I often find myself  amazed these days that I see the elements of Life coming down to seemingly a few basic principles.  As I prepare to write and share with you, I think to myself...you must sound like a broken record.  The same precepts keep showing up when I consider, what are the fundamentals of Life? especially as it relates to Beauty.  Being a stand for living a "beautiful life/lifestyle" and examining what constitutes one, there seems to be a few essential components.  Out of all of these, the primary principle that comes up again and again for me is "Peace."  As I view it in the context of beauty, I come up with this example quite often.  Foundation i.e. make-up. I don't wear foundation anymore.  I really was never big on make-up.  But as with most women, I have had my seasons of experimenting with make-up, moreso as a young woman.  I am fortunate to be blessed with great genes from my mom so I have always had "good skin."...

I recall spending a lot of time playing a childhood game called "Connect The Dots."  Now, as a mature woman with a modicum of wisdom, I've discovered that this game reflects a central principle in the fabric of my life.  When I think about "Lifestyle" and my declaration of establishing a "beautiful lifestyle" for myself I realize that my "Lifestyle", and anyones for that matter, is constituted when we connect the dots of how we live.  Everybody "wants" the good life; to have a lifestyle that the world and the media tells us we should have;  the MTV life, lifestyle of the rich and famous, or  the celebrity life.  It's what most people seek.  My question is this: When you reconcile your desire for this "fabulous" life, how does it correlate to the life you now live?  The components of  how you live on a daily basis constitute the Lifestyle that you are living.  So to determine if you are en route on the path to the...

I am declaring the beginning of the next chapter in the book of my life.  I decided after my last show on Memorial Day Weekend to finally stop going.  I am taking myself off the road; I am not planning to do anymore hair, trade, cultural, or jazz shows in town or out of town.  I am stopping. Pausing...to really work on what I believe God wants me to do.  Earlier this year I got a revelation from God to speak and to write.  It has been ruminating in my soul every since.  But like most times...you keep going and going and don't follow the instructions until you feel you are ready or comfortable.  I do understand mentally that change is usually uncomfortable.  Stopping yourself in motion and being still is probably one of the hardest things that we must do as human beings.  At the same time that I have been conscious of the possibilities that lie ahead and even feeling excited about them most of the time, I do discern the spirit of fear that alw...

OMG!  This has been the longest I have been away from you all.  Well, it feels good to be back writing again.  This is really what I love to do!  I guess what I really love is Communication, whether is oral or written.  In any case, once March hits my Show calendar begins;  I have been at the Baltimore Natural Hair Show, The World Natural Hair, Health & Beauty Show in Atlanta (as an Instructor teaching "Hair Adornment"), DanceAfrica @ BAM, and lastly Capital Jazz festival in MD.  So...I am just now catching my breath and getting ready for Saratoga Jazz Festival next weekend.  But....I wanted to just reconnect.  I am planning to put on the brakes and get off the road after July, so that I can focus on my work differently.  This is much easier said that done.  It's such a total act of Faith! I have not received a paycheck from a job, since 1994!  So...diligence, persistence, passion, and above all Faith in God  saves the...
