally when I produce an artist showcase it puts on display the latest beats and lyrics from those who've been buried in studio work. For Tammy... Her love and connection with Disney has opened a new door of possibility. Fans can GoFund her. The happiest place is totally behind her expression of putting focus on what's been lost for many years. Disney songs brought forward through incredible collaborations with many of the original artists.

Friendships
Listen to "Friendships" on Spreaker.
I'm "not" a loner. And yet I love walking into a recording studio alone and getting lost in a project that brings success to not just one person but many. But here's the problem. In this age of so many platforms and reasons for having collaborations how true is the foundation of friendship? I keep hearing stories about how this friend did this and that friend did that. There's Facebook Friends and Instagram Friends. Church friends and workplace friends. But does it truly fit into what's supposed to be a sacred connection of growing forward and outward?
Here's how the dictionary defines friendship: a state of mutual trust and support between allied nations.
Now lets look up relationship: the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.
It says nothing about trust and support.
Most businesses influence, inspire and motivate their teams of worker bees to bring their talents together. That's called a relationship. Not a friendship. And most are left along side the road until further teamwork is expected if ever. That doesn't qualify as a friendship. You can be friendly to each other. You can build journeys and success stories.
Instantly I'm reminded of the way people poke at their spouses and say, "That's your workplace wife or husband." We spend so much time at work that it kinda points to that. But it doesn't shape shift into a friendship. It can. But we're talking reality.
I always try to rely on the children's song make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold. It can be used as a tool but... It totally invites us to dump and run. Not to challenge you. Look deeper into the cause and effect. In what areas of your life do you have friends? And are they true or a chest pain away from leaving the scene?

I Am What I'm About To Become
Listen to "I Am What I'm About To Become" on Spreaker.
We aren't a lazy generation. We honestly have too much on our minds. It's become the norm to live in a past we can't change or spend too much time trying to design the future. Only to learn bosses, coworkers, family and friends are getting in the way. That invites judgement, self doubt, fear and shame. Living in the present is where peace survives. But being the present is a very difficult place to remain. Putting both hands on the moment requires focus and determination. I carry with me favorite lyrics and verses. So that when I feel myself slipping its extremely helpful to put myself on a written inspiration and or affirmation. I am ______ is nothing more than a open door for you to live in the past. You are a chef? You are a hard worker? I am _____. How can you keep the past out of your present. I am what I am about to become. That puts you in control of decisions being made. Its a choice. Its leadership. If you are about to be angry. Hmmmm change it. I am what I am about to become. That leaves the door wide open for you to leap out of situations that feel negative or untrue. Put yourself back in charge of who you are by making the right decisions on what you'd like to become. Remove the walls and mountains and locate the peaceful path toward victory.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 82
Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 82" on Spreaker.
I was moved by a thought that filled my heart while talking to a legend in music. It flooded my process to the point of taking the words into the forest. I wanted to better understand why in the center of such an incredible conversation something so moving leaped into my heart and then onto a page. The weird thing about being a writer. What once moved you has a way of steering you toward deeper waters and valley floors. As much as I was inspired by the short little paragraph that touched my soul. I somehow made my way into another paragraph about standing in front of God. I was asked about what I was thinking while on the path. With so much thought he felt I wasn't serving him but myself. That's an eye opener. Because how many of us say we're in it all the way for the Great Creator but everything we do points us to serving ourselves first? This isn't a Bible thumping message but rather an openness about being aware of your presence in the present. Do your actions and reactions meet the command?

Fading from Your Past
Listen to "Fading From Your Past" on Spreaker.
I've always had a difficult time keeping focused on the present and moving forward into a brand new tomorrow. I'm guilty of always wanting to return to a past I can't change. I want to study it. To learn from each step. To turn it into a tool that helps me design the far far away future. So much energy is wasted trying to get there that when it finally arrives... It was nothing like I had planned. Can any of us truly say that who we are today is what the child painted in the first grade? Memories aren't my best friend. Sure I love it when the radio spins a Meatloaf song and I'm instantly shot back to Billings Montana 1978/79. But once there everything wants to connect to it like a Bill trying to make its way through Congress. Outside of your heart and brain your memory is one of very few things that endlessly works. It was designed to keep you entertained. It creates fuel for fires while gifting you with purpose and a plan. Learning how to live in the present is a lifelong mission of trust and faith. You can't get there alone. But when you do discover the paths and riverbeds that help free you from the past and a future you're trying to design... The existence of peace grows outward from your mind body and soul.

Prepare...
Listen to "Prepare..." on Spreaker.
I know... Our minds are endlessly creating words and pictures and it's extremely difficult to trust the formations. But what happens if you take note of the moment and try to understand the rooting system of why a single word has awakened you at 1:20 am. Too often we spend our restless moments tangled up in other peoples excuses which forces us off the path of what could be a lesson of importance. We hear about Rock Stars and Movie moguls making their way to their creative ports to pour into the veins of a living tree what just moved through them. But do you have to be at their level of play to realize there's always something available to be processed long after that single awake moment? I know why I was shot into play. The headlines! But how do we reach beyond this position of other peoples decisions and prepare?

Listen to "Sheltered By What" on Spreaker.
As of late. I've heard a lot of people talking about how they're sheltered. Sheltered by what? They never say. Confidently they just smile. When silence is the only answer delivered isn't that a break down of communication. Actually I see it as a lack of trust. We protect what we think we're strong in. Very rarely do you meet someone willing to open their hand and say, "Grab it while you can." I think Christianity is the same. Each of us grab onto our individual interpretations of the message but outside the squared circle of religion do we speak openly about what shelters us? Highly unlikely. We're that group of people that finds religion and politics to be places for potential disagreement. If only we could be more open with the other fire starters like unnecessary comments made on social media or people who can't arrive on time or end up canceling everything after your life's been rearranged. There's never any concern. They're sheltered. I get it! By what? Darth Vader once had an entire army and arsenal to protect his interests. You know the story.
