My beautiful music fam, 💎💎💎

Thank you for everything you've shared with me over the past 24 hours. I've read your messages, stories, scriptures and they helped me breathe a little easier. A lot of you pointed out something I needed to hear: this season is about timing and being molded. A secret place where Yah works on the heart in ways you don't always see right away.

What stood out most is how many of you discerned the heart of the matter. You recognized the loneliness as consecration. As refinement. Some of you have walked through your own versions of this, and what you offered was hope and confirmation. Reminders that the Potter isolates the clay when He's molding it, that stillness and rolling solo so to speak is part of the process.

Several of you said the same things without knowing it. Words like "set apart," "His timing," "rest," "breakthrough." That's Yah speaking through His people, using your voices to reaffirm what He's already been sharing through His word. You reminded me that my tears are oil and my honesty is ministry. That transparency creates closeness. That this season of being alone is really preparation and purification. He's removing distractions, softening my heart, deepening my trust, and getting me ready for a greater reach.

When you said "I felt your tears," that was compassion. When you said "I've been there too," you shared a relatable experience. When you said "He's molding you," you hit me with a spiritual affirmation. When you said "Hold on, stay faithful," you gave me the beautiful gift of encouragement for endurance. Every text, comment, email, and call landed exactly where it needed to. You got it. You get it. I'm more grateful for that understanding than I know how to say.

My mom said something that struck me deep: when I was explaining all the growth I could see Yah doing in me and how proud I was of that, she said "that part right there honey is what's huge in Abba's eyes." Just recognizing it. That's wisdom.

Now, about this Friday's drop. I wrestled with whether to share it tomorrow or wait since we just had such a deep moment together and the vibe is completely different. I typically schedule uploads a week or more in advance, and this one was already set. This song is "Oh My Yah" and it's bold and confident and dare I might say edgy. Sometimes fresh energy is what we need. So I'm letting it go up as planned. By the way, Patreons you already have this inside.

Thank you for being here. I appreciate you.

Xavious grabbed my new Wonderful Sabbath + Freestyle Worship albums. 🙏🏾 Their note blessed me: "I love you Octavia… I am a fan from Florida and on the journey to praise the Most High through sound, rhythm, joy, scripture, and dance."

Lately I've been noticing more new faces finding out about the music, and it feels good! Grateful for everyone else who came through this weekend and grabbed Mind Flight, Good, and The Most High records. The music fam keeps this vision alive.

💎💎💎
Much love.

Yah Bless!

Before releasing Everybody Celebrating, I had to ask: Can someone outside the culture truly honor it? A candid conversation with my mastering engineer about respect. ✊🏽 Behind the scenes on Patreon.

No regular drop today, fam. Tomorrow’s something special!

✨ My new single “Everybody Celebrating” premieres Saturday, Nov 1 here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3xVmNaNU75k
+ the 100-page exclusive storybook drops next week!

This is the first single from my upcoming album Bring Back The Love. The release came sooner than planned after the feedback on the snippets. 🎶

The storybook highlights the people in the song. I didn’t realize how deep and interesting some of these stories would go. It’s 100 pages of research, discoveries, and tributes to 43 legends who inspire us. I’m really proud of it, and I think you’ll love it.

Let’s keep the positive vibes flowing!
Head up, shoulders back.

🌟 Shout-out to my sister, Eugenia! 🌟

I just want to take a moment to say how much I appreciate her. She’s been supporting my music for seven years, seriously, she’s been with me for a minute. Yesterday, she became one of my first Patreons, and also picked up one of my new journals, Enjoy Each Day, along with Journal Mix Volume 2, which dropped recently. Dang that’s love.

It’s not just about buying stuff. She shares my music with others, helping new people discover it. I honestly can’t put into words how much that means to me. I’m so grateful, and I just wanted to give her a proper shout-out.

I’ve been sharing testimonies all week, so here’s another one. E, you’re amazing, and I love who Yah has made you to be. 🧡

Shine, shine !

Hey music fam, I know we're all aware of what's happening in Jamaica, and I'm praying for everyone affected. Even in uncertain times, Yah is faithful. Another testimony came through this morning. 🙌🏽

Someone ordered 2 CDs from my site, Most High and Freestyle Worship, which was awesome, but it was their response when I reached out to say thank you that really made me stop and take it in.

"I initially discovered you on a radio app; I believe the WONI app. I believe it was 'Til the Wheels Fall Off' and I instantly vibed with your music. I found you on Apple Music and found inspiration. Your music spoke words that I assumed stayed in my own heart so when I say you're my favorite female artist; I mean it. To Yah be the glory, he allowed me to find your music when I was in a place where my faith was dwindling. It helped motivate me to stay in the word and stay close. Now, finding it again I'm hoping that it'll ignite the flame to get back closer in my word and to the Father."

All esteem to Yah. This is why I do what I do. 🧡

New music coming soon 🎶

Wow! I went to take a lunch break and get ready for my work creatively, and boom! Someone came through and bought 13 albums. Most of my music is pay what you want, any amount, and they were very gracious for my work. All I can say is thank you, Yah! I’m absolutely sending a personal thank you to this person, who I don’t know, but who was truly blessed by my music. 🎧

Woke up in the middle of the night to see someone bought my 2008 album "Radical Sabbatical" for $10.

That blessed me.

Made me think about and appreciate my whole walk with Yah - the seasons, the evolution, how truth travels with you even when we change. Wrote about it in this week's newsletter. 👉🏽 open.substack.com/pub/octavialifemusic/p/radical-s…

Because of this, I changed up Friday's music drop. Going back to that era with a song from "Radical Sabbatical."
