New album 'Time Out'

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

'Time Out' - to pray 'Behind the Door' for more 'Faith Hope and Charity'. 'I Do' that, and I'm, 'Talking 'Bout a Child' who knows 'Yes Jesus Loves Me'. I truly want Him to continue to 'Break Me to Use Me' for His glory. So 'What Am I Living For'? to let you know that there is 'Power in the Blood' of Jesus to give you the strength and willingness to live peaceably with all men, doing your part to help the widow, feed the poor and free yourself. 'Have You Any Room' for Him?

Do you feel me? Then buy the album. You'll be inspired.

Peace & Blessings,

Cee.

Big Deal of the Week

My 5th album Time Out is now available at http://cdbaby.com/ceejosephs1. You can listen to snippets and download a song or two for free here http://ceejosephs.org/music.html. But buy the album, will you? I know you'll be blessed. It was written for you.

There's been a nice change to my website, http://ceejosephs.org Check it out here.

The concert in the park was a true blessing to me, and judging by the reception, I believe it was the same for the community members who came out. This community has a greater percentage of spanish-speaking members, and it would have been nice to have them more involved. I must say I tried, but maybe not hard enough. Many of them told me they enjoyed it though. Music has no language.So next time.

Tip of the Week

Today I was very busy on the computer and did not have time to cook lunch. So this is what I prepared: Sliced extra sharp cheese on rice cakes, a tangarine and a peach, and washed it down with apple-cranberry juice. What do you see? Colors! Yes. color is a great enhancer of appetite. Not only did I enjoy it, it was also satisfying because the fruits provided fiber (as well as vitamins and minerals). The cheese provided the protien, and of course the rice cakes gave carb-energy. I don't usually drink juice, but I needed some extra energy.I try to keep my sugar intake very low. After all there is no fiber in it.

Here's to a great summer! and Happy 4th!

Peace & Blessings,

Tip of the Week

Summer is here, and there will be times when we will not feel like slaving over the stove.But we still need to eat balanced, and healthy, meaning eating foods from the major food groups at each meal. Left over baked chicken, with lettuce and tomato, in a pita bread, topped with shredded cheese and a light dressing makes a great meal that is easy to prepare and satisfies most of the needed nutrients. Here's to a great summer!
Peace & Blessings,

Here's what's happening

I'm excitedly in the production stage of my upcoming album. The creative part was very intense, as I am determined that this album will be 1) God-endorsed, 2) well done, and 3) worthy of your creative, intelligent, and highly spiritual self.

I am in the planning stage of the Make Music New York project @ Rufus King Park. There will be a line-up of great artistes, instrumentalists, choirs and soloists, doing Reggae/Caribbean, Traditional and Contemporary - as well as a word about HIV and Substance Abuse services being offered in the community.

We just did a nice thing for our clients here @ PSI. We honored their commitment to regular attendance with a special VIP luncheon, where we were the maitre-d, waiters and servers. They were very appreciative, as it is not often that these 'patrons' get to enjoy a sitdown meal affair.

Oh, and the Hungtington's Disease Dinner and Concert was truly uplifting and emotional, and I got to meet some wonderful people.

Well, for thos in town on June 21st, see you in the park!

Joy & Pain

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800

In the midst of the holidays' celebrations, my nephew, Akil, son of my late sister, Tansie was taken from us. Three losses in 3-4 years. My mother died last year. You know, I wondered for a long time, why it was that I am not making music at the rate I usually do. Why I would come home, and although I tell myself I need to start writing or recording, I end up watching TV and eating. It just occurred to me that I was profoundly affected by these losses. I was proud of the fact that I am strong, and know when to move on. The fact is, I was moving on, but at a snail's pace.

I am confident that God will see us through, and I crave your prayers and support in this time of bereavement. He leaves behing a sister and a brother, and I am very concerned about them.

Hi there,

My newest project is writing songs on nutrition & health; songs of encouragement to help us to be better warriors. You know that good nutritional health is the right arm of the gospel, and I am dedicated to the gospel of Christ.

So in my ministry will take on a slightly different perspective. As I minister in music, I will also share diet and nutrition information.

Please consider inviting me to your church, civic association, health club, home, party, or wherever you congregate. this is vital information, given the state of our country's health.

Thanks.

Last month I had the privilege of visiting St. Vincent and the Grenedines, where, with other gospel artistes, I ministered to the folks and was immensely blessed! I think, during the slave trade, they bussed (shipped) Jamaican slaves to inhabit St. Vincent. St Vincent is a mini Jamaica. : - ) This month I plan to film a music video, and have my first role in a movie. Well, that's it for now. Hit me on Facebook, MySpace, or right here on my guestbook. Always praying for you, Cee.

Achieving Peace and Blessings: Tips

Fri, 01 May 2009 00:00:00 -0700

For many of us, the goal of life isn't ultimate wealth, an accumulation of stuff, or the perfect car. It's peace and blessings, plain and simple. Living a life of peace means living peaceably with each other. This translates into blessings.

Do you know someone who seem not to have a care in the world? Some people may be created more blessed than others, with peace monogrammed on their DNA. For others, finding peace isn't always that simple. You weren't blessed that way.

But like any monogram, yours can be changed. With God's help you can rewrite your life to include as many of the following tips, and the ultimate goal of peace and blessings can be yours. If you've already achieved complete peace, well done!

