Dave Mac Creations Newsletter Feb. 2014

Expect the UnExpected Feb 1, 2014. Volume 1. Issue 1. Dave Mac Creations If you are interested in learning more about how to help out, write an article, or be included in this newsletter, please email [email protected] Pay it Forward I’ve decided to use this newsletter to also extend open arms to many collaborating people, organizations, and companies that I have been involved with and know of. In the months to come, each release, I will have a featured person, organization, or business that I would like to help promote. It’s just part of giving back. I feel like as humans, we all have an obligation to help others and to give back to society in a positive way. Networking is one of those ways that I feel is a huge part of that. To network means that you help people do what they too love doing or have worked hard to do. With the internet these days, it helps networking to be possible. I ask you all to check out those that I will recommend. Newsletter by: David L. McGowan WHY? Find something that you love doing. Make a brand. It’s that simple. Or is it? For many years, I have been involved with music, been a photographer, a writer, created artwork, and been a therapist. I’d say that being creative is probably the biggest thing that I enjoy. I’ve always wanted to help people, so combine all of those together and I guess you could say that would be the ideal “job” for me. But it takes much more than that; it takes time, it takes dedication and it takes knowing your craft. If you give up on something, it probably wasn’t meant to be in the first place? Right? Well, if you come back to it later but you’re better than before, then it means you just needed time to pass to show you the true meaning. Sometimes you just need time to improve the brand you seek/the person that you are. Throughout my life, the persona of “Dave Mac” has evolved but improved. I’ve searched for who he really is; I’ve searched for who I really am. All along, it’s all been there building up, but it has taken time to understand. I’ve always wanted to make a positive impact; Dave Mac Creations is just that. That is who I am. I hope that you find it in you that you enjoy who I am and seek for the person you are becoming. There’s no question that first and foremost, I have to introduce you all to Enchanted Moments by Mac Photography. Melane and I go way back. I’ve met a lot of photographers, but honestly, she is the best I have met. While teaching me so much, she has established a reputable company in Greensboro, NC. Weddings and portraits are her specialty. http://www.macphotographyonline.com/ https://www.facebook.com/MACPhotographyGSO Inspiration I’m no scholar or anything, but I like to think that I have helped many people through times in their life. I’ve learned that using my words is one of the best ways that I can influence other people. This column might just be a quote or could even be a short story of an experience which I have had. It might be something that I just have to share and tell involving ways to stay encouraged. I feel there is no better way to change the world than to take action. Inspiration helps people to act. Dave Mac Music Well, what can I say? I have been writing, producing, and recording for literally well over a decade now. I may not be the best and I doubt I’ll be incredibly famous, but music just does something to me that I cannot fully explain. It takes me away from reality but lets me express myself realistically. Someday, I’ll release an album, even though I keep talking about it. I will use this newsletter to host any updates, but for now, you can find some of my most recent music at http://www.reverbnation.com/musicofdavemac Image of the Release I take a lot of photographs and pictures as a professional photographer and just candid every day snap shots. I Love capturing the moment and being able to look back on it. Images can mean so many things. There are so many wonderful aspects, angles, and meanings an image can be interpreted as. I’ll use a section of this newsletter to host a significant image which I have taken. This release, just as a quick sample until next time, I’d like to share a beautiful image seen on my daily routine. In the future, more detail/description will be given to the Image of the Release.
