This photo is truly a flash back for me – I somedays never think I will find my self in the center of these people. And then there I am.
My life has taken so many turns… wife, mother, daughter, sister, cousin, niece, photographer are all titles I wear with honor and joy, but this one… poet, and perhaps friend are the ones I wear with such great honor because poet was the first title I chose for myself. It was not thrust upon me. I think sometimes that it was my first Adult voice and that was why it was so special to me.
Wednesday Night I got a chance to hear legendary house soul DJ Osunlade spin. My friends are music affectionados. And everything you hear in my studio that sounds like I know what the Sam-Sung should be filling your ipod probably came from them. between Maurice, Enoch, My Spoken and my husband I am never at a loss for AWESOME music. \
We got there early and happily for us they had some sweets for a “lets get this party started sugar rush”, from one of my favorite places for breakfast, Sweet-Art. I had a sip of somebody’s wine and it was time to shake our groove thangs.
Can I just say – we shook em til literally they had to be like – seriously you have to go.
Party ended at midnight – I don’t think we walked outta there til 2 am, and we were dancing the whole flippin time! Well til the last thirty minutes when Blu decided yoga would be a great idea and had half of my friends doing Yoga poses on the dance floor.
So really the point of this post is mostly to say – to my friends- THANK YOU for never letting go. You are always on the ready to make me feel like I never left, even when you rib me for my absences. And I love you all for it.
