VIBES...MOODS & MOVES - Podcast

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is a NEW YEAR and we are HERE! And that gives me so much joy! So of course I wanted to reach out , touch base, and get into a little chat!  Fact of the matter is, with all of what's going on these days I had to seriously kick my "Shawshanky" feelings to the curb, turn off the news and push to get this done. Twas not easy.  But I did it!

VIBES... MOODS & MOVES Podcast EPI # 11 - Jan19th 2021  Let's Chat-" 2021... WE ARE STILL HERE!"   is up!

On one hand I am happily watching history unfold before my eyes here in the US; in less than 24 hrs from my uploading this episode, a new day will have begun here in this country. One that  is a historic herald of progress, hope, and filled with pride.   However, I find myself working overtime to reconcile that we are still in the throws of a global pandemic whilst  facing a darkness, that is hate, in the air and on public display in ways that have left so many of us not surprised, but shocked and troubled.

On this episode I run through how I am processing current events and seeing myself forward with HOPE & FAITH. I also get a little bit into how I have been inspired , yet again, by the amazing creativity of my fellow  online Content Creators across mediums. As well as how I am getting all into the next big "GOOD STUFF" list!   Sharing is caring, and I'm gearing up to share again!

So grab those tasty beverages, healthy yummy snacks, your comfy seats and join me. Let's chat!

Happy New Year!

It's my birthday! YES! And this is one of the things I chose to do to celebrate one more year around the sun! AMEN! 

With the world being what it is these days,this year I am deeply embedded in a profound space of gratitude and reflection. I mean , OK,...I try to be in that space everyday all year round. But this year, I think those of us celebrating birthdays in this Covid19 space,while observing massive political change as well as , some days; overwhelming life changes... this birthday is hittin on a whole other level. PLUS, my Mom is turning 70 years FAB (Yup we share a B-day!) and that is also more than worthy of celebration! 

So, since Vibes...Moods & Moves is the newest of my creative brain children, and has been my favorite means to connect with the world as of late, I figured lemme do an episode for my birthday! YAY! 

With that said, as always... grab your snacks,a tasty beverage, a comfortable seat and join me for this special chat. And as always you can stream this episode on iTunes|Spotify|Amazon Music or on the host site: www.jannaejordan.com. I truly hope you find some positive take aways from me just chatting about life and feeling good no matter what! All I can say is...Good days, Bad days,Give thanks and praise anyway! We are here friends! Let's stay safe, and prayed all the way up! 

OH...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL MY SAGITTARIUS FAMILY EVERYWHERE! XOXO! 

Peace ALWAYS, 

Jannae

On this episode of Vibes...Moods & Moves, I chat about my current Social Media Detox, what I have been watching to edify my mind while logged off, and day dreaming about future Tech.   I ,along with you, watch the News and all that is going on around us and I found myself having more conversations with my nearest and dearest about Social Media and its impact on much of what is happening .  So since I'm not feeling to get all into my usual Halloween Horror Movie fan fair just yet, I chose to spend some time watching stuff that takes the scare out of something that in it's own creepy way I find appropriate for not just the season but the times we're living in...Social Media and Technology when it goes wrong.  I know, it all sounds kinda benign. But is it really? I think not! LOL  So, get your coffee, snack and comfy seat ...Let's chat!

Victor Rosado has been setting dance floors on fire with his unique style of emotionally controlling a crowd with his soulful musical narratives,which transmits a spiritually uplifting groove that propelled him to the forefront of the New York City club scene in the early 80's.  

But, it's his creative prowess, unyielding dedication to honing his craft and ceaseless commitment to realizing his full potential that has enabled him to adapt to the constant transformations within the music industry during the past four decades, 

Victor's perpetual passion for music and extraordinary interpretation of rhythm and harmony  are the primary forces behind his longevity within the global dance music community and is what makes him a force to be reckoned with.  

Victor is an epicure; a person who truly loves food at the highest levels. His ardent delight with food began as a child cooking in the kitchen with his mother preparing  Puerto Rican delicacies for holiday guests. His innate aesthetic curiosity and insatiable  desire to attain knowledge led him to the world renowned Art Institute Of NYC, where he studied culinary cuisine and the necessary skills to deliver popular traditional international flavors and world class techniques that food connoisseurs want and expect from award winning professional kitchens.  

Victor is versed in every aspect of the culinary arts including meal planning, food preparation, organizing and overseeing dining set up, presentation and service. Victor's culinary training as a saucier, baking, pastry and executive chef has enabled him to surprise, delight and even inspire passionate foodies. 

Come check out this forefather of dance music and innovative culinary artist on Vibes...Moods & Moves, and find out what he currently has on his plate.

Where does the time go? Where did this summer go? Where did the past year go? Where did the last nineteen years go?  Ask those questions aloud and sit with how it echoes. In my case I say, time flies, period.  This past year has been a challenging fast paced rollercoaster of change, grief and stress. As for this past nineteen years; some days I feel like it's a lifetime behind me. However, on days like today it feels like it was just yesterday.

