THANKS FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME. AFTER THAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND I REALLY NEEDED TO REST UP B4 EVEN THINKING ABOUT DOING AN ENTRY. IT ALL STARTED LAST THURSDAY AT THE BOYSROOM AND ENDED ON MONDAY 5/28/07. EACH EVENT WAS UNIQUE AND MEMORABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR I WORKED FOR SIZZLE MIAMI AND I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS LOTS OF FUN. DESPITE SOME COMMUNICATION ERRORS(NOT MINE) I STILL MANAGED TO LEAVE WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE AND SOME SINGLES IN MY PURSE. NOW THAT I HAVE DONE ALL 3 PARTY PLACES IN THE PAST (DC, PR AND MIA)I DONT KNOW WHO I WILL WORK FOR NEXT YEAR.I HEADED HOME ON SUNDAY AFTER A SUPERSHUTTLE DRAMA THAT CONCLUDED WITH ME HAVING TO JUMP IN A CAB INSTEAD. ESCUELITA WAS PACKED AND THE ENERGY WAS ALIVE AND WELL. THE BOYS DID THEIR THING AND SO DID I DESPITE MY LACK OF 8 HOURS SLEEP. MONDAY CAME AND IT WAS OFF TO THE DUPLEX FOR THE SISTERZ IN THE NAME OF LOVE SHOW. I ADORE DOING THE DUPLEX BUT MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE PEEPS WHO MAKE RESERVATIONS AND DONT SHOW UP. WE HAD A GREAT SHOW BUT A LOW TURNOUT(35) DESPITE HAVING 90 RESERVATIONS FOR A 70 SEAT ROOM. IT WILL TRULY BE A MINUTE B4 I PUT ON ANOTHER ONE BUT ITS ALL GOOD. I HOPE YOUR WEEKEND WENT WELL AND I WILL KEEP U POSTED ON ALL THE NEW AND EXCITING THINGS I HAVE PLANNED FOR JUNE AND BEYOND. TALK SOON.

I delight in giving and receiving the joy of Spirit.
My joy is not dependent on the events, material things, or even the people around me. True gladness flows from the spirit of God within me.

A joyful spirit is strengthening, for it encourages me to find good in any situation. Joy keeps me focused and positive, even when those around me are not. There is a joy in watching the flight of a butterfly or hearing a baby's laughter.

There is an overflowing joy of spirit in spending time in prayer.
Joy is not something I keep to myself. The more I share it, the more I receive in return. As I let the light of joy shine in my eyes and through my voice and actions, I find that the people I meet respond in positive, cheerful ways. I delight in giving and receiving the joy of Spirit.

THURSDAY NITE I DID MY BI-MONTHLY BOOKING AT THE BOYSROOM IN THE EAST VILLAGE. ALL WENT WELL WITH THE SHOW AND AFTERWARDS I RETURNED HOME. FRIDAY MORNING I HAD SOME ERRANDS TO RUN AND HAD TO MAKE UP A FEW HOURS AT SCHOOL TO CATCH UP ON SOME WORK.I NOTICED MY ANKLE WAS FEELING STRANGE BUT KEPT ON ABOUT MY DAILY ROUTINE. AFTER SCHOOL I CAME HOME AND BEGAN THE RELENTLESS TASK OF CLEANING MY APT. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF INTENSE ACTIVITY I DECIDED TO REST FOR MY 2AM SHOW AT ESCUELITA. I GOT INTO THE CITY AT MIDNITE AND STARTED TO PREPARE AT 1AM. BY THE TIME I FINISHED MY FACE AND STARTED TO GET DRESSED MY POOR ANKLE ALMOST HAD ME IN TEARS. THE PAIN WAS UNBEARABLE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY SINCE NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAD TAKEN PLACE THE NITE BEFORE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I HOSTED THE SHOW FROM BACKSTAGE AND WAS RUSHED HOME TO REST MY FOOT. SATURDAY NITE I WAS BOOKED FOR A SHOW AS WELL SO I TOOK IT EASY ALL DAY WITH MOTRIN AND A MUCH NEEDED FOOT SOAK. I DRESSED DOWN FOR SAT'S SHOW AND WORE SNEAKERS. THE SHOW WENT WELL AND THE CROWD WAS NONE THE WISER.UPON RETURNING HOME I DECIDED TO GO TO THE ER SINCE I HAD A BUSY WEEK COMING UP. SEVERAL HOURS LATER AFTER X-RAYS AND A CAREFUL EXAMINATION THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD TELL ME OR DO ABOUT MY ANKLE BESIDES THE STUFF I HAD ALREADY DONE. I CAME HOME AND WAS EVER SO GRATEFUL THAT THIS SUNDAY THERE WAS TO BE A SPECIAL EVENT AT ESCUELITA AND I HAD BEEN GIVEN THE DAY OFF(WITH PAY). DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY I REMEMBERED IT WAS ALSO THE DAY FOR THE AIDS WALK IN NYC. LAST WEEKEND AT ESCUELITA THE AUDIENCE RAISED FUNDS TO HELP SUPPORT. SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE WALKERS YESTERDAY. I HAVE DONE THE WALK IN THE PAST AND ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY. FATE WOULD HAVE IT THAT I JUST SPONSORED SOMEONE INSTEAD OF REGISTERING TO DO IT MYSELF SINCE I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO WITH THIS ANKLE. LATER ON IN THE DAY I GLANCED OUT THE BACKYARD WINDOW AND SAW MY BELOVED CAT PEACHES WHO DISAPPEARED ABOUT 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO.IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE HER ALIVE AND WELL. I RACED DOWNSTAIRS (DISABLED AND ALL) AND SET SOME FOOD UP . HE WAS QUITE RELUCTANT TO COME TOO CLOSE AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD(I THINK).I WANTED TO TAKE HIM IN THE HOUSE BUT WAS WARNED THAT HE MUST GO TO A HOSPITAL FIRST SINCE HE HAD BEEN ON HIS OWN FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I NEED TO GAIN HIS TRUST AND THEN GET HIM INTO THE CARRIER SO THAT IT CAN BE DONE WITHOUT ANY DRAMA OR SCRATCHES INVOLVED.EVEN IF I NEVER CONVINCE HIM TO COME BACK HOME I WILL CONTINUE TO FEED HIM (AND HIS NEW BUDDIES)IN THE BACKYARD. I HOPE ONE DAY TO HAVE HIM BACK HOME SINCE I AM SO ATTACHED BUT AS THEY SAY PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS AND SEASONS. I THANK ALL OF YOU WHO WROTE TO ME ABOUT CONCERN FOR MY MISSING CAT. YOUR PRAYERS AND ADVICE SURELY PAID OFF. I WILL SIGN OFF NOW AND PREPARE FOR A VERY HECTIC BUT HIGHLY ANTICIPATED WEEK. UNTIL NEXT TIME , TAKE CARE AND BE WELL.

