A repost from Linkedin. Photograph-unknown
Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We are all in “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us. We can not move to the back of the line. We can not step out of the line. We can not avoid the line.
So while we wait in line - Make moments count. Make priorities. Make the time. Make your gifts known. Make a nobody feel like a somebody. Make your voice heard. Make the small things big. Make someone smile. Make the change. Make up. Make peace. Make sure to tell your people they are loved. Make sure to have no regrets. Make sure you are ready. Make sure you forgive. Make sure you help others. Make sure you are mindful. Make sure your compassion is bigger than your ego. Make sure you live a happy and fulfilling life. Love more, Give more, Create memories.

Greetings Beautiful People. Since it's a hot day, I am staying in to write about a hot topic. "Racism" My short and to the point thought provoking opinion.
Believe Donald Trump and his constituents when he/they say, "I don't have a racist bone in my body."
Believe when I say, "Racism has nothing to do with the bones. Racism has everything to do with the heart and mind.

Hello beautiful people! So many creative people are afraid to show the world who they are, what they do, or worry about others not supporting, liking or stealing their work.

Therefore, I refuse to hide my music and creatives from the world. What's your Muse?

Hello beautiful people. Sitting here reminiscing. For those of you who live in Akron and knew of Singer/Songwriter Darrell Campbell and his smooth and baritone voice. Although he's been gone since 2005, He was one of the most talented artist of his time here in Akron, in spite of his disability and being in a wheelchair. We worked on several projects together. I really do miss him. R.I.H DC. This is a rehearsal TB video I took of us in 2003. https://youtu.be/1JPTtgU1pEQ

Hello beautiful people. "Ole School rhythm to rap" by Camilla
Teaching the young to dance.
Cruising on a Saturday night trying to find somewhere to dance in this one horse town for ole folks...
We happen to stop by a new spot that had a mix of ole school and new school partiers. The only DJ in the house was with the new school who was throwing a birthday bash. And the only music playing was rap that could be heard loudly through the entire place.
So I decided with my ole school self to crash the new school party on the other side.
I was amazed that only 3 people were on the dance floor. Two of them happen to be the birthday girl and boy, and the other a girl swaying her knees from side to side.
The other guests were mostly girls who had their faces in their phones. Back in the day, people who lined the walls that did not dance, were called wall flowers. In the present, I'll call them wall phones.
I spotted a couple of my ole school friends who blended in very well with this new school crowd. I wanted to dance, and being ole school there was no shame in my game, so Tane Taylor and I got on the dance floor and did some ole school moves. And we managed to get a few of the wall phones to join us on the floor.
The rap music started getting hard core as to tell us ole folks it was time for us to go. We know that some rap music can clear a room when it comes to ole schoolers trying to get their party on.
At that point the rap music didn't matter... I grabbed Ezzard McCall and we embraced the dance floor like it was ours. We weren’t listening to the verses but the beats instead, while making up moves as we hand danced gliding across the floor.
The few young folks that were up dancing was studying us as if we were dance instructors trying to copy our grooves. But sat down because they knew they couldn't make them moves.
I felt kind of bad because the host was dancing on his mic trying to get the rest of them up with no luck.
I can only say from what I experienced that night. Some of these new schoolers don't have no rhythm to their rap.

Hello beautiful people. My heart is heavy right now, but I know God has called a angel to be by his side. My dear friend Aric was a extraordinary actor, singer and performer. I was fortunate to have worked with him on (The Second Lady), a Randy Clark stage production. He will be missed dearly by many who knew him. When ever we spoke, the last time being 5 weeks ago, we would always end our conversations with I love you! Never pass up an opportunity to tell someone that you love them.
