Hello new friends,
Welcome to my page. I thank you for taking the time to stop by and listen to my music and read my story.
People ask me why I wish to put my whole story out there for everyone to see. Why I chose to tell the truth behind the music choices of this CD. For one reason, there were very few people out there willing to talk about their own experiences when I was going through the betrayal and end of my marriage.
There’s a time when we all know, deep in our gut, that something is wrong, that something has changed, and somewhere we even know, life will never be the same. We all wake up to the same new day, but never know what it may bring. For me, I woke up one day to the end of my sixteen year marriage. I was one of those who never knew anything was wrong, thought I lived in the ideal dream. To me, there were no signs, no indication of another woman, another love, another anything, until that day. So my life slowly unraveled, my hope dashed with each new broken promise, my spirit choked with every breath I took. Most days I didn’t even know survival was an option, spiritual death seemed imminent. But like millions of people who have worked their way back from a broken love, broken marriage or broken dream, I too would find myself on a journey to where I am today. I may never be whole, but I am certainly not broken. Not anymore. If you’ve been there, you know. If you haven’t, you can imagine. As an author once said, “We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us”. And now I can see, not only am I now okay, I’m better than I ever was. There was a time of course, we were truly happy and always best friends, but that changed last year, 16 years into what we both had once thought of as... a loving and special marriage.
On my debut CD... "I CHOOSE ME", I chronicle the loss of my marriage, which meant the loss of my best friend, soulmate and love of my life.
Sometimes people change when no one is looking and then suddenly it’s too late. You turn around one day and all you thought you had together got swept away by a bad decision that keeps spiraling into more bad decisions. Such is my story, my marriage ending in his infidelity and betrayal. He never meant to hurt me or hurt us, and he would take every moment back...if he could. This I know. But the fact is...he changed and forgot to mention it. He made a huge mistake, one that could not be erased so easily. Forgiveness is monumental in moving on, but not always easy. I tell you this so if you’re going through anything similar, I can say.... it does get a whole lot better. I did try to hang in there, I tried to make it work, I didn't walk out until the bitter end, but he continued to do what he was doing to justify doing it! To quote an old 60's movie..."i ain't runnin' a mission for lost egos'... and so it was time to move on.
There is a way to move on without the bitterness or fear of loving someone again. We must know 'we are exactly where we are meant to be'. Life changes, we can adapt. We can forgive. We do learn from the pain. We can find comfort in God and ourselves. I hope my CD and choice of songs that will take you from the very beginning, when i knew ‘something’ was just not right... in the first song, Stevie Wonder’s “Lately” to the final song “Me”, showing how I now know I have to choose ME over the pain and discomfort of the past. To more than just survive, but to live life to it's fullest again.
Wishing you Love, Peace and Light,
Always, JOEI xoxo

LET IT GO!!
By T. D. Jakes
1. There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been for us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19] People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go!
2. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.Let them go!!
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.
God Bless You Eddie Vega & GiGi, xoxo
