LIVING THE DREAM

WHAT A TOUGH  YEAR!  Along with dealing with life just as everyone, all of us, I was diagnosed with cancer. I AM PRETTY YOUNG, according to my doctors, to be dealing with this. This sickness has caused me to gain weight....while losing appetite!!!! HUH?????

After 4 surgeries since May of 2013, I am gaining my momentum to getting back into the Seattle Scene. Several Projects will be going on.  Setting up an OPEN MIC for Trauma Survivors is my first goal. I am already doing this in the 3D Virtual World of Second Life. As founder of my own nonprofit, iDONTdoSILENT.com, established early last year, I decided to not only provide the services we offer in Washington State, but to bring into Second Life, a Venue to support Music. A beach setting called TiKiLaND HoTSPoT, where we have poetry, Fishing, Volleyball, Live Music and DJ's from around the world, games and meditation. As if that were not enough for an avatar, I have developed a survivors gallery, a shopping mall. ALL of these profit making ventures are strategically in place to provide a support and crisis center as well as a survivors club for Members of iDONTdoSILENT to sit amongst each other in confidence and privacy to share stories of survival, triumph, and just anything that relates to being with likeminded people from around the world.

As far as the Seattle Scene. I am working on original project and very patiently waiting for the right band members to join me in creating music that really resonates with me to be in creation mode.....anything from well though-out lyrics to totally jamming and being within and without myself doing improvisational style which used to SCARE ME TO DEATH, even as a backing vocalist being introduced on stage during a show! Now, Its second nature! Practicing on SL has helped a lot.

I truly am open to touring as backing vocals for someone really amazing and notable! It can be done as I work really hard....and dang I can hit some high notes when well oiled!  So if you know anyone......................

Having recently gone to the 40th Anniversary for Robert Langs Studio, Seattle WA. I was invited by a SL boss, who is very known within the RLS circle. While there I met some famous and not yet famous high quality musicians, sound engineers, producers, etc. I thought I would not know a soul. GIGGLES...Seattle is a small world when it comes to the real inner circle of music. It truly binds us as a community, no matter how large or small you or your project may be. Its real and sincere respect for artistry. That is exactly while this southern girl has stayed here for the last twenty years. Sure I miss home. However,  leaving this tight knit community would leave me soooo empty....it really is that impactful!

With all this said, basically, I started this blog to ask you to please like my facebook page! That is where you will be sure to find the latest news of my work as founder and volunteer for iDONTdoSILENT and other charities in Seattle and Second Life, such as Feed A Smile, The Blind Café, Michael J Fox Foundation, American Cancer Society, Transitional Resources, and more....just ask!

This sucks! I am congested in my chest and have a sore throat. My family used to say if Canny lost her voice she would DIE!!! she has to be talkin all the time!!!

So with that said...I will be missing my three shows today at The Rising Sun/Twinkle Lucky Star, Ocean Breeze, and the Roadhouse Dreams. DANG IT!!!!!!!
My dancers and staff all have my back and so do my fans....This morning I let my fan base know and the love just poured out. Rhy saying,"..wish you well Candy.... drink wine-it kills germs" and nikki my dancer saying, "feel better soon Candy...take care" and Montagne saying, "sounds like lots of chicken soup and juice to me"

You are all so caring!!!!!!  my hubby also stayed home with me to make sure i am doing fine! I hope you all have a fun time on sl today....maybe its a blessing...I can come see MY friends who perform. So if you are calling a dance, doing a fashion show, singing, or have someone you wish to promotwhatever ...let me know here and give slurl and time SLT

WOW...The success iCandy & KISSES dancers are having on SecondLife is amazing. Hard work DOES REALLY pay off!!!!
As we started back this year after having made a decision to become a Professional FullTime Artist on www.secondlife.com for 2013, working 7 days a week, I never thought we would have this much success so very quickly.
Yesterday we found out we are ranked 1st place for Top Viewed Pages  in 48 HOUS on www.secondrater.com
We have been voted as a 4 1/2 STAR group! We couldn't be more thankful for your support!  We are up to about 12 shows a week-varying times so that you can catch us. We are also doing many themed shows such as Swooners and Crooners at Ecnad Nation (owner-Ehukini), ALL Rawk Show at Requiem Abyss(owner-Laura Savio), All 80's SHOW at Twinkle Lucky Star (owner- Freeke Beaumont), and ALL THAT JAZZ at Jazz Artz Club (owner-Syl Darcy).
We have so much more going on in sl! I am dedicating my singing career to the avi's of secondlife. Thank you for your support as it allows me to be a mom and wife full time, never being away from my family! See you on the grid

Holidays with my family!!! I have missed you avi friends and wish you the best for the holidays and the new year. I am having an amazing time with family!!! I havent spent a holiday with my blood kin in over 20 years. My hubby gave me the ultimate Christmas present this year-me and my little boy are home. I have to say that Charleston, South Carolina is my home! So many people only wish they came from such an amazingly beautiful place. I was raised on the idea that people can be compassionate, ultra friendly, and lovingly truthful and patient. There is always love her for me with my Aunt and Uncle (pictured in photo).
My Aunt is an amazing lady-she has created a holiday haven not only in the finest fashion of holiday lights-over 100 trees of various sizes from one foot high to 13 feet!\, but also brings lots of warm love for the nature of our celebrating the birth of the Messiah.
It has been a very tender loving time in their house with family, great food, and YES MUSIC. I am hardly without music in my life. Everyday, as you know, I am working on SecondLIfe or in RL as a musician. I spend time perfrecting my craft by having a Maestro pretty steadily, almost weekly. I had  a full day of family singing together, songs of praise, songs of fun, songs of the season. And it wasnt just me! My aunt plays the piano for her church and at home-a grand paino and a voice of an angel-able to sing opera!! You think I have talent? It is so apparent when I come home. My Uncle has the most beautiful base vox-and a charm of a beautiful bird sporting his plumage like a proud poppacuz as he sings songs of praise.
Even my little boy chimes in with his lyrical splendor of fun tunes that children love-not the ordinary holiday songs, but fun tunes that make you giggle from you tube such as the dramatic song about nothing, saftey Torch, and boy-to hear my little boy playing that grand piano in the front room.....even while I write this blog.....There is ALWAYS music around me. I am so thankful.
I look forward to coming back to my craft on SecondLife after the first of the year. Please, until then, have a wonderful holiday, enjoy time with your family, and pray for those who cannot be with family this year. Keep your heart jovial, with lots of love,and peace in your mind and heart. Much love as always, iCandy
