Immortalized in a Marvel Comic!!

In the late 90's, I waitressed at Marvel Mania and fell in love with Marvel comics. To this day, working at that restaurant hold some of the most fun dear memories for me. I worked there the entire time it was open and even got to meet Stan Lee before the grand opening. 

As fun as it was to work at Marvel Mania, I was a single Mom then trying to also live my dreams and launch my Entertainment career. Although I was able to see it as a possibility in my head, there was a lot of learning and maturing I had to so and I still had a long way to go. The fact that I am now immortalized forever in a Marvel Comic has me over the moon happy. I honestly give thanks to God because dreams do come true in the sweetest ways imaginable so friends don't ever give up. 

Here are some shots from the comic book "Marvel 34 Avengers End Times." There is even a shot of me with my heroes, my favorite Marvel superheroes who in this story, are my fellow superheroes. Imagine that. :) To purchase a copy of Marvel 34 Avengers End Times or any other comic book please find a store by using this Comic Shop Locator

Tee-riffic: Sade

When I was a little girl, my Mom introduced me to a beautiful singer and her name is Sade. I would borrow my mom's cassettes and listen to her music over and over again. Then fast forward to the greatest love I'd known before my husband. He reunited me with Sade and since then I have enjoyed her music in times of love, in times of struggle, in times of peace and relaxation, when taking a bath, meditating, or daydreaming. I have loved her so much. She has uplifted my spirits, coaxed me, made me feel sexy, and has set me free. When I found out she was going to be in concert, I just had to see her. I almost thought I wasn't going to be able to since while she was playing at The Staples Center near my home, I was in Malaysia to DJ. The one night I would be here, the tickets were way too much (not that she isn't worth every penny) still, it was almost $1,000.. but then my hubby had a brain blast and looked for tickets in Orange County so I did get to see her after all!! Not only did we pay much less, but the seats were better than what we would've gotten before, and it was a gift for my birthday!! Thank you baby. <3

I have seen quite a few concerts. Unforgettable shows. But I can honestly say seeing Sade has been a life changer. To sing her songs with her, it was mind blowing. She was beautiful, timeless, classy, and she sounded amazing. The sets were gorgeous, the song selection, divine. I'd never cried at a concert before. Never before her. 

John Legend opened and was truly stellar.  He sang his hits including an unreleased song called Dream that will be on his new album. I was so moved when he shared this with us and then he sang "Ordinary People" oh, my vision blurred and I thanked God because the last time I had heard that song, I was going through a tough time. I was hurting from the pain of my son's and my estrangement and him leaving my home.

Of course I couldn't help but think of you. I hope you know I take you with me wherever I go especially all places I find inspiring. It's a wonderful life and there are so many blessings waiting for us. I bet you didn't know you were at a Sade, John Legend concert but you were!! Hope you enjoy the vid, it was made with lotsa love.
