Dear Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr…. I am so grateful for your tenacity and willingness to go against the social norm and stand courageously in the face of ingnorance and intolerance, to give birth to one of the most brilliant displays of leadership this world has ever seen. You were an eloquent wordsmith, with genius of mind. Truly a beacon of light for every piece of darkness aching for salvation~
Happy birthday to a true “maverick”…

“Sleeping and Awakened Giants”
Posted in "Sleeping and Awakened Giants" with tags Bran'Nu, brandy, brandy norwood, Chrisette Michelle, giants, Jacob Luttrell, Keisha Renee, Ledisi on January 11, 2010 by lightcandySo, I was thinking…
I want to showcase wonderful talent that is finally catching the attention of the masses; also, talent just under the radar of being recognized for its greatness. I travel the world and experience “awesomeness” everywhere I go. I’d like to start sharing that “awesomeness” right here at the blog…
This could be the platform that supports the “Awakened Giants” already in the spotlight; and shoots the “Sleeping Giants” amongst the stars where they belong. Enjoy!

Posted in 1 with tags 2010, Dreams, Forgive, Happy New Year, love, Trust on December 31, 2009 by lightcandyHere’s to a safe and brilliant way of bringing the new year in…
What are you doing that’s taking you one step closer to realizing your dreams? Have you forgiven? Have you loved? Have you trusted? Who’s truly living out there; balls to the wall, taking your power back, letting courage obliterate fear? Are you allowing your passion to become apart of your life? The only time that’s ever happening is NOW ladies and gentlemen.
Do some shedding of old, stale and outdated thinking. Open up to the many wonders just beyond the veil of a seeming reality. Give yourself permission to win. WIN BIG… NO LIMITS… Abandon some labels you have on life. Try something new. Shake things up a bit. Love bigger, smile more, stand up for yourself, ask for clarity, trust your gut…. 2010 “GET IT IN”!!!
LOVE YOU,
Rho
