Erykah Badu Listenting Session

Erykah Badu

Erykah speaks prior to the music & let's attendees know that we will be visually stimulated. Along with great music an original Francis Ford Coppolla movie will serve as the backdrop to her wonderful album "New AmErykah" for the evening.

Erykah Badu welcomes CHANGE...
December 2010 we will see another eclipse of the moon, which is the meaning behind the start time of 8:45pm for the event.Erykah explains to the audience...
In a beautiful thought, she evokes that we must teach the children...You're...First: A Spiritual being...Second: A Human being...Third: A Boy or a Girl...

Erykah Badu is an incredible entity...A listening party housed in the Allan Gray Museum in the with beautiful array of art surrounding the space. Your eyes were drawn to the form on the walls & your ears were embraced by a melodic flow that was Miss Erykah Badu...






The audience is standing room only packed from the front to back. Attendees filled the space with the main room vying for a perspective to view & hear the artist showcase her work.


Erykah speaks from the heart & answers every question asked of her. Her latest project on the first half of the album being released to the world. The upcoming release of her new magazine "FREQ" short for frequency. The magazine will be put out by the same people that publish Waxpoetics. Ms. Badu will present her views on fashion, music, health issues, sex issues & a column by Mumia. The publication will be a quarterly release, with an first release focused on the new album with the release numbers 00.

"My Valentine" By Sam Tease

I can just hear all of the sighs of relief now thatValentine's Day is finally over. For some it is a reminder of what they THINK is missing. The email below reminded me of what true love can be about and in the spirit of upliftment I felt compelled to share. Enjoy....

My Valentine

I have always been a "hopeless romantic", the sentimental one in the group, and the poster child for the "Can't Wait to Fall in Love" community. Anyone who really knows me, knows that I LOVE love…but I haven't had it yet. Every relationship I've ever had, I've always been grateful for the men who have come and gone because they have truly contributed to who I am today. The heartache and never feeling good enough, then, rip me apart over and over again, but now provides an idea of comfort that "there is so much in store for me". Yet, as a single woman of God, constantly and consistently pursuing a deeper and intimate level with Christ, I've come to realize how disillusioned I've been. I've had love all along…but never accepted it as my own…until now.

I've been desiring a love that knows me for me. That is unwavering and unconditional. That supports me when I'm falling. That loves me inspite of myself. That sees me and thinks longevity and not temporary moments of satisfaction. I've been patiently waiting for God to send me my "help mate"; the strategically designed man that God has made just for me…simply because I don't think I've met him yet. And if I have, I know that neither of us are ready for each other just quite yet.But I've come to realize the unmerited and divinely favored love of Jesus that He has given me all along. It dawned on me- how can I expect this idea of "flawlessness" from man?

I've learned that the main reason I've experience such heartache in my past relationships is because I have been expecting aspects of people's character that simply aren't there. I've looked for honesty and sincerity in dishonest and insincere people, comfort and contentment in the temporary, and greatness and eminence in mediocrity.

I'm done.I'm worth more.

So today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life, I am reverencing the true Love of my life that has been more to me than a man or this world could ever be. He has been there through it all. He never left me for someone else. He never played me like a fool. He never took me off a shelf when He needed attention and then put me back when He was done. He never lied or has given me half of Himself. He never made me His secret, part-time, or short term girl. He made me virtuous to withstand the winds of the world and the tides of the day. He is my true love. He is my beat of my heart.He is my peace of mind.

He is my Valentine.-- Tamra E. Sease

You Can Help An Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Competition Finalist!

Good morning!

My My friend Jamie Kiffel could use your support! She has a yet-to-be-published novel, The Winter of Flaming Pants, Possession, and My Renegade Mind, that is a semi-finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Competition! The winner will be published by Penguin, and chosen based on customer feedback.

The link to the free chapter excerpt is: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0011G9Y2M.

The book is about a neurotic book editor Lucas Paisel, who believes he is possessed by the ghost of his ex-girlfriend. As extremely neurotic as Lucas is, his thoughts express certain oddball worries that we all find ourselves thinking from time to time—and perhaps, if we were to let our thoughts go just a touch further, we would become quite a bit like Lucas. Yet Lucas not only has weird thinking, he has a weird life, complete with a wacky trip through New Jersey where he finds himself in a capsized boat, abducted by a monk, and racing in a coffin. All this, and a sidekick who is everything Lucas isn’t, complete with flaming pants.

To help Jamie out, check out the excerpt and post a review. It's that simple. Support our indie authors! Thank you!!
