will.i.am- The Yes We Can Song



Take a look at this inspiring piece pulled together by will.i.am. In it the producer sets Senator Barak Obama's New Hampshire debate speach to music and invites a few friends like John Legend, Common and Tatiana Ali to help breath life into a hope for change.

When you are truly inspired..
magic happens...
incredible things happen...
love happens..
(and with that combination)

"love, and inspiration"

change happens...

"change for the better"
Inspiration breeds change...

"Positive change"...

Mary J. Blige- Album Release Party: Dream Big!!




I had the privilege of being invited to attend Mary J. Blige's star studded album release party at Manhattan's upscale Soho Grand last night. All of the cameras flashed outside, but inside was another story. How was it that, I rode the up elevator with John Legend and Mario, directly after Tank exited the same; Maxwell stood a few feet a way. My head went back and forth looking at the bevvy of celebrities in attendance. I actually touched the rich fur that covered Ms. Patti, and was within arms length from Mary.
As she sat talking to LL's wife Simone and Al Reynolds who tried to talk her ear off, you could see that she was tired but joyful, gracious, and human. I didn't want to ruin the calm excitement that filled the room and my spirit with an intrusive camera flash. Instead I can hold onto the memories as they keep me moving forward on my journey.
I know that Mary never knew that she would have a party in her honor with the likes of Woody Allen celebrating her. Just like I never knew that I would even be in the room with, much less interview some of my favorite artists. Well actually I did know, and Mary probably did too...deep down inside.

Never Stop! You never know where your Dreams will take you.
Dream Big & Work Hard...
Merry Christmas!
