      <title>The SIX List</title>
      <description>
&lt;h3&gt;I read an awesome article today about why entrepreneurs eventually fail at their endeavors. The main culprit is the lack of FOCUS! It outlined the signs of someone being unfocused and I'm sooooo HAPPY that I discovered that I'm exhibiting the symptoms. I say happy because at least now I'm aware and I can make the change. Some signs of a person being unfocused are stress, frequent email checking, addicted to ichat, and feeling like your load is never lighter no matter what you do. OOOOOohhhhh, I&#8230;&lt;/h3&gt;

      <title>Turning Point</title>
      <description>
&lt;div&gt;I just realized... this is it... this is the point in my life where I gamble the most. I suspect there are more gambling to be had in the future and I certainly have risked so much in the past. But, something about this moment now that makes me carefully re-calculate my risks. I suppose it could be fear. Fear of the unknown. But I think it's more so because I am reaching a point of no return. Here's what I mean...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;For so long now I had always dove in to any opportunity related to my mu&#8230;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Having only 3 hours of sleep...</title>
      <description>is something I won't ever recommend. My head is so spinning right now as I'm writing this. I had to stay up late and work a little bit on the Blowout friends conversion from myspace. Our Blowout network is pretty darn new and I haven't formally announced it to the world yet about inviting people to sign up because I want the content and the partnerships to be in place and solid already. Anyway, so as I work on preparing for the conversion, I probably will have a splitting headache for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've also been neglecting my motherly and wife duties. OK, on the latter I'm not talking about what you're thinking.. now get your head outta the gutter! I mean, I haven't been cooking for the kids or helping them out with homework for the past couple of days. I really feel guilty about that. The best part is that Mark, my saviour, is taking on all those responsibilities. What a great guy. I love him to death!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a lucky gal to have his support and to be able to work on what I'm passionate about... music!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So yesterday, I had to "end" my early listening period for my album. Today, I'm really hoping to work on some songs. Keyon and I had a chat in the last few days about finishing "Pillow Kisses" and also I have this beautiful song about how proud I am of my eldest son, Luis, who is graduating highs chool this year. Yup, I am THAT mom! And I've also been neglecting my FLUIDITY bar. I soooooo have to get on that. I cannot shoot a video nor even go to MIDEM lookin less than my best shape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ah.. that headache is piercing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, I'll check back in a few.&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Good things come to those who wait</title>
      <description>This is the lesson I learned last night. So, congratulations to those of you who read my blog immediately and headed on out to listen to my tunes. As of this morning, the early listening event.. =) has ended. But don't complain, the samples are still up here and the full version of the first single These Are The Signs off the album can still be distributed. Please keep on spreading that word. Alright? Happy Morning!&lt;br /&gt;
