Lyrically Yours

Lyrics encourage us to sing, love, dance, dream, hope, and imagine. Songs awaken our senses with every verse and bridge. Albums create a visual reality that lies dormant in our souls. We need music because it comforts, soothes, and makes us groove. Music enhances a good day and eases a bad one. Music brings peace of mind to the diverse world that we live in. The rhythm of an individual heart is different from the next, but it's music. The cadence of individuals strides constantly plays in the background of their minds. I'm just saying people, we know the words to our songs. We understand the lyrics because daily we produce the ultimate album...conversations.

Royal Blue

I can't help but notice all the commotion about Monique lately. The negative remarks can overshadow her phenomenal accomplishment...Academy Award winner. Monique is only the fourth African-American woman to receive such an honor in 82 years. Some people feel that she is arrogant about her win. I feel that she is confident about herself. She always pays homage to the greatness that came before in everything that she does, hence her blessings will always be unlimited. I'm not surprised at Sammy J, because he is very opinionated towards actors that are not classically trained like himself. I'm just saying people, sometimes we forget that just because our blood lines are tainted it doesn't mean it's not royal. We are royal just as Monique, Sandra, Meryl,and Gabourey all are. That's exactly why Monique's dress fits the occasion.
