Mastering The Art Of Manifesting Change

I took the opportunity to master a few of my SoundCloud tracks. I am a Pro member SoundCloudCreator.  They have added the ability to master your tracks on SoundCloud. My tracks are all captured by my iPhone via #AudioShare, or #AudioCopy. No fancy software or mixing, straight up me live. Lol I had so hoped my tracks would be a good representation of my playing experience and ability. You can judge for yourself. I find myself wishing that my music could be taken to the next level. A bit more pro… 

I love being a creator. Whether on SoundCloud or on YouTube, each have an element of fun and some challenges. The production factor on YouTube is something I’m still trying to master. Labor intensive but sometimes fun? I enjoy putting videos together via iMovie for my YouTube channel. I love to add my family footage to my videos.

As you can see, I’m having a blast trying to improve my tracks. 

My mom had a saying. She would say, “For free take. For buy waste time”. I guess that pertains here? This is an incentive to record better quality tracks. 

Anyway, in my daily life, my job is the business of running a family. As CFO and CEO of my household, I try to save money where I can! I have a college freshman this year and a 9 year old daughter to get back to school! Ia spite of the number of Covid-19 cases we have had in Phoenix, ASU has maintained that they will be allowing dorms to reopen! I fear that with the start of fall classes at ASU and NAU the COVID-19 case surge will be overwhelming. This could be very difficult for Arizona residents. We were all assuming lockdown protocols without a formal government imposed shutdown. We as a state, have done pretty well masking up. The latest Covid numbers have been falling! My concern is...what happens when-college kids live in dorms via communal living conditions?  When primary grade school kids resume in person classes?Trust me, I’m ready to have my alone/quiet time back! But what will happen if kids start getting Covid-19 in schools? Will we all end up having to quarantine over and over for weeks at a time?  Not to mention the odds contracting this nasty virus. A lot to think about as we try to live and educate the kids! 

Our governor, has put school reopening decisions into the hands of the school district superintendents and educators to decide upon. Together with the local health department, stats, and criteria, decisions will be made within the next week. School will resume August 17th either in person or with distance learning. To be determined next week. 

I’m going to try to be supportive although I really have concerns either way. I have to say, having everyone home 24/7 has been a challenge! I’m looking forward to having my life back!!! I long for the time to focus on my music and create! I still hold on to my hope of an independent future. Bad marriages only get worse during lockdowns. I’m ready for a fresh start!
