Performance Update #resurrect my home #lori jean #survival

Ok. So here I am getting ready with my last preparations for my upcoming performance at The Mint LA. I'm singing one of my last 2 times for preparation out before I go. I booked my hotel for the night last night, which I had said I wasn't going to do. I was going to stay up all night but decided not too. Sitting in an airport or bus station isn't smart. After staying up late I should rest in a nice bed before I come home. I got my gloves in but I'm not sure now if I can wear them. They're tight and seem to cut off circulation and for one other reason-let you know this one later. Vocal Zones are in but I forgot to use them today for my periscope performance. I started redoing my Final Project for school which needs to be done before I go and this is going well. I think my brain has cleared the fog from concentrating on my music. I don't want to take away from this though. I changed my song list again. As of now I'm very pleased with it and will be practicing this. You'll have to wait to 👀 this when YOU'RE there August 4th!!! Hopefully right??!! ✋✋ 

They're songs I feel comfortable with. One I love that I added that brings sparkles to my mind. It was my way of reaching out and saying I need music to communicate reflecting back when I was little. I would jump up and twist and twirl in front of our front window to my mother. I would sit up high in trees for hours when I wouldn't get reciprocation to what I was trying to message- my mild brain sensitivities from convulsions as a toddler. Others I felt were embedded in me and meant to do. Just Like Yesterday and Resurrect My Home are still on the list to be sung, so you can be assured of that. 

When is the Right Time to Have Sex? #education #love #intimacy #lorijean #lori finnila

This seems to change our lives. When are we ready emotionally in our lives be it the first time or routinely and when do we WANT to have sex? Sex is no longer a requirement for a relationship in our lives. It's an act of intimacy acquired by two people in love.

Wrote Something Really Cute Concerning My Songs #grandma farinha #super lady

Week 6 School Journal Entry

Lately I’ve been drawn to comedy. Only because, I think, each time I wrote I felt others taking my credit. Apparently I have become so controversial that this happens. So I try and mix the joy in my life with peculiar combining them together for unique experiences that no one else can. I do this in hopes that my abusers, or non well wishes can't compensate emotionally from my writing. 

I would like to explore a fictional type memoir after reading But Enough About Me. We all cringe to the real artifacts of a memoir and stand back to it. After reading Slouching Toward Bethlehem I had parts of my life pop up that I felt were interesting growing up in the 60’s. I could see how they could be recreated coming from someone else yet still being affective, and perhaps a movie in there as well. It seems a bit trickier as a screenplay where the visual you can't lie to such an emotional impact of some of the times  in this era. If I want to exaggerate an emotion to make a story, you can't. This concerns me with this kind of writing. Since I only know writing about me or my experiences the unique and impactful have to be sincerely done. I like the war-themed hippi days. I can remember my grandad talking to his Veteran neighbor pal. My grandma would play French music and hide it as I would get into it. News was not represented in our house and politics not discussed during a horrible time of war that impacted my raising. Rules were set to protect me but I never understood why completely until now. Kids of that generation older than I were lost to waste. Taking dreaded jobs of responsibility because it being too late in life and dying to misery to this. I have to say, I appreciate the choices that I have now. 

Two actions would be to create an animated child of disbelief of horror, portray adults who work hard to hide this, and then jumping in and out of the situations I’ve mentioned and add to it. I think it shows so much love. Maybe this little girl can show how much she loves them in the end as she grows up by showing them her love. I wrote some cute songs for both sets of grandparents. One is called, Grandma Farinha, for my only surviving grandparent on my mom’s side conveying the attention the family put into my mental stimulation of my brain after convulsions as a child. The other is Super Lady, for my French and Finnish meme and pepe who showed me the power of love in a couple. It's a cute corny song of a couple growing old on a swing together remembering them in the front yard on theirs. The thing creaked as I write about it. But my meme would put perfume in her kitchen cleaners to get my grandpa’s attention and then I’d see them dart off and look over to see if I’d noticed at 3 or 4 years of age. I used a modern day mom in the beginning asking for a break of making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to fly away in emotion or literally with her love. I think that's a pretty good start. I’m kind of excited.

He Holds Me Right #lorijean #love #music

I threw this together after watching Keira Knightly and Mark Ruffalo in "Begin Again." I was trying to imitate her singing style. Don't know if I got it. He Holds Me Right

#lovemydetour Post from #lovemyamy Ostreicher #lorijean

Please read my heartwarming story I share in my friend's 'Love My Detour' column at her site. 

#secondchance #exboyfriend #lorijean

I was just listening to 'A Second Chance' with Gina Kane about a sociopathic husband. I had been picturing myself with a boyfriend and realized that I couldn't watch movies on a TV screen with a new potential boyfriend. Why? Because my last boyfriend, over 25 years ago, slammed my head against his car. I suffered a minor head injury from it. Freaky. Something I'll have to keep in mind. I don't believe in watching a lot of television because I think it takes away from productive time. If there is a favorite or scheduled show to watch, 2 hrs. tops, I would accept that.

Just a thought to share. Much love! ❤️

#missionformarch #hope #scotland #homelessyouth #ingenius

From looking at the Mission for March FB group with Carrie Green yesterday I was able to come up with an INGENIOUS idea to start my Teens at Crossroads of America and Beyond in Scotland. The women are so bonding, sharing of their experiences good and bad with growing and building their companies, and consoling. It brought some blinking lights to my head this morning. It is soooo invigorating. Now I'm working on putting the steps into action.

I'm coming kids!! 😘😘😘❤️❤️👍👍

Don't Fear the Unknown #specialtrait

It could hold away your special trait.

When you feel an odd sensation of you evolving, give it a chance to peak to see what it is. You could be hiding your special trait.

You Achieve What You Feel 👍❤️ #lorijean #achievewhatyoufeel

If you feel you can't achieve you won't. If you picture what you want inside of you day after day the picture will become your realism. Your realism will become your achievements. 

And you WILL achieve. ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

Speak Your 'Self'

I was raised the perfect little Catholic girl. Keep my mouth quiet of all oddness in my life and all will go smooth. The bumps became so big that the hole that was dug from them I couldn't get out of. I had to journey through it waiting, wishing, and learning how to get out of it. 

'Speak' one word if not more to your brother, sister, or neighbor-perhaps at a time.

🙏🌞👍💕😘❤️🙅🏻

Reflecting Back

I suffered hypoxic encephalopathy in 1990. I was told I would never retain information academically again. I am 6 classes away from finishing my BA in English which I started in 2011, I have an album release in March titled Super Lady, and a wonderful label that produces and promotes some of my songs, as well as many radio stations that play my music. Namaste
