I thought I'd take a minute and discuss my thoughts on the issue of what marriage is in our society today. I have seen more articles, blogs and stories about Kris & Kim and their fake marriage than i've heard anyone discuss Mark & Gabby. Maybe you all remember that dreadful day when we all found out that Congresswomen Giffords had be shot in the head and if you were like me, I was just waiting to hear of her passing. I was so sad that this amazing women's life had been cut short by some idiot, but that's not what happened. Miraculously she is alive and not just alive but thriving!!! Now, it's a shame that I'm having to recap that story but i'm just afraid so many of you won't know off of the top of your head who she is. Mark Kelly is her Astronaut Husband that stuck by her throughout the entire ordeal. This week they've been on a few shows and their story is remarkable, so inspiring, so courageous, so touching that I felt compelled to discuss them further. I consider them "The Real McCoys".

Now to discuss what I consider "The Fakes".  The latest on the Kris & Kim marriage/divorce/quickest most over-rated wedding of the century in my opinion; is that he is now looking to sue for $10 Million. Have we gotten so greedy that we've equated marriage to a payday? It sickens me how marriage, real marriage is not celebrated but money and "the come-up" is. People need to wake up. I'm sure the day Mark Kelly married Gabby Giffords, he never thought one day i'll have to speak for her, guess what she wants to eat, help her get dressed, bath her, comb her hair & understand things that are not understandable. I'm almost certain that he NEVER thought that, but real love causes you to not think but act. Real commitment protects, nurtures, supports & believes when the rest of the world has given up. All I'm trying to say is stop referring to Kris & Kim as a marriage. That my dear people was about greed, ratings & sex. Point blank period. Don't strive for the million dollar wedding, strive for the priceless marriage.  Mark & Gabby have a marriage, Kris & Kim had an arrangement and it seems that even that was not articulated clearly.  I'm sure Mark & Gabby have faults, but that's real. I celebrate them.

Over the last 120 days I have some stories I could share. I could tell you everything negative that happened to me, and every hurt I experienced. But who logs onto someone's website to read depressing stories, this isn't Lifetime, ha! Instead, i've decided i'm not gonna give those things power but rather share with you all of the amazing positive moves I have going on. For one, September is my birthday month and NOTHING is going to take the month long celebration I'm having for that from me! Thank you in advance God for another year! This month i'm finishing up a CD geared at school-age children, more to come on that later! I'm so excited about this project "Keia for Kids". Stay tuned. I'm also shooting a music video!!!! Can you guess which song i'm doing first? I'll let you know in a few weeks :) It's going to be a STUPID (in a good way) concept.

So October is going to be CRAZY BUSY with good stuff! Lots of shows in Memphis & surrounding cities. You'll see fliers and more information about those as the dates get closer but mark the 15th & 22nd of October on your calendars. I'll also be debuting the music video or possibly videos! Photo shoot coming up, just lots of good stuff! The summer of 2011 was anything but a walk through the park but i'm still smiling. I'm losing more friends the deeper I get in my passion but i'm gaining more respect and attracting people that are serious like I am about my passion. There can be no gain without some loss, and i've lost so much that I expect a huge gain. To the man I gave my heart to in the summer of 2011, thank you. Thank you for what you've shown me about myself i'm so much better because of what you showed me about me. Like I always say, don't miss the movement, don't miss my journey.
