A STAND OUT MOMENT


I could not believe I was in a room filled with Legends. Lil 'ol me hugging Mr. Larry King, Mr. Dr. Phil, Ms. Denise Rich, Mrs. Angela Basset with her husband Mr. Courtney B. Vance and James Ingram and his beautiful wife Mrs. Denise Ingram.We were all there to celebrate Ms. Natalie Cole's 60th Birthday! This beautiful Woman asked two people to sing Happy Birthday. "Will you sing Happy Birthday to me?" Hmmm..are you kidding me?She's looking at me.( I thought to myself.lol!) The Legendary Smokey Robinson and lil 'ol Me.( I almost passed out and my knees would not stop shaking). Mr.Smokey sang first and I sang to her while standing right next to him. Amazing!!!

After blowing out the candles on her Tiffany multi-box layered shaped birthday cake, she adorned us with two songs. I was holding back my tears as she sang and looked absolutely gorgeous. Ms. Cole sang so sweet with her jazz trio.Simply amazing.My night ended with food and laughter with more new friends. This made my evening after the Grammy Awards my favorite stand out moment!

Ledisi at The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards

This time was a little different than 2007. I finally made myself enjoy as many moments that I could. Like any artist in the music business, I wanted to win. I did not win but I came out stronger and better than I was before. The 52 Annual Grammy Awards 2010 taught me so much about your profile as an artist. Now I am ready to work harder. Not just for that award but for the presence my talent deserves. My gift is God's Gift not mine and it deserves to be heard everywhere. Our gifts are bigger than us and once you know what your calling is you have to make it known and heard around the world.

Here are some of my favorite quotes by The Legend Ms. Bette Davis

"My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose."

"Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition."

"I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box." - Bette Davis


There is so much work that has been done yet so much more work to do. My dreaming is big!I want another moment like this and I want it to be bigger than this moment. I want to leave with even more next time. Something for my Mantel would be nice.LOL!
