Confessions: Num. 23:23 'Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither ​is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of ​Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!' ​ ​Prayer Points ​ ​ 1. Thank God for being the God that answers prayers. ​ 2. I Cover myself with the blood of Jesus. ​ 3. I renounce every familiar spirit, and I reject their covenants, in the name of ​Jesus. 4. Every word, vision and dream that did not originate from the Holy Spirit, I ​render you null and void, in the name of Jesus. ​ 5. Every tree that God the Father has not planted for my life, be uprooted by ​fire, in the name of Jesus. ​

This week I Cover my all-time favorite Windows event, security event 4688: new process creation. If you do windows, incident, response, forensics, this is a must-know know artifact.

In this episode the Host and I Cover some of the Top FA the steelers brought in during the offseason as well as some of the FA they let go. Additionally, we cover some of the top prospects the steelers could potentially select in the upcoming draft enjoy!

In this episode, I share in-depth about some of the BIGGEST shifts that I have made in business recently by transitioning  over to talking about Feminine Leadership, Self Healing, Wealth and Relationships (what currently feels most alive for me) from mostly mindset, manifestation and self mastery related content (what used to change my life 5+ years ago). I deep dive into the fears that came up in the process, WHY I made that shift (hint: I was practicing this work already in my own life, business and relationship) and how my life & biz changed in the past 15 months. In This Episode, I Cover: >> The 3 major pillars that I have integrated into my business this year >> The massive changes + upgrades in my life, relationship and business >> Why I am letting go of the OLD way of running my business >> How slowing down allowed me to speed up in all life areas >> The realizations that allowed me to completely transform my relationship with my business, my romantic partner, and myself >> The challenges my partner and I went through, the power of recommitment and what we manifested after choosing each other over what felt 'easier' at the time Related IG Posts: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_8rubvuJj/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cow4eapjCxe/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CnRpYIkPKCB/ More resources for you: ⁠⁠FREE INTERACTIVE GUIDE⁠⁠ ⁠⁠FREE MASTERCLASS SERIES⁠⁠ ⁠⁠JOIN MY NEWSLETTER⁠⁠ ⁠⁠FREE TELEGRAM GROUP ⁠⁠ Offerings for you: ⁠⁠GET MENTORED 1-1⁠⁠ ⁠⁠GET CERTIFIED⁠⁠ ⁠JOIN MY MASTERMIND⁠ Thank you so much for tuning in, babe!

I get realll vulnerable with you in this one, babes… In this episode, I take you through what catalyzed my journey into the world of feminine leadership (hint: there was a time in my life when my life quality and relationship were suffering and I felt completely burnt out). My intention with this episode is to teach you why feminine leadership is so crucial for you if you're a female CEO (or just a female doing life!) and how to integrate feminine energy into your life, romance and business in order to ensure that you are living your life in a way that suits your unique energy and needs as a woman. Once you start living from a place of feminine flow, your whole life becomes extraaaa juicy. This is what I want for you! In This Episode, I Cover: >> How to utilize masculine and feminine energies to build a business sustainably >> The practices that allowed me to scale to multi 6 figures and avoid burnout >> What feminine leadership means and how to apply it in your biz and romance >> Why feminine leadership is important for female CEOs building their empire By the way babes, stick around until the end of the episode where I'll share some epic journal prompts with you! Here are just a few of them: Which beliefs, emotions, patterns and habits do you need to release to get to your next level? What do you currently value and do your daily actions and priorities reflect back those values? Which habits do you want to introduce to boost your well-being/ happiness/ income?

Bienvenidos amantes de la música. Hoy visitamos a Lester "Pres" Young (1909-1959) apodado el "presidente" de los saxofonistas por su amiga, la cantante Billie Holliday, con quién hicieron una dupla memorable. Era inconfundible con el sombrero "Pork Pie Hat" pero principalmente por su sonido único que desarrolló, con eso sentó las bases de los conceptos del solo en el Jazz moderno. Falleció tempranamente a los 49 años, por complicaciones de salud conectadas con su alcoholismo. Banda del disco de hoy: Lester Young, saxo tenor Buddy Rich, batería Nat "King" Cole, piano Los temas son: 1. I Cover the Waterfront 2. Somebody Loves Me 3. I've Found a New Baby 4. Back to the Land 5. I Want to Be Happy 6. Peg O' My Heart 7. Mean To Me 8. The Man I Love Nuestras recomendaciones: Guillermo: Billie Holiday y Lester Young.

""Telling It Like/Your Check Shirt" was created using samples extracted from a 30-minute 2013 shortwave broadcast of Radio Australia Jazz Notes.

Lloyd Mason – Jamaican Pre-Ska - Bass, Flute, Oboe, Piccolo The Val Bennett orchestra was playing dance music at a house party on Lloyd Mason’s street (7th Street in Greenwich Town) and a five year old Lloyd snuck out of the house to listen to the orchestra and he stayed there all night long. “Thats where I belong and I believe that’s where my music started – right there.” In 1945 at age ten, Lloyd was living with his mother and became unruly. Soon, his father came to get him and brought him to Stony Hill School. Lloyd’s father served in the Jamaican Army with the bandmaster and arranged for this move in order to teach Lloyd a trade or to learn music. Lloyd was not put into music immediately. He was taken to learn shoe-making. Six months later, the bandmaster came to speak with him and examined Lloyd’s fingers and his mouth, handed him a six-hole fife and said, “You’re going to learn this.” Bass player, Cluett Johnson’s brother was also a youth at Stony Hill School and he played the piccolo. Cluett’s brother taught Lloyd the fife. Roland Alphonso was also at Stony Hill and was playing the slide drum. Despoite his young age, Lloyd became accomplished at the flute in playing with Stony Hill Boy’s Band. Over at the Jamaican Military Band, a man named Spud Murphy was the drum major and the flute and piccolo player. As it came time for Spud Murphy to retire, The Military Band was challenged as it had no trained members to play the fife. None could read, write, or play the fife. To address this need, the Bandmaster for the Military Band spoke with the bandmaster at Stony Hill about Lloyd’s move to the Military Band. There was no audition for Lloyd Mason after Spud Murphy left. It was obvious who had the ability to fit the role. The fellow band members began to call him “Spuddy” or “Boy Mason.” Lloyd was the youngest person in the Jamaican Military Band and was a “young hand.” Marjorie Whylie (well known educator and Musical Director of The Jamaican National Dance Theatre Company) commented on the work of Mr. Mason, “Lloyd Mason is a well known bass player who can read music very well and is an absolute asset for musicians in his company.” _______________________________________________________ Selected Cuts: Off the “I Cover the Water Front” LP Port-O-Jam Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Lloyd Mason (Bass), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lowell Morris (Drums), Don Drummond (Trombone) “Sometimes I Am Happy” “Loafers and Wristless” “Grooving With The Beat” ________________________________________________________ Off the “Jazz Jamaica” LP, Studio One Records, Recorded at Federal Studios Featuring Don Drummond (Trombone), Ernest Ranglin (Guitar), Cecil Lloyd (Piano), Carl McLeod (Drums), Billy Cooke (Trumpet), Tommy McCook (Tenor Saxaphone), Roland Alphonso (Tenor Saxophone), Lloyd Mason (Bass). “Calypso Jazz” “Serenade In Sound” (Featuring Don Drummond) b “The Answer” (Featuring Tommy McCook)
