Dear New Year

Dearest Liz,

In this New Year, you will get to express yourself creatively like you never have before! Little did you know that all of these outside circumstances like the pandemic and the protests, along with all of the resulting unrest in 2020 would act as a changing agent inside of you...

An agent that would go deep within and help you decide what you wanted to keep, and what you wanted to throw away...

Everything from the way you looked at life, the way your treated yourself and others, how you viewed work, and even the way you viewed your own artistic talents had to be reviewed as a part of this cleansing and purging process to help you become a more powerful, progressive person.

Now that you've done the inner work, you have all this space for what you want to create!

You can spend the hours you used to put in at your event gigs and restaurant jobs on making art, writing, performing and recording poetry, music and social commentary. Then, you can tie it all together with effective distribution through Vocal Plus and the Likee livestreams and videos!

You'll have an entire worldwide audience who can now experience and enjoy life through your eyes....

You'll be able to structure your days, from when you wake up, to when you fall asleep, and tailor it to fit all of the things you want them to contain...

Meditation and yoga in the mornings..

Workouts anytime of day you decide would benefit you, with the simple home gym you've created...

Nutrition can be a joy now, because you can finally cook the way you want to at home.

All of the ways you gave so generously of your time and your abilities at your previous gigs and jobs... all of the outstanding work ethic you put forth for the benefit of who you were working for in the previous years can now be applied almost solely to your artistic endeavors! Some people go their entire lives without an opportunity to live this way. You have paid your dues in spades, and you have just the kind of entrepreneurial spirit it takes to have a lot of success artistically now.

I bet you were thinking at the time when you were working many of the seemingly menial jobs you had, "What could all of this be leading up to? Is this journey leading me closer to what I want? What could life be beyond what I'm doing now?" Yet, you felt in your heart that one day, you'd be able to make a successful transition and live your dream, each and every day.

And here you are. You're making it happen!

In 2021, it will feel as though life is a steady, creative flow of artistic work and inspiration... It will feel enjoyable, like second-nature to you.

You'll be able to focus like never before.. to create pathways within your art, writing and music that will help guide others closer to where they want to be. Because your light will shine brighter this year, you'll be able to influence others' lights to shine brighter. People can sense when you believe in something with your whole heart, so in turn, you will receive a reflection of the energy you put out.

Because you have the commitment level and dedication to schedule time each day to work on your craft, be it a painting, collage, song or poem; a live stream performance or social commentary on hip-hop culture, you will reap incredible and fruitful rewards. You will bring people together, and unity is powerful!

Lil' Wayne said "The game is so simple... You get out of it what you put into it." This will definitely apply to your life and the way that you live it this year. The book Think And Grow Rich says that with a life lesson or a seemingly unfavorable or undesirable circumstance, you can count on reaping "the seed of an equivalent benefit". 2021 IS your seed of an equivalent benefit!

With the abundance you create, you'll be able to provide for yourself above and beyond just an average lifestyle. You'll be able to express yourself through fashion and beauty in new ways. You'll be able to decorate your home and entertain the way you really want to. You'll be able to build out your home studio to be the best quality it can be so you can render higher quality art and music.

You'll continue to inspire others by professional distribution now, on more channels, which will be very, very fulfilling!

You will come many steps closer to having your dream property, which will be like a retreat for other artists and creatives like yourself to come to. It will be a safe haven; a place to relax, to reconnect.... to work, record, and celebrate life. You'll also be many steps closer to having a beautiful stake in the entertainment game, which will open new doors of opportunity because of the ways you've invested your time and money.

Speaking of investments, you will be able to put a portion of your money aside every month to go towards emerging markets and innovations the way you've wanted to. Your strength in studying those with more than you (as well as less) will come in handy now, because you'll get to utilize what you've learned to create success on the artistic side of business.

Much of 2020 was about creating an environment for yourself, both within your own mind, as well as externally, where you could manifest your ideal life. Now that the groundwork is laid, you are free to build a beautiful skyscraper, so to speak... A structure of art and music, extending into artistic inspiration and financial abundance!

Use your time wisely, Dear Liz, enjoy the process, and most of all, HAVE FUN!
