Truly NOTHIN'!!!!  :) :) :)  :) :) :) :)

Good Night, Michael

Michael Maddox

Today was the passing of fashion show producer and runway instructor MICHAEL MADDOX.  I have never actually met him, but once, I sent him an e-mail, telling him how much I enjoyed watching a YouTube video of him and a group of young models he had helped put on the road to realizing their professional dreams.  I recall he sent me back a polite note and that was that.

Since my e-mail to him, though, I have heard some not-so-flattering things about him and have read some really incredible tributes to him posted to his Facebook page.  So, whatever the real story is, I hope and pray his transition into "The Other" world was painless.  Cancer is what took him outta here.  What a wicked, wicked disease.

Anyway, I hope those who loved him will find some peace in his being spared from any more pain and suffering.  All deaths aren't tragic.  They're simply inescapable.

God rest his soul.  He was born the same year as I.

The Avenger

This past week, I've been driving a white, 2013 or '14 Dodge Avenger.  I can't say that I've ever really heard much about the model, but I like it.  Not as much as I like the 2014 Chevy Malibu, but hey, it'll do!  I'll return it Tuesday and pick up something else on Wednesday.  I sure hope a Chevy Malibu is on the lot, 'cause that dang car was/is NIIIIIIIIICE!

But, heck, as my mama used to always say:  "Beggars can't be choosers."  She also said:  "You pay the cost to be the boss."  So, since I'm paying, I reckon I can request a Malibu if I want one!  Yep!  :)  

New BEGINNING

As long as God feels a need to AWAKEN me from slumber, I shall begin anew.

Every...

Single...

Time.

To Whom It May Concern

I can introduce you to someone SPECIAL.
But what I can't do is make you APPRECIATE him.

Perfect "Strangers"

SUSAN LEVINE

I spent Thanksgiving night with a family the outside world would deem, "strangers," because I had never met them before.  Well, to me, they were simply people.  People just like me.  People who want to love and be loved in return.  Therefore, they weren't strangers to me.  They were extensions of me.  Heck, truth be told, they were kind.  And generous.  And Susan, the matriarch, cooked her heinie off!!!!  If they invite me back on New Year's Eve, I'm goin'.  Happily.

I have NEVER met a "stranger."

OPRAH & Tyshawn Bryant's GREEN REGIMEN

Don't ask me how I know, but I feel supremely confident that one day Tyshawn's GREEN REGIMEN smoothie idea is gonna take him places he's never been.  And Introduce him to people he's never met.  And assist him in living the life he truly wants.

If the Law Of Attraction is in his favor, his projection of the image above (despite it being "sweetened"), might very well come to pass.  I sure hope so.

I wish him the best.  And love him dearly.
