UPDATE...2

WOW! Its been a little over a month since my last post and with that being said it should explain a lot. Over this past month I have been working on so many things. 1. Music - I have been doing a lot of ministry engagments and I have a few out of state events that are coming up. Im really excited that doors are opening outside of Jersey! To my Jersey Fam,  so many people have been asking when will I do a full out concert with the band again. I know it's been a while the last one was Sept '09. Trust me I have been craving to do one but I have been planning a lot. So when I do finally do another concert it won't just be a concert. As far as the album goes, "My Growing Pains" is still coming out. I have some great news coming. I was just given permission to announce, but as soon as the time is right I will. Im just waiting for a couple things to line up and I will share this great news with you. "HERO" will be the first official single and we will be shooting a video for it in Aug. so look out for that. From what I am hearing I ahve a couple tour oppertunities coming up in the next couple of months. 2. Book "youngmindBIGDREAMS" - I just shot the book cover and promotional adds this past Sunday. I can't wait to see the final product. As far as the writing goes, I changed the concept. I was gong to do a book full of quotes, but after having conversations with a few writers and readers, they would love have the quotes along with explanantion and thought, so I am currently working on that. 3. Online - There will be a lot of changes. Launching in August, www.youngmindBIGDREAMS.net will have a new look, as well as concept. I was using the site to post flyers for upcoming concerts, and I was begining to lose the sites purpose. I never wanted to use it to promote me, I wanted to use it to inpsire you. So they new look will only feature inspirational thoughts and quotes that you can read, as well as give feedback. There will be plenty more offered with the site and as the launch approaches you will hear more about it. There will also be an official B-Luv website where you can check out all the exciting news going on within the ministry. Also, there will be a new layout for myspace, twitter, and youtube. Look out for B-Luv TV as well on my youtube chanel!

Other than that, there is so much more going on that I will speak on, just keep me in your prayers. Much love...B

My Thoughts of the Day..(Well over the last couple of days)

Well, let me start off by saying, how are you? Whats goin on fam!!! Theres so much going on with me, I don't know where to begin. I know many of you visit this site be inspired, so I would liek to know what you have been up to? Let me know, I'm pretty sure you have been on your grind, because I have been on mine! Between the studio, working on "My Growing Pains, 20 Years Young" - (I will explain more about this) and my book "youngmindBIGDREAMS" I have been busy! School, is in the way..LOL, but the smester is over in 2 weeks so I will have time to really focus and get these released this summer! I also mentioned before that I am launching a T-shirt line for "YMBD" (youngmindBIGDREAMS) and we have finally found a logo for the overall concept. I have some other projects going on that I can't speak on, but you will see soon..

I know to you this me seem overwhelming, and at times it is, but I live for this. DREAMERS LIVE TO REACH HEIGHTS THAT AN ARCHITECT CAN'T DESIGN! THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT ITS JUST THE BEGINNING! So yes, its a challenge, but what you may find as work, I see it as joy. When you find your passion, you will make it happen. So I pray that through endevours you are inspired to do the best you can to make your dream come true! So, we have the BOOK, the T-Shirt Line, Iphone App, oh the Album, So for those that dont know, I am working with a new marketing and management team www.wcnmarketin.com

So I will be re-releasing my album. The great thing about this is, my album didn't leave NJ. So to some it may seem like an old album but there are so many people who have never heard of me. There will be some changes, some songs are replaced, somethings we cut. Theres a better mix and master, new cover (shooting end of the month) a new graphic designer (which was a huge blessing..details coming soon) and of course marketing! Which also means, I may be touring!!!

Even with all that, there are things I want to acomplish. I'm hoping one of these years I can be apart of the GLive Tour in London, a guest on SteelRoots etc. There are a lot of thing I would like to do this summer! Anyway, Im about to be late for class, just wanted to lt you know whats going on! Love yall....

ALL YOU NEED...

 

WHEN YOU ARE CHASING YOUR DREAM, 999,999 PEOPLE CAN TELL YOU NO..IT'S WRONG, IT WON'T WORK, IT'S A BAD IDEA, ETC. BUT IF YOU GET 1 YES FROM GOD, NOTHING THEY SAY MATTERS! OUR MINDS ARE CLUTTERED BY "SMALL FRAMES" (DEPRESSION, DEFEAT) BUT GOD WANTS US TO SEE THE "BIGGER PICTURE" THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! DON'T BE DISTRACTED BY OPINIONS, LOOK AT THE GREATNESS OF GOD- "youngmindBIGDREAMS"

I DO THIS FROM MY HEART

FAITH...

BELIEVE EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE ITS IMPOSSIBLE!

ON THIS NIGHT WE BECOME LEGENDARY...EVERYTHING I DREAMED OF...

IF TONIGHT WAS THE LAST NIGHT I COULD STAND BEFORE PEOPLE, I WANTED TO MAKE IT A NIGHT NO ONE IN THE ROOM WOULD FORGET...I'm JUST GLAD SOMEONE CAPTURED THIS MOMENT FOR ME...TO YOU IT MAY BE A PICTURE, BUT TO ME ITS A GLIMPSE OF MY FUTURE....THANK YOU LIZ! 

WHEN I SAW THIS PICTURE, I WAS SPEECHLESS!! IT REMINDED ME THAT, NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY YOU CAN'T DO...AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE DRIVE TO DO IT...DO IT!  ENCOURAGE YOURSELF, BE YOUR OWN FAN, PUSH YOURSELF PAST THE COMMENTS, THE NEGATIVITY, THE DRAMA, THE TEARS, FRIENDS AND FOES! LAUGH AT YOUR HATERS, MAKE THE DREAM HAPPEN BY TRUSTING GOD. IT HURTS..TRUST ME I KNOW...BUT EVEN THROUGH THE PAIN KEEP IT PUSHING, IN THE END YOU WILL SEE YOUR HARD WORK PAY OFF, AND THOSE WHO STOOD IN YOUR WAY, WILL MOVE. YOU DO YOUR JOB AND DONT STOP! BE BETTER THAN WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT YOU. YOU DON'T THINK GOD DOESN'T HEAR THOSE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT YOU? HERES A SECRET, "GOD CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU OFF" SO.. LET THEM TALK, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE PRESENTED, YOU WILL BE SOMETHING THEY CAN NEVER BE....KEEP DREAMING....

I'M LIVING MINE..DON'T BE AFRAID TO LIVE YOURS!

This was taken by my sister Elizabeth Fernandez....at Bizarro World 1/29/10The lighting in the room, that night was emotional and Im so glad someone was there to capture that moment in high def.

I CAN'T - THE TRUE MEANING!

WHEN I SAY "I CANT" I REALLY MEAN "I WON'T ATEMPT TO MAKE MY DREAM A REALITY UNTIL I KNOW I WONT FAIL IN THE PROCESS" BUT IF YOUR DREAM IS WORTH THE HARD WORK IN MAKING IT THE BEST IT CAN BE, ITS WORTH MESSING UP TO MAKE IT AS PERFECT AS IT CAN BE. TRY, FAIL, TRY AND SUCCEED- "youngmindBIGDREAMS"

(DREAM BIGGER THAN WHAT YOUR AGE CAN IMAGINE AND BELIEVE WHAT YOUR FEARS WONT ALLOW)
