It's a sensational Saturday!

I already woke up feeling SUPER pumped to train (and just have a JB day and then I get a text from Michael saying did you hear what Perez Hilton said about you??? So I say no and proceed to think hmmm, what on earth could Perez have to say about your girl... Well, after doing my workout I already had a gang of happy hormones bumpin so I decided to confidently hit up www.perezhilton.com and search for his comments. I type the url and BOOM there I was front page. Front page... You all know I don't take anything for granted. He gave me HUGE shouts outs. Canada Stand up! My Mother has always said to me "Rest of you must but don't quit". Well, I'm one step closer Mom : )

Feel free to peep this link http://perezhilton.com/2008-03-29-listen-to-this-work-work-work#comment-1832033 read what he had to say. www.perezhilton.com

Off to rehearsal.

Smooches,

I'm so high on life right now it's CRAZY! Had a bit of a bumpy day today BUT the good ole treadmill got me through it. I'm back in the zone and kicking some serious Butt with my training. All I need now is for the snow bank that is still blocking my walk-way to melt for crying out loud...

It's been a bit since I checked in with you but with it being almost 2am I better get some rest as I'm doing double cardio this week and next... The Junos are in a week and I only started training hard again this past month. I'm So happy I focussed on building muscle last year or I'd be in BIG trouble come next week. Ladies, don't be afraid to pump iron. After all muscle is what burns fat...

Okay night, night.

Not sure why my blogs are coming up with symbols... Sorry. JB

What's up Fam?

I know I know It's been so long since I've checked in which I'm very sorry about. I know a lot of you check in everyday to see what I've been up to and I feel bad that I've been so scarce. I've been super busy but In hindsight I realize that with so much "stuff" happening emotionally and personally I had to take time to face these things head before I purged them to the world...

I'm here in Ottawa and wasn't feeling well but felt compelled to write so I'm just going to write what comes to mind...

Right now I'm trying not to dwell on unfair circumstances and just keep living in my life in faith. I'm trying to hold on to my attitude of hope and realize that all my hearts desires will happen in due season. People come and go, People aren't always who you think they are, People let you down, but really what does it matter what people think and do if you are totally honest with who you are and how you've treated them? Bottom line is I have to put my pride to the side and not be embarrassed if a relationship doesn't work or a friendship ends or a review isn't the greatest, etc. All I know is I've done the right thing when the wrong things were happening and that's what matters the most. When you sow in tears, you'll reap in joy - Joel Osteen.

So many beautiful and wonderful things have happened over the past 5 months that was of historic proportions yet unfair circumstances seem to come in and steal my joy. But I know the enemy fights you the hardest when he knows god has something big in store for you and this year I've been fought down but will not let the enemy win. I am a victor and not a victim.

A disappointment to us is god getting us ready to take you to the next level. For example, the weather hindered a very important person from making it to Toronto to see me play this past Friday. Flights were cancelled and it was simply an unfair circumstance that was out of everyone's control. However, I Immediately felt like it was another set back. I'm disappointed in myself for becoming doubtful when I have my entire country routing for me and helping to make black music from Canada contend. I have to stay focused...

I was blessed to play the 2008 Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and Share the stage and not just any stage but the legendary stage at the Masonic Temple (Concert hall) in Toronto with Alanis Morisette, Finger Eleven and others courtesy or CHUM FM and CMW (Canadian Music Week). I hosted the CMRA'S for the second year, I shot an Amazing Video for '"Until I Stay". I'm PLAYING AT THE 2008 JUNO AWARDS, I'm PLAYING AT THE 2008 JUNO AWARDS (I had to say it twice as that was a life long dream that will come true god willing on April 6th). I could keep going but it may seem like I'm bragging. All and all I need to stay focused. I need to work hard to bring REVIVAL to Platinum and to get picked up internationally and bring what I do to the word stage still reppin Canada all the way.

Nothing happens before its time.

Let's take relationships for instance. Would I like to be in a serious relationship that leads to marriage and children (Well maybe one and a dog), Of course, but to many of us skip the dating phase and dive right into commitment when you don't really know each other. Not to mention we ladies try to get way to calculated with how long things should take. We need to just LET things happen and not MAKE things happen, period, in work and in play. I had to learn that the hard way ... but I guess I needed to get my heart trampled on in order to have the material I'd need to write my next record : )

Anyway, Everyday when I wake up I see me first and when I go to bed I see me last... Being alone doesn't mean you have to feel lonely. And really, I have so many wonderful friends and family who love Jullyann for who she is so I'm really not alone.

I'm only human, of flesh and blood I'm made...

My Mom always says 'When you fall, you can't go further then the ground so get back up"...

So if at first I don't succeed, I'll dust myself and try again... Thanks Aaliyah (RIP).

Off to bed. Thanks for listening.

Smooches,

JB
