Good Day to all,
I am sooooooo tired, but I am happy.  It is something to try to divide time between my son's efforts (percussionist in the band and freshman in high school) and my career endeavors.  These few last months have been truly amazing watching my son on the field play his drum and get the fans moving.  He is a true percussionist immersing himself into every drum and learning each and every one.  I have truly taken on the "BAND MOM" persona.  I love being around those kids and giving them wisdom along the way.  Last night was so fun because it was Homecoming for the school (the football team lost), but the band was awesome as always.  Watching my boo on the field as one of the only freshman to make the marching band is just more than I can say.  Now while I play Band mom, taking kids to the stadium and running around getting supplies for them, I am also doing my thing with this book.  It is proving to be something that will become somewhat of a cult following soon.  I have another speaking engagement in Mississippi this weekend at the Grand Casino for the 5th Annual BBW Casino Weekend at 2pm .  These ladies and their admirers know how to do it up grand style which host a weekend of networking, fashion shows, discussions and a little dancing too.  I look forward to speaking to the ladies about the "5s". 

Things are just forming as I type this.  I have been asked to speak for Black History Month at the University of Memphis which is hosted every year by the Black Student Association.  I will be having an intimate conversation with the ladies about "Loving Yourself As You Are" among other things.  This will be a big deal for me as some of you know because I also work at the University of Memphis.  I will post the date and time later.  Now I would be remissed if I didn't mention that also I have been asked to possibly be an advisor for a new orgnization on the campus for ladies of size called "Empowering Women of Curves" -EWOC for short.  The organization is still going through its formation stages, but in talks with the powers that be it is probably a go.  This group from the looks of it early on will be a formidable force as it seeks to not only empower young women of size, but destroy myths associated with being plus-size.  I looking forward to working with these bright young minds as the year progresses.

Well that is all for now.  Stay tuned and be Blessed.
