WHY SHOULD I CARE?

Betrayed...

You Tell me your in danger and afraid for your life.
I dedicate my means, my emotions, hours and days of agonizing strife.
We make a plan of rescue to rebuild and renew.
and then you kick dirt in my face and sever the lines of truth.
...Betray me twice in one night.
When I come to see you there is no remorse or no care for me or my efforts.
You got what you want and that's all that matters.

A friend in need is not a friend indeed

A DAY of CONTRAST - Rafael Nadal and youth of today

After Flying into Miami from Vegas today, I was able to catch the end of the Australian Open. I absolutely loved watching two champions giving everything they have; to dedicate their entire life to a goal and embody unyielding perseverance. In fact, I've been thinking about it all day. Nadal made a huge impression on me. He's a challenger and fighter who is hungry and has something to prove! That is me…I'm hungry for the challenge and the prize that’s staring at me, and I will fight and wage war to get it.

Contrary to the beginning of my day, I reunited with two very close friends of mine that are 17 and 18 yrs old. They have been having problems at home with their mom and had run away for a week. What they have gone through has been insane. One of them was in a detention center for a full week and the other one has been skipping from friend's house to house with the same clothes for a week. After talking to them their main focus was to get a place of their own yet didn’t want to get a job or work to support themselves, nor did they know what they wanted to do carrier wise. I kept asking them what they liked to do or what interests they had...and nothing. This really upset me. It was like all they ever wanted to do with their lives was hang out with their friends and smoke pot. Yeah I know they are teenagers but this is crazy. No drive, no hunger, no goals, no purpose. They didn't even have a hobby. I really got upset

Which brings me back to Nadal. Thank you Nadal for being you and inspiring the world. There is a huge need for role models who are young, cool, edgy and that have a purpose in life.

Michael Brito's portrait of me

This painting of me was created by Michael Brito. When I first started my YouTube videos he was one of my first Angels who inspired and lifted me. Thank you Michael for sharing your beauty.

He also included a card which I have next to my computer. It reads:

Dear Alisa

Thank you for sharing, with courage and hope; your life's story.
Thank you for standing up against those who say "you cant" and proving "we all can".
With Love and admiration.

Michael Brito


We can all inspire each other

WRITING STARTS AGAIN

Today I start writing again…I took a long hiatus from writing to immerse myself in the mechanical aspects of my music career and life itself. I also had an extremely traumatic life change that drove me so far to the edge I didn’t feel myself really. It was like I was in one of those snow globes; underwater ignored and no way out. The blizzard of pain surrounded me and everywhere I turned nothing could be changed.

I’m out now and the pain of the past still reminds me but I am on top of it now. Thanks you for being part of this journey with me. I really missed you. Please feel free to share.

Alisa

show in Vegas

Few fun photos at my show in vegas this Friday. will have video up soon.

Grab it

Power tools for the day:

Grab what you want because its you who has to do it.
Be decisive of exactly what you want.

Just be yourself and show who you are; not trying to fit/blend in with other's ways but be understanding of them - no condemnation.

Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone.
