(NOTE: This is the third installment of Part II of the Follow Your Bliss/Live Your Life Purpose Series.)

Tair Ta'ir, H.H.B.M. SAVE MONEY: The Softest Hands AND Feet for Under $15!

Anyone who frequents a spa or who has visited a spa at least one time in their life knows that it is a heavenly experience. You also know how costly this type of necessary indulging can be as well. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve went over a spa menu trying to decide which treatment(s) I could (or couldn’t) afford that particular day. Often times I would have to sacrifice a foot reflexology treatment or sports massage, for example, for a rejuvenating foot facial or hand facial. Not any mor… Continue

I guess I'll get it! Some said traumatized by to much tragedy in her youth makes her act up, cut up wild and uncouth Remember I said people I a… Continue

Tair Ta'ir, H.H.B.M. ENCOURAGEMENT: What Call Are You Responding To?

(NOTE: This is the second installment of Part II of the Follow Your Bliss/Live Your Life Purpose Series.) Why did I quit my job? I quit my job because I got really, really sick. I got really, really sick and tired of using my gifts, talents, and skills to contribute to the advancement of my employer on one hand and to my supervisor’s nonprofit ventures on the other hand while yet remaining financially (and to a degree psychologically) stale and stagnate in my own existence.… Continue

Tair Ta'ir, H.H.B.M. ENCOURAGEMENT: Before You Die There Is One Thing You Must Know and Do!

It is more than sad, unfortunate, egregious, or a crying shame for a person to leave this earth having never known, or having known but never having lived, their divine purpose in life. Such an existence, specifically in the latter case, is absolutely criminal. Indeed, it is a colossal personal loss, a very, very serious human rights violation, and an extreme offense against God who did not predestine His creatures to walk the earth aimlessly and without purpose. On the contrary, God ordained a… Continue

Rebecca Shepherd When you lose friends!

This year has been brutal and thought provoking. Loss is a loss,no matter how it comes. My Mom said to me one day as we sat on the porch, my face drawn and pensive, the corner's of my mouth turned down. She said," All great loves end in tragedy, either by death or seperation"! I shall never forget that day, it was shortly after she had lost her husband/Poppa to Cancer, most of you know I lost a little one to cancer just three years ago. Even though I know those who have passed over are free from… Continue

Tair Ta'ir, H.H.B.M. ENCOURAGEMENT: Ascending the Stairway of Gratitude

His stories were definitely saddening and even horrifying. He told of one loss after another, after another, after another … including at times feeling like almost losing his mind. He mentioned one setback after another, after another, after another … and how he, though completely jaded, would always manage to muster up the strength to continue working towards fulfilling his dreams and attaining his goals in spite of very difficult delays. He spoke of one failure after another, after another, af… Continue

INTERVIEW ARTIST: Purpose

BY: Najashi
Interview
Najashi`s Narrations Vibe Views

Ian Chang, 'Purpose' is a talented singer who ventured into music at a very tender age.

"I can remember when I would pound desks and sing at school ", he says. Like most Jamaican artistes, Purpose nurtured his singing in church and was encouraged by his mother, while taking his inspiration from legendary Jamaican singers like Garnet Silk, Jah Cure and International Artistes like Michael Bolton and Ray Charles.

A promising and very enthusiatic performer, who has preformed locally as well as on the international stage.

Purpose hopes to leave a positive mark in the music industry. His songs are about the struggles faced in our daily life, they encourages faith and perseverance.

Purpose has a smooth and charming delivery with the most touching lyrics heard in years.
One listen to Purpose and you will see and feel why this artist is destined for greatness.

Currently, Purpose is working on his upcoming album with JABUKEM Music Group producer Alex Martin- Blanken.

It is Purpose conviction to stay true and real and he vows to keep his music positive.

Watch out for Purpose coming at you, with Fresh Music with a Positive Flow.

What is the meaning of your name?

Realizing that there was a call on my life to amplify love through music and seeing that I always try to maintain a conscious and positive outlook be it in my music or my life, I chose the name Purpose which means mandated, convicted. Reggae music needs this type of conviction, a man is only as strong as his purpose, It is my purpose (my mandate, my conviction) to bring back to reggae music a more positive and conscious voice

What does your music bring to the reggae genre?

My music , my songs, brings about the conscience that the genre has yearned for. It's sincere and soul touching lyrics in its truest ,purest and most humble form. My concerns are for the people, the common people, the children, the poor, those suffering, those looking for a way out. Thats what my music brings to the reggae genre, concern for the everyday people not bling bling, flashy videos and big bank accounts , just plain and true concern

Who influenced you? And what is your motivation?

My influence comes from the almighty himself and life, and my motivation again is life ,watching what my music does to people, how it moves and inspires them, along with the joy and fulfillment I get from that. When I hear people singing my songs and enjoying the lyrics (because I write for the young and the old) that motivates me beyond anything else.

What do you see as the future of reggae and music in general?

I see reggae music in the future touching lives and changing mindsets, as long as we realise and embrace the fact that there is a new voice a fresh voice a generation of artiste who are committed to the task then we will see some phenomenal results, but music all is all has a good looking future, music is part of life.

Playing or recording what do you prefer?

I cant play music to save my life so that's easy, I prefer recording, it is very fulfilling to take some words off a piece of paper add music and make a song for all to enjoy.

Please tell the folks what you would like them to know.

That purpose is serious about his music, I'm not fake I mean what I sing. I want to see people loving, laughing, praising, dancing and living. and I am real emotional about my music, but don't tell anyone.