As I look at where we are this September 11th, 2020, I find myself in deep thought about how terror shook us to our core and changed our collective sense of safety. Back then we came together to overcome and move on. Yet here we are in the throws of a global pandemic, and a crucial yet volatile election season while  being bombarded  with harsh reminders of how much hasn't change when it comes to equality and justice. So much is on the line. Most days now, it feels like we need a Super Hero to come to the rescue!   We need someone to swoop in and fix it all.   But that isn't going to happen. Maybe this is where we are supposed to tap into the very things that we love about our Super Heros and be our own Super Heros right now. Because from where I'm sitting, we have what we need within to be the best of us right now. We just have to choose to do so.

I get into these feelings in this "Let's chat" episode. I am choosing to look at this moment in time and history and push for good!  I am choosing to remind my fellow humans that we haven't lost all, there is hope. And lastly, not to simplify things but to keep this simple; I am choosing to also remind my fellow humans that we do have power! That power is our art, our work and our VOTEs!   With those things we can speak truth to power, encourage, educate, comfort and effect change! But we have to not allow all that is not right in the world to break our spirits with fear.

We have to choose to be the change we want to see... we have to cling tight to our FAITH and be led by what's right and not acquiesce to fear, intimidation, and the toxic behavior driven  uncertainty of it all. Now is not the time to forget all we overcame.  Nor is it the time to get distracted by fodder and chaos. This is where w set the coarse for all that we still need to overcome,and do what we can to have a hand in saving ourselves. THIS is where the best of us, the best of who we are shows up!

Be safe...Stay Well...Peace Always,

This is a moment!  From the very beginning I knew I wanted this project to be about more than just me.  Perhaps it's because I never fit in anywhere I thought I was supposed to. Perhaps it's because when I realized I wasn't supposed to fit in just anywhere, but rather  where I can just be me with truly like minded people, I knew what it was to belong.  Then again perhaps it's the fact that I have always known when you open your heart and hands sans fear, the right people will pass your way and in that you will  find community, inclusion and acceptance. Alll you have to do is stay open and be yourself, period.

I have been creating things that bring people together since I was a child. From board games as school projects with classmates, to online Artists communities and music that has gone all around the world! This is no different.  I LOVE to talk, this is no secret.  BUT I love to talk to people, who like myself, understand the power, magic and joy that is connecting with others on a soul level.  There is healing in that. There is acceptance in that.  There is welcome in that.  We all have a story to tell and a light to shine. This is about all of that and more.  So I proudly, humbly share this special Episode today with the world.

Thank you Lori Sommer, for your candor, and comedy! You are a real one in every beautiful sense of the word REAL! 

Kat Ayala, my Co-Producer; ONLY YOU, could co-pilot this nutty lil passion project with me. Thank you for being  ever steady. Thank you for always reminding me I don't have to do everything alone, I gotchu! RESPECT! 

And thank you to anyone and everyone who has listened, subscribed, followed, liked, and shared their feelings about any previous episodes as well as this one. I appreciate your walking this walk with us. You are always welcome, and I hope you enjoy this FIRST interview, of what I hope is just one of many more beautiful soul to soul moments to come here on Vibes...Moods & Moves!

Welp, that title sums it up!  From the very beginning I I wanted Vibes...Moods & Moves, to be about more than just me. I wanted share and engage with other voices, opinions and stories.  And I finally got to get started with two amazingly talented people to get this things kicked off right!  

Thank you to my Guests , Lori Sommer and Victor Rosado, for their time and transparency!  I had such a great time chatting with them that  I decided to give you all a lil sample of what you can look forward to when the full interviews go up for streaming and video! 

I love doing the solo "Let's Chat" Episodes, and will continue to do them. But I also appreciate connecting with other like minded people. It's about connecting, relating and gaining insight from others. When we stop listening to each other, we are lost. This is evident as we look around at current events. We're trying to birth good things here. So we connect with good people and embrace the transitions!

This Sneak Preview also notes the launch of the brand new  Vibes..Moods & Moves Podcast Youtube Channel and Instagram @vibesmoodsmoves.  So now you can watch, or listen, and engage! So hit those links and Subscribe, Like, Follow and Share!   Then get your snacks, beverages and get comfy!  It's time to chat!

Be safe...Stay Well...Peace Always,

This Epi 3.  "Let's Chat - I Am No Exception",   was not on the schedule. But after the past 24 hrs I've had ...it is what it is.  Everyone of us has the right to feel how we feel, deal how we choose to deal. But no one has the right to impose hate on another person. 

I am urging ALL OF US to keep it together as we continue to find our way through this Covid 19 Pandemic, as well as the Unrest we are either experiencing or witnessing right now.  Activism takes many forms. I speak up and do in my way, while others do in their way. However, my way being a more quiet behind the scenes approach does not mean I am not outraged and about pushing for change. And it also does not mean I am open to others raging at me about Black people as if I am an exception to their racism.

When all is said and done, I will not allow hate to break my heart and spirit now. None of us should. We have come too far,  and we are so much more, bigger and stronger than hate.  Do your part your way! And if all you feel you can do is Vote, then VOTE! For now I invite you to grab a coffee and press play to get into this chat with a personal musical message at the end.  

Stay Up, Stay prayed UP and STAY SAFE...Peace Be Still...
