My Ellington Family

I had a blast over the Memorial Weekend seeing all my Ellington Family. It was a big boost for the Alumni Association to have such a big out come. I look forward to all the other successful events.

"Get on Board..."

Nearly 100 alumni, representing multiple classes and departments, reunited at Lucky Strike Bowling Alley and Lounge in Gallery Place D.C.

The atmosphere was festive as alums reconnected with old friends while making new ones. This is a testament to the Ellington spirit that continues to live within us all: from '78 to '08.

"Take the A Train."

Random Scribes from the Gut

I have incredible faith that God is going to work everything out. I just know he is going to answer my prayers. Lord knows I do my best and I know I have more in my to give. He has kept Jackson and I this long and I am truly in awe of his work. I am asking him to order my steps and remove the stresses that are attempting to plague my life.

I have to stretch my arms out,close my eyes and just fall back and trust he will catch me. The longer I allow my Ex or anyone to try and stress me, the further away my sandy beach feels. I say sandy beach because that's the place I imagine...warm, waves crashing, peace.

Don't get me wrong there is no major drama besides the kind folks seem to want to drag me into. I dodged that bullet this week and nobody got mad at me, not that I would care if they did. You can't change people but you can change yourself. I figure once you do that the situation changes and you are in control. I try to follow this advice for myself and for the most part it works with a couple of slips here and there. Praying for some breakthroughs, see you on the other side.

Potty Adventures

Jackson got a potty today and he used it!!! About an hour ago he boo-booed. I just got him out of the tub and he tried to pee-pee standing up. A little squirt came out and I was trying to aim it but nothing came out. I sat him down on it for awhile but he had nothing to give. So the adventure begins and I am so excited, wish me luck.

Music in my mind

Got some melodies floating around in me, feeling the creativity all about.

I only create when I am inspired, anything other that that for ME...makes me a factory. Got some real powerful stuff I want to let out, working on trying to write again. Not a lot of time for myself to do ME,but God will create a way, I know he will.

I miss the studio, I miss auditioning, I miss singing, I miss being a working performer. Ok signing off now...I got to change this situation now.

So Me, Eventually

Antique or Vintage

You are a romantic. Valentine's Day is probably your favorite holiday. You have a sweet tooth and love comfort items like your favorite pillow and coffee mug. You probably watch old movies and aren't a bit ashamed to cry in front of others. You laugh loud and love well.

Uuuuugggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!! #$*&#@!

Update 1:03 am Went to the gym and worked some of the stress off.


I have never met any human being in my life that can get under my skin like him (No this is NOT LOVE). I can't even find a word and I am still reeling from our fight last night. This is really about to end, my neck is tight and I am stressed. I am trying to get my footing in all this. I have to shake it off. I have to continue to fight to get my life back in order, I have do it for my son and myself. Once upon a time I thought the world of this guy, I admit I overlooked some major things and I allowed him to play on my vunerabiliites. My son is here now and I really need to pray to keep him on track, keep myself on track.


Oh God Help Me!!!! I have a headache.
