Move It All Around

I love experiencing the excellency of the completion of a long work week. And here we are at Friday and it feels almost like experiencing nothing but blue skies. Thank God it’s Friday!

A day like this for me sparks passionate fires. Here is an idea to get you ready to toil through the night on the dance floor. Don’t spend your weekend chained to what you didn’t do while at work and what is left to do that you just couldn’t get to. 

You are still an outstanding leader, even when the highways of life take you away from your clear purpose, to experience moments of relaxation with the beautiful family and loved ones in your life. A good custom to exercise into your life would be to simply letting go and enjoying the weekend so that when you return to work, you will be well rested and ready for battle like a mighty warrior.

So, as you begin to dissipate the crowd of to-do items from you schedule as completed, perhaps my song “Move it All Around” can help to elate your thoughts to the celebration of victoriously enduring the week.  “Move it All Around” is a song about vacating the work scene on one of those days we are yelling TGIF, when we can change the pace of things by having a good time on Friday nights after a long work week and enjoying time with friends on the dance floor. It is #4 on my new cd Finally JNote, and I hope you will take the time to listen to it here and that the song captures your attention and flutters in your heart. If you like it, please like and comment on it on youtube so that I can know that it is relevant to you.  Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5vXbYqvnv0

Thank you for listening everyone and I wish to you a weekend filled with love, the beautiful things in life and the pouring down of blessings as numerous as the stars in the sky.

By the Way!

 

Tune in this Sunday, September 25, 2016, for my radio show Jazz on the JNote which will air from 7PM to 8PM on The English Connection Media as we celebrate the life and music of the legendary jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane who would have celebrated his 90^th birthday if he were alive today.  He is still here in spirit though leaving a legacy and a work load of music worth listening to. 

Please join me for beautiful jazz and talk, and on the English Connection Media from 7-8PM. 

Here is the link: http://mixlr.com/the-english-connection-media/  to listen to this week's show. 

Hope that you will have radio blaring with us. 

Cross-Cultural Revolutions and Resolutions for Three Kings 2016

Today is the 12th day of Christmas or what many would call 

Three Kings Day or Spanish Christmas.  

Me, the lover of Christmas, have been counting the 12 days of Christmas since December 25th, 2015, and here we have arrived to January 6th, 2016; a brand new year, day and if you are like me, another resolution to try to keep.

I have decided that this year's resolution will be different from the others. Two years ago I decided to give up drinking alcohol and two years later, have not picked up a drink since. Last year, I gave up pork and shell fish which I am still struggling with but I'm a foodie. LOL! This year, I decided for my resolution to be to love myself more and to simply enjoy life. How do I do that?

Read more books instead of trying to read into people or situations. Enjoy more music and find a way to be more culturally balanced, taking part in more of my heritage. I also came to realize that it is so important to celebrate yourself. Be happy for the little accomplishments. Remember that you must skein an inch before you reach the mile.  

So I started by treating myself to the most luxurious spa weekend and am reaping the benefits of finding stress relievers. If you did not know, stress can kill you. Better to grasp keeping that killer of hearts and healthy minds out of our systems or to find a way to balance it so it will not steal joy which is God-given and which no one or nothing should be able to take away. Often times, we do let things stand in the way of our own happiness. 

I pray that your 2016 will be filled with joy and will be stress-free. 

In keeping up with my heritage and culture, I produced a "Haitian Jazz mix" for my show Jazz on the Jnote which will air on WNYE 91.5, this Sunday, January  10, 2016 at 7:30PM, in celebration of the 212 year of independence which Haiti celebrated on January 1st.  

On Sunday evening, January 10, 2016, tune into WNYE 91.5FM at 7:30PM, when Medgar Evers College Radio takes over their airwaves, with Jazz on the JNote hosted by Stephanie Jeannot and bringing to you, a jazz-music and talk radio show . This edition will feature music from Tabou Combo, Nu Look, Carimi, Kassav and more. Please join me Sunday, January 10, 2016 at 7:30pm and get your Compas on with me. Until then, peace!!!
