"Wow! Just listened [to] Gabbie McGee very nice... sophisticated and beautifully done...like the chord changes too!"
Before I get into "what's coming up next" I'd like to take a moment to express my extreme gratitude to all of you for the thoughtful messages, prayers and numerous acts of kindness during the transition of my sister Ledora, affectionately known as"Kisha"...
I'm excited and inspired by all of the good things going on in my life! And when I say “good”, I mean even the bad because all things can work together for your good if you let it. So, on this the eve of my 33rd birthday (9/04) I can honestly say that life has taught me to always look for the LIGHT when dark circumstances arise.

It is because of what I've learned as I live that I became an advocate for health and wellness education, especially within the African American community. Why? Because it could have been me! "Once upon a college campus" is another entry for another time, but TRUST...it could have very well been me...
"I found myself praying on the drive over to the rehearsal space "Lord thank you for this opportunity to use my gift for good. Let everything go according to YOUR plan. Let there be peace, harmony and order. Let YOU be seen in me and Lord, let me be Saphornia"...
