Listener (Fan) E-Mail "In-Box Jewel" :)

Greetings,

          This blog, In-Box Jewels, was born after I realized:  (1) blogs are free; (2) the possibility of monetizing this site while continuing to remain a commercial-free station; (3) I could maintain my anonymity whilst baring my soul and blogging off-subject on company time; and (4) getting and sharing the Holy Spirit through music, art, love and fun.  Last week I told my office manager I did not clock in because there was no work.  She told me “Never do that again. It is not your problem that there is no work here. In the future clock in.”  I was going to argue with her this could be construed as dishonest but quickly came to my senses and enthusiastically simply replied “okay.” Hence, here I sit sharing with you guilt-free, dear readers, my heart and "In-Box Jewels"  from Funk Sanctum Internet Radio and djGoddessa’s In-Box.

          As many of you know, I recently experienced a big fat financial loss like some of you. When considering how to streamline my budget to survive these times, my little hobby station since 1990, Funk Sanctum Internet Radio, topped my list of not being necessary for my survival on this planet, closing the station was my logical next step. As fate would have it, however, I received this letter from a fan (or possibly someone from live365.com who could “smell” they could not be getting those monthly fees from me):

 “Hey Sis-
           I've been listening to [you] off and on for a very long time on Live365. (I think I found you '02, or '03). I've watched you evolved and I LOVE where you're at now. I can't tell how much your program means to me. It's almost as important as the air that I breath. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING IT BLACK AND FUNKY.
                                                                     God Bless,
                                                                     Khepfere”   (Emphasis in original.)

          How can I shut down Funk Sanctum after receiving this e-mail?  My programming means something to someone and is healing someone other than myself, so I now feel a renewed obligation to continue.  This e-mail from “Khepfere” (who I do not know and cannot find and has not subsequently written me) inspired me to create some buzz around Funk Sanctum Internet Radio and djGoddessa.  Who knows?  Maybe I will even get a sponsor who will continue to let me play my personal favorites in Underground Spiritual House Music, Intelligent Dance, Independent and/or Unsigned Artists, Techno, World Music, Psychedelic Jazz, R&B, Funk, Electronic, Urban, House Music and Dance Music.

          The main theme of Funk Sanctum Internet Radio is NO COMMERCIALS!  You will never hear interruptions by advertisers. There will never be pledge drives. You will never hear anyone begging for money. Actually, you will never, ever hear me. What you will hear is commercial-free PURE MUSIC, so clear the furniture, turn up your speakers, click play, and dance with me.

         “Why is a commercial-free station important and how can you do that, dj Goddessa?” you ask.

           dj Goddessa responds:

           “I pay more for a "Pro" account whereby the stream's content, and live365.com cannot throw ads in. Secondly, Funk Sanctum is 100% legal thereby paying all royalties, fees, etc., I am actually giving back to the music community and supporting the individual musicians and artists.”

          It is now 7:17 a.m., here.  The head file clerk just walked by my desk. She thought I was working because she heard these keys banging. She does not even think it strange that I have a big smile on my face even though the work here is hardly ever funny!

          It is now 7:28 a.m., and the office manager has arrived. I have got to keep these fingers typing. The building’s air conditioner just kicked in. Turning on my personal heater under my desk (against the rules). Trying to be an upstanding, law-abiding citizen, but some of the manmade rules and laws seem impossible for anyone to follow. How can I type with frozen fingers? Speaking of rules, I guess the main insane rule here is no personal use of the Internet!  (LMAO)

          I am inviting you to subscribe to this blog, In-Box Jewels. where we will be getting and sharing the Holy Spirit through music, art, love and fun. Also, please let me know how you think I am progressing.  If you enjoy discovering independent, underground music, spiritual house music, intelligent dance, unsigned artists, World Music, psychedelic jazz, R&B, Urban, etc., etc., in a commercial-free setting, join us in djGoddessa's Funk Sanctum Radio, streaming 24/7 on the Internet and on your personal handheld!  Use me. Share me. Join me. But most importantly, stay in the love and remember to share some love today! 

Love,
Me

Help, please...

Hello,

           I am too frustrated to check my In-Box now and am so frustrated with this page.  Can someone tell me why this page is now trying to have pop-ups on its own?  Then if i say allow popups, it is a blank page.  ??? How did that happen and where did that come from?  I want to curse publicly.

          Then, if that is not enough, what happened to Feedjit?  Now that's not working either on my page.  Is it down all around?  Is there anyone out there who can help me with my page?  Definitely makes me want to delete everything and start over.  Please help me if you are able. 

LOL, i deleted Feedjit and now do not have that popup thingie. lol-lol :))

Has anyone else who has used Feedjit experienced this problem? 

Now, on to the fun stuff:  HAPPY FRIDAY, FAMILY!

needing your vote!

Dear Family,

          Please do not sleep on this one because we only have a few days left of voting.  Today's Jewel from my In-Box is from my main man, Teddy Presberg, guitarist and improvisational composer, who always holds an honored place in Funk Sanctum Radio and my heart.  He says:

"I'm honored to be nominated by the Riverfront Times as the Jam Artist of the Year in Saint Louis. (mainly because i love peanut butter) . . . It would mean a lot if you could take 1 minute of your time and vote for me at this online ballot."

http://polls.riverfronttimes.com/polls/stl/musicshowcase2010/
Teddy needs our votes by June 5th! So please hurry and share the news with a friend!
All you need is a valid email address and you don't need to be from Saint Louis to vote.
You can also write him in for "Best Live Band" and my album "Outcries from a Sea of Red" for "Best Album."

Tuesday Tag-Along"

 

Could not believe i was getting sick so therefore did not nip it in the bud, and as a result, too sick to go to work today and am staying home to recuperate.  As luck would have it, the first interesting blog i found today is Twee Poppets' and hope you enjoy this as well and get followers.

Trying to feel better with the Vitamin D3, will let you know how long it takes.  :)
