Updated Tour Dates

Plenty has gone on since my last post, some good things and some bad things (personally). Thankfully, many good things came out of the bad so I'll shut up in regard to that- for now. What I will say is; one of those bad things was me not being able to attend my scheduled performance at BAC a couple weeks ago which saddened me a great deal. This was because I had a sudden emergency that threw me off everything that I had lined up over the days that followed. Sh*t happens. The situation could have been much worse, I am beyond thankful for that not being the case and extremely thankful for all the assistance and concern from others at the time. I had a revelation that day of 'everything happens for a reason.'

Moving on, things are much better now and are returning to a calmer state where I can refocus my energy back into my work, while being smarter with it as oppose to just relentlessly working harder. I am continuing on with my book tour as it comes to an end (I don't really want it to end as I'm having too much fun!), finishing off the special edition of I'm All In and doing preparations for my next book. See the July listing in the updated book tour poster below, these include more performances and a radio interview. Please note that more dates will follow regarding August.

What is also great, is the new cards that I made recently which made the recipients VERY happy. Naturally it makes me VERY HAPPY in return. Images will be seen from those cards in my soon to be released newsletters, sign-up to mailing list to receive it. To find out more about my Custom Poetry Greetings Cards click here,

#IWillSmileTodayBecause...

So the hashtag of the day on the Twitterverse is #IWillSmileTodayBecause and I love that because it's positive and uplifting, as were many of the tweets I read. I know I've said that I have been smiling more since my new year's resolution of 2015 but that hasn't been the case in recent weeks so I needed this today. Now I'm flashing my dimples all over the place and it feels damn good.

The subject had me thinking of why I ought to be smiling and I said to myself "I have all my teeth despite that my wisdom ones are coming out next month lol!" I can also smile because my Blackberry, internet, laptop and all other technology that I depend on daily is working without giving me any grief. My work is being appreciated and celebrated. I smile because good ideas continue to manifest in my active brain and I'm still always happy to learn. Sh*t continues to happen but I continue to fight my battles with my Amazonian self. I smile because I had good reasons to celebrate International Women's Day and World Book Day recently. I smile because I am loved. I smile because it brings positive energy.

In light of all this goodness I put together a collage of pictures that I could find of when I was smiling out of genuine happiness.

It's nice when you can look back at a photo, remember what you were doing at the time and know that you were not smiling just to pose but that it was out of pure happiness. Subjects like these make me think of Kirk Franklin's song Smile and the classic one hit wonder I Love Your Smile by Shanice.

I will continue to smile today because it looks good on me. I recommend you do the same.

Have a happy weekend,

Giving You What You Want

My latest newsletter for ya!

I issued it last week, includes information about recent performances, future events and a food/wine article of mine from Deevah's Cravings. Click here to view it properly in your internet browser.

All this marketing is no joke people let me tell you and this is coming from someone who works in media. I can promote a film or an event all day long but to promote myself has taken a whole lot of elbow grease lol. However, the positive feedback and demand from fans of my work makes it ALL WORTH-IT.

I'm happy to share with you as long as you are happy to receive. No innuendo intended.