1. Surround yourself with others who seem, and affirm themselves to be blessed.
If you are around angry, depressed or sad people, it will transfer to you. You can't help it. But if you are around people who are seem peaceful and untroubled, that will also transfer to you. You will also learn their habits, and learn to react the way they do when something bad happens. Slowly weed out the negative influences on your life and replace them with positive ones.

2. Count your blessings.
When something bad happens to you, try not to focus on it. Instead, take a minute to count your blessings. Everyone has good things in their lives, whether it is health or loved ones, a good job, or, whatever.

3. Gratitude sessions.
Along those lines, it is a good practice to have a daily gratitude session. Think about what you have to be thankful for, and silently thank those who have done something good for you in some way. If you have time, take the time to call them or email them to thank them.

4. Think solutions.
Instead of thinking about problems, move to the next step: how to solve it. When someone says to me, "Oh, this is so hard," or "Oh, I can't seem to do this," I just ask them, "Well, what's the solution?" If you develop solution-oriented thinking, you will be much more peaceful. The solution will come. Then you will see your blessings.

5. Connect with others.
As much as possible, spend time with those you love, and with others who you enjoy. It could be a simple phone call, or a short visit. Or take a day with the person or people you'd like to spend time with. Have a conversation, do things together, be intimate.

6. Accept things.
We are often unaware of it, but we usually want things or people or ourselves to change. And that's a sure way to not have peace, or feel blessed. We cannot control the world. We have to accept things as they are, try to understand them, even love them. Including and most especially ourselves: accept who you are, allow yourself to be yourself, try to understand and love yourself. Then do the same with the others in your life.

7.Get a life.
Instead of rushing from one thing to another, resolve to have less to do each day, less appointments and fewer tasks. Then do each thing slowly, with mindfulness and ease, and try to be present in the moment. And truly enjoy whatever it is you do, from talking to eating to walking to just sitting.

8. Notice small things.
As with having a life, try to notice when you are blessed; that you are not suffering, or that you are tasting something really delicious, or you feel cozy and warm, you found a parking spot, anything. Noticing the little things will help keep a smile of peace on your face!

9. Treat yourself.
Take a few minutes each day to give yourself a little treat, whether it is a bubble bath, or eating ice cream, or curling up with a book, or taking a nap. You deserve it.

10. This, too, shall pass.
When bad things happen, and you're having trouble accepting it, think to yourself the same thing the ancients did: "This, too, shall pass." And it will. Then be thankful for the blessings of survival.

11. Volunteer.
When you give to others, whether it is money or the things you no longer need, or your time and love, you feel more at peace with yourself. You feel and experience the blessings of your unselfishness. It is true. Take 5 minutes today to call a charity and volunteer to donate some time. It will make a big difference in your life.

12. Follow your passions.
If you do what you love to do, especially for a living,you will be filled with peace, blessings will flow, and you will be extremely happy. This is one of the best things you can do. If it seems impossible, don't give up. Others have done it and you can too.

13. Look at your achievements.
Instead of looking at what you have not done, or what you have failed at, think about what you have done. Many times that is much more than we realize.

14. Laugh.
Just the simple act of laughing can make you feel at peace. Watch a funny movie, tell jokes, read a book, listen to some music lyrics. Go to humor sites on the Internet. And laugh your head off.

15. Get into the flow.
Lose yourself in a challenging (but accomplishable) task and forget about the world around you. It leads to peace, and productivity. Set yourself up for it by clearing distractions, giving yourself time, and making it something that you like doing.

16. Have a goal. Too many goals will lead to frustration. Try to choose one goal and really focus on it. And work to accomplish it. Goals lead to peace and blessings if you make progress on them.

17. Get inspired.
Take time to read blogs or books or magazine articles about success stories related to what you want to do. It will get you energized.

18. Do what you love.
Make room in your life by eliminating some of the commitments you do not really like doing, and replacing them with something you truly love.

19. Show acts of kindness.
Each day, try to be kind to others in little ways, opening doors, smiling, giving a compliment.

21. Eat right.
Learn the right way to eat to maintain a good weight and nutrition. Go to this site. Eating right leads to great blessings of good health.

22. Exercise.
Just a short walk or run could give you peace by lifting your spirits,and reducing stress. Nothing difficult. Just get outside and move.

23. Check out nature.
Walk in the snow. Go and watch a sunrise or sunset. Follow the stream. Bathe in the river. Watch the stars, or the clouds. Watch animals. Watch people. Watch children. And be inspired and blessed by it all. A peace that passes all understanding will wash over you.

24. Catch negative thoughts..
Monitor your thoughts. When you catch negative ones, try positive thinking instead.

25. Learn something new.
It is strange how many of us are afraid to try new things, or admit we do not know something. But learning new skills or new information is one of the most fun things there is to do. Give it a try. the bible is a big help. As is the simple act of listening to peaceful music. It allows us to think positive, uplifting thoughts that leads to trying new things.

26. Jealousy doesn't help.
Many people obscess about others who are blessed, or seem at peace, not worried. That gets you nowhere, fast. Instead, be happy for them. Then focus on yourself, and what you do right.
And instead, you can focus on reading books and listening to peaceful music that lifts you up.

27. Celebrate. When you do something right, when you accomplish something, when you feel like it, reward yourself. Celebrate. Have fun, and pat yourself on the back, and know you are blessed. This will give you peace.

Lastly, if we think of each other as an image of ourselves, then it will be easy to give more good than we take. This brings ultimate peace and blessings.

Peace & Blessings
