Vote

 Tensions are high as many go to the polls in the morning. I just pray all goes well. We really don't need to see more destruction in our cities . I don't need to know your choice just let your voice be heard. If you are not part of the solution you know the rest :) God Bless us everyone

DIY: Frida Khalo inspired earrings

NYC

 19 years and I still meet folks who were there that day. Stories yet to be told but they tell them to a complete stranger . In Walmart a few months ago and the guy that was my cashier I told him love your accent:) He said you can hear it ? I was like Yes sir :) he started telling me what brought him to Florida. Those are the kind of stories yet to be heard a regular new yorker getting ready for the day not knowing what that day was going to bring. He even said how beautiful that day was. I recall how beautiful that day was as well. I sometimes wonder if loved ones just want to go about the day without thinking of it or if they always want us to remember that day? Each person handles tragic events in there own ways. But I hope and pray they know that those loved ones will never be forgotten

Being in a good place does not deny the fact of what is going on. You just can't afford to allow the negativity to invade your space .

Sailing

Kenneth Mosley Thank you! for sharing I have always loved that intro takes me back. I don't often like it when artists cover a classic. But Avant did this song justice

​I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Dear Mama

Dear Mama by tupac shows the other side that family and friends said that he wanted to share more of. This song will go down as a song for those who may not have had the perfect mother and child relationship. This day can be a hard one for so many. but even though he and she were not perfect! the fact that he took the time to put pen to paper and write this ode to his mother shows where his future was headed as a poet

Winans Wednesday

Obsessed with this album is not even the word to use. I played this cassette tape out until it DRAGGED!!!! yes I am A side B side old lol!!! When auto reverse set in LORD I thought I would faint.   Being a night owl Hoot,hoot I wrecked myself hearing a classic written by Marvin Winans just for his sister to sing. This song had me doing the UGLY cry .this family omg!! it's almost a crime to be that crazy gifted as singers and AMAZING songwriters . It's one thing to be able to sing a song but write songs that will carry on for generations that amazes me . I can't even pick a song off this album right now. But the one I heard a few minutes ago. the intro alone I LOVES. you can always tell the song by the intro

Janet Jackson - Come Back To Me (Official Music Video)





I remember being obsessed with MTV as a kid. I would watch for hours! Having always been a night owl and having to share just one tv YES!! one I used to sneak and watch . I was introduced to all kinds of musical styles because of it. I recall this video and visually seeing the backdrop wanted to know where this was shot. Back in the day they would even show how they created the videos and how it all came together. When i found out this place called Paris I fell in love . My heart yearns to one day go and see all the magic this beautiful city has to offer . This video inspired me to one day see Paris

Brother's Keeper

A royal expert told Fox News that Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship has hit an "all-time low" amid "Megxit."


I find it all sad what has taking place. It's very bittersweet all that the last few days has brought them as a family. Each I'm sure has dealt with the trauma of losing who who we called Princess Diana but was know only to each of them as mother. I hope they find themselves back in a better space. Waking up to see the wedding of Prince Harry I never would have thought what is taking place have ever happened. How many American girls would have had that kind of honor. One must really count up the cost. Feeling mixed emotions on this as I'm sure the Queens heart is hurting over this. I wonder what would have been the advice there mother would have given :(
