Have a great Christmas and a MEANINGFUL New Year

OH MY GOD. It’s the 24 th December. Erm, can somebody tell me what happened to the year? Where did it go? For me, it has just FLOWN.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Christmas to all my subscribers and customers. I also want to say sorry for not being around as much this year … things have been rather busy.

If you do not celebrate Christmas, than have a great time over this festive period. It’s a time to forget about the bad times, relish in the good times, and look onwards to the greater times.

So what’s in store for you next year? What are you going to do? Who are you going to help? How are you going to give? How you can change to become a better person? What’s the GOAL for you?

Many public figures died this year. One of them was a man that taught me a lot about life … his name was Jim Rohn. I will end this post with a quote from him:

“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.”

Have an amazing 2010.

Shamir Rele

    As the year draws to a close, my Vista computer is decidedly the worse one I’ve ever had, and my new digital piano will not play though my mixer, and I cannot load my new Harmoney Engine software. Other than that, life is good. A Merry Christmas to anyone who wants one. Ho ho ho

    I found your web site only in November and have learned many things about song writing. I am a beginner but I have played around with verse for many years. I am 74 yrs. of age and am going to spend the rest of my days praising God for the years He has given me.

    Lol @ random comments.

    Merry Christmas to yourself and family. My year went on depression and trying to get over it! However, it has been an excellent year for songwriting and with the help of a friend, I’ve managed to get through Christmas without popping one, silly happy pill :)

    Yay! Here’s to 2010. Thank you Shamir, your posts are always an inspiration.

  51. Anastasia Says:

    hey shamir! happy holidays. I think that with all the information you have already given me I could be all set for awhile haha. Even just some little tips that you have given me since I’ve suscribed have not only made me a better songwriter, but helped me remember what I loved about music in the first place. You have to be spontaneous in your writing…let your feelings about something out because If you try to hard to write a hit it’s not going to happen. That’s the biggest thing I’ve learned. Also knowing more about songwriting has inspired me to keep writing and pushed me to try harder. So thank you so much, hope you’ve had a great holiday.

    Anastasia, hopefully future songwriting singer pianist guitarist violinist hehe ;)

  52. Francisca Says:

    halo Shamir, thanks for all your mails it indeed encouraged me a lot. thanks once again and I wish you a very blissful and wonderful new year. do enjoy your holidays.

    Hello there,

    I enjoy your writing tips, ideas and now it’s easy to write songs without pulling my hair out. One thing I can tell you, I have found a music teacher who will help me to sing. He dose not charge that much at all and really I needed to take singing lessons. Check out my website and take a look around and sign my guestbook.

    Your Friend,
    Lisa J.

    “But late than never” that is what i feel — i have not been active the whole six weeks ! That was a special message for an special occassion that comes once in a year—merry chritmas and happy new year though such late. Last year has been so tough to me but as Robert Schuller says “Tough times never last for long but tough people do” i managed through 2009.
    How is the other side of your life. You have had a very good wedding with your wife. i still have those fotos. Are you still the two of you? God blessed me four and we are OK. I wish Gods blessings to you and your family in 2010 Shamir, and all your subscribers and fans too. My first album is out titled “Together we can”. I will soon post it in my website which i will host this week
    Happy new year.
