its the American Christmas morning - waking to blessings, love & blog dedication.
the 19th was my Isis' 3rd b-day, 22nd was my grandmother's 83rd, 23rd was my DJ Orion's day and today is my brother, Fredo's day! all these loving people have made a great difference in my life.
your birthday is like the most important day of every year, i like to count back to my possible conception day 'cause that seems to be a day of cheer, too if you ask me. go mommy & daddy! lol.
i saw everyone i listed above on their special day, letting them all know how important they are to me. family on any level is important. what a blank existence you'd have without family. in my hip hop life, my family branches reach far beyond bloodlines. as i look out my window to the lake and its stillness, i realize my family is like that. surface still with a "will drown yo ass" current running a few feet below it. most people see me out on solo but have no idea, one call connects me to any and all on every level imaginable - that current is strong and ALIVE!
this morning i awake listening to newly produced beats and amazing mixes by my DJs. yeah, i have more than one. all of them will make an artist start side-eyeing their own DJ. lol. i have their work to enjoy because they love me, i'm family to them. they know i love & care for them. matter of fact, one of my producers had to get surgery on his spine - a tumor removed. i went to visit him at home with his "ironman suit" (back brace) on, peeling a few dollars to help with whatever small craving he may want. we talked shopped as usual but it wasn't usual...things could have taken a drastic turn for him. my family tree would have been reshaped, today would have been a different type of day to wake to that's for sure. blessing God that with all that is, today is the day i woke up with my branches unchanged but roots dug deeper.
geesh, its a little chilly by this window. loving the view but i think i need some socks and a sweater on. lol. think i'm bout to make a cup of java, watch part 2 of Avatar online then stir my hubby up. he sleeps like a hibernating bear, growls and all - fun part is stirring him enough to get him to talk back...slurs of "love you, too" are the best. half sleep tellin full truths from his heart. my big bear.
yes, today is a lovely day to reflect on family...dang, its really chilly at my work desk. buuuuurrrr!
