Days before one of the most crucial elections in our lifetime, an ongoing pandemic and so many lives filled with uncertainty- it’s important to remember when life seems overwhelming and stressful that we can control the atmosphere and vibe we create daily in our home lives.
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Halloween Autumn Weekend – it’s going to be a Blue Moon too. We’ve made it through October.
“Candles have always been a mainstay for me – home, on tour in hotel rooms, dressing rooms, green rooms.. you name it. Creating peaceful spaces that also smell good – this is a natural new step for me to expand into the home and wellness marketplace and taking the time spent at home during this pandemic to pivot a bit in my business.”
“..no one is as passionate about my career as I am. It’s me, self-expression, something I’ve wanted since I was 5… Nobody knows better than me if you look a certain way you’re going to be fighting to prove you’re smart..You grit your teeth and get on with it
but it’s always there..
just like I always feel the distinction of being a black person. On several occasions as an example sitting on an airplane in first class and they go -let me see your boarding pass like I’m sitting on the wrong seat..”
“..if I’m good to myself, I’ll be good to everyone else..I want to be remembered for what I have to say as Jody Watley the singer – songwriter – not the former dancer with Shalamar.” – Jody Watley
Whenever I look back on interviews for these throwbacks.. it’s good to know that though I continue to evolve .. my essence remains pure and intact. No BS.

Begin each day in gratitude and with a cup of something that makes you happy. Home is where we create the atmosphere that kicks off and ends our day. Because this is something always important to me, this pandemic has inspired me to focus on these elements of simple comforts. I look forward to bringing you more of these simple things. If you work from home as a lot of us are doing – these things also work for your home office.
