I just wanted to share a few photo’s from the Soul Train Cruise. I’ll be creating a gallery at my Facebook Page as well. Make sure to visit http://www.soultraincruise.com to learn more about the next cruise coming up in October 2013 and beyond.
The morning of cruise at hotel in FT. Lauderdale, Florida before going to board ship. Wearing a pair of my favorite sunglasses “Chelsea” from Oliver Peoples.
Jody Watley ready to board Holland America’s Westerdam ship. Lightweight wool turtleneck with dolman sleeves from Zara and vintage Commes des Garcons belt.
As the sail away party was just getting started I snapped a photo with this couple Genevieve and her husband DJ Skelly – after they took one with me.
Jody Watley in San Juan, Puerto Rico – one of the port stops on the cruise. Read my style post about this top!
After my beauty seminar which was packed with some wonderful women. I spoke on beauty from the inside out – we had a great time. One lady even left her beauty treatment in progess (in plastic cap and white robe) to attend – that’s love!
Van and I found a really cool restaurant in San Juan and were drawn in by the house music and ambience. These ladies from the cruise also came in.
George Duke, Jeffrey Osbourne, Jody Watley and Tony Cornelius before Don Cornelius Tribute which I was the host.
I snapped this photo while on the elevator on T-Shirt Day of someone who had done a fun shirt – there were so many of them.
Pictured with former Soul Train dancers Cheryl Song (known as the Asian girl by many) and Derek Fleming who taught some classes on ship. I hosted their Q&A panel.
Make no mistake – Don Cornelius created a GLOBAL presence – this family came from Great Britain. There were people from around the world on the ship – enjoying the music, dancing and the spirit of Soul Train.
Last day of cruise on Half Moon Cay. Pictured at the staff bar-b-que with bartender chef Bryce husband of one of Centric’s execs Kim, and Van Roy my friend and owner of Bailey’s in Marksville, Louisiana and part time staff at Avid.

It’s true that life is a succession of moments and experiences running the gamut from big to small. Remember that if you settle for less – you will always get less than what you would have settled for.
Plan, prepare, dream, strive and think big and don’t get stuck in a rut of small and narrow thinking. Some people as they get older it seems their idea’s may become smaller; I hope to avoid that. Expand and keep an open mind and a healthy outlook on life, people, experiences and everything in between.
Just back from the inaugural Soul Train Cruise 2013. I’ll be posting and sharing thoughts and photo’s. Being at sea and and looking out at the majestic natural beauty of the ocean made me think of this song from my third album “Affairs of The Heart.” When I recorded it, my thought was to celebrate my father and to show my gratitude and thank you to God and the universe. My experience onboard wasn’t flawless, but I’m glad to have been a part of it and I had a ton of fun. If you can’t change the situation – change your attitude.
It’s not lost on me that what we generate into the world on a daily basis is also a very pivotal part of living.
Blessings and love.
