CC of CCSquared Productions's Friend Space (Top 7)
Hello my friend, sorry that I have not been here in so long. I have had a few things going on in my life that has taken me away from my goals. My father had a stroke last November and has been living with me but he is doing great and I will be able to take him back home to Kentucky in a few weeks and I had another scare with breast cancer, All is well and I am still cancer free. So I am back and ready to get back to work on my music.
The only way to pass any test is to take the test and remember
it takes as much stress to be a success as it does to be a failure so, when you cannot make up your mind between two evenly balanced courses of action, choose the bolder.
Hello! I just wanted to stop in and say hi as I have not been able to get much done on Myspace for a long while. Hope that all has been well and things are going GREAT! And rememnber that You don't get harmony when everybody is singing the same note. :-) Have a very Merry Christmas! Rhonda Kaye
When we question why we find ourselves in particular circumstances or situations, oftentimes, we need look no further than our own thoughts, words, and actions. The thoughts that we give place to, the words we speak, and ultimately the resulting actions we take, all serve to form the reality of what we experience in life. There is however, another prerequisite to altering our condition. In order to exact a permanent change in the way that we think, we must first have a change of heart. Once that has been accomplished, everything else will naturally flow from it...New thoughts will be established, and reflected in our words and actions...the end result being a life that has been forever transformed. "The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy." ~Florence Scovel Shinn~ Remember to always live your dream! Your friend always Rhonda Kaye
Come join me about my excitement that Doritos is offering 1 Million on the best vid producer and supporting our independent film! All the 5 Finalists get $25,000!
Lets win together! Or Maybe you can share with me about how your going to get your team together to pull this off. I really want to get ahead and some days the sloop is steep. I hoping to pull something like this off so I get a jump.
It is a conscious decision that we must make, know what it is that you really want. Be free of worry, fear, doubt and anxiety. If in asking, you truly believe that you receive it, knowing that it is done...have faith in yourself and perseverance, it WILL become manifest in your life. Never let go of your dreams and never let someone take them away. So many times others will tell you why it can not be done. Let us be the one person who will say to another that it CAN be done. Every person who has ever done something wonderful didn’t know how they were going to bring it pass. They only knew that they were going to do it. Don’t focuses on the how but on the end result, the how will be shown to you. Thank you for your friendship! Rhonda Kaye
Hi! Thank you so much for the request. It was a pleasure meeting you at the the ABFF.I see you have some exciting things going on! I'm inspired~ I am still in the process of updating my page with more information on various projects I am working on so please lets maintain the connect!
I hope all has been well. I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have visited your page! I have been so busy with getting my music out to the world and on the road the past few weeks that I have just not had the time. So I have made some time today to get back with all my friends and hope to uplift and inspire you as you walk through and live out your dreams. A lifetime can be spent waiting for the perfect conditions, the necessary provision, or just the right moment to begin living one's dream. Take a step of faith, and simply begin to walk in that which you know your destiny to be. See how providence moves, circumstances realign, open doors and connections materialize, to provide you with exactly what you need, at just the right moment and to accomplish that which you have set forth to do. A journey of a thousand miles begins with that first step. And remember my friend, Don’t let anyone take away your dreams! You are Awesome! Rhonda Kaye
