God gave me Feet
"It's a time when the world makes a silent agreement with change, with growth. Fall is when the entire world silently whispers "I have your back," gently pushing you towards your highest self, urging you to re-emerge with the leaves in spring. Like the sweet potato slips need daily watering during their first week in the ground, I can feel the universe infusing my soul with its knowledge, whispering to me that it's almost time. Harvest is soon when I can open and be soft yet again."

Jazz is for Ordinary People
"That was the moment when I realized jazz wasn't for the bourgeoisie. Jazz was for people like us; it was for the young girls in orange dresses; it was for the fathers and mothers of little girls in orange dresses, and the siblings, and the family friends, and for the people sitting five tables down from little girls in orange dresses, and for the owners of restaurants in which little girls in orange dresses sat. Jazz was for ordinary people. Jazz is ordinary people."
