A lot of folks aren't familiar with what affirmations are, and yet we make them everyday. Many authors, pundits, personalities, workshop leaders, many you's, many me's, we all definite it differently.

in my mind, an affirmation is a statement of any sort that is made manifest in our world, reflecting our strong desires and intentions. If you're New Agey, you may have heard it in "The Secret," punk rockers blurt it out and change the shape of the world with their not so silent screams...and there's a reason why they call Soul songs "baby makin' music."

I'd been wondering what would be most fitting for my "someday album," it was always going to be recorded "tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow," and I have finally come to realize that, too, is an affirmation. Always keeping the birth of it outside myself.

So the affirmation project, too, is an experiment. It's an experiment in Staying in Love, standing strong in my pure intention, cultivating my desire to see the project born, stoking the fire, and watching the great results unfold.

Folks have told me so often that they enjoy my artistic body of work, and I realize I've recorded projects and singles mostly and mainly in collaboration.

The Affirmation Project is a baby with a 90 day gestation period. I'm raising her on a steady diet of affirmative thoughts.

I Affirm that The Affirmation Project, this healthy baby, is now being born, and I envision that it is successfully funded and sees the light of day, indelibly inspiring others to find their own healing, growth, and affirmation. And so it is!

Be Well,

Jianda