ONE WEEK HAS PASSED SINCE I HAVE LAST SEEN MY PRECIOUS CAT PEACHES. I THANK U ALL FOR YOUR KIND THOUGHTS AND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. I AM STILL HOLDING ON TO THE FACT THAT HE IS IN THE VICINITY AND WILL RE-APPEAR SOMETIME SOON. IN OTHER NEWS, THINGS ARE GOING WELL WITH SCHOOL AND WORK. THE MONTH OF MAY HAS BEEN FULL OF BLESSINGS. I AM PREPARING FOR THE REAL QUEENS OF COMEDY SHOW IN MIAMI AND THE DUPLEX IN NYC MEMORIAL WEEKEND. IF U ARE GONNA TO ATTEND ANY ONE OF THOSE EVENTS, LOOK FOR FRESH,NEW AND INVIGORATING MATERIAL MIXED WITH CLASSIC SUNBEAM WIT. TOMORROW IS MOTHERS DAY AND I WANT TO SEND A SPECIAL HELLO TO ALL OF U .I LOST MY MOM IN 1986 WHEN I WAS 17 YEARS OLD. I REALLY MISS AND THINK OF HER ON A DAILY BASIS. FOR THOSE OF U WHO ARE STILL LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR PARENTS PLEASE CHERISH THEM WITH ALL YOUR HEART FOR ONCE THEIR GONE U WILL KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. UNTIL NEXT TIME, BE WELL AND TAKE CARE.

Through the grace of God, I am serene and at peace.
Today I have responsibilities to fulfill and tasks to complete, both large and small. However, through all, God's grace is continually blessing me. Because I know this is true, I am able to lay aside any anxiety and move forward with God as my source of guidance and serenity.
No matter how many times I try to go it alone or fall short of the results I desire, there is the sacred assurance of God's grace. I am received with love and uplifted with strength every time I return my awareness to the presence of God.
Centered in this awareness, I enjoy whatever is before me to do and find fulfillment in carrying through with it. Through the grace of God, I am serene and at peace.
"Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."- Hebrews 4:16

ON FRIDAY NITE AROUND 10PM I WAS CHATTING ON THE PHONE WITH SUGGA PIE KOKO AND VICTORIA LACE. IT WAS YOUR BASIC DRAG CONVERSATION:NEW SONGS, NEW OUTFITS,NEW BOOKINGS AND SUCH. PEACHES(MY BELOVED CAT) WAS SITTING IN THE WINDOW SILL PERCHED AS ALWAYS. NO MORE THAN TEN MINUTES LATER I HEARD A NOISE AND LOOKED AROUND TO FIND THE WINDOW SCREEN BUSTED OPEN AND NO SIGN OF PEACHES. OF COURSE I PANICKED AND SCREAMED HYSTERICALLY. I LIVE ON THE SECOND FLOOR BUT IT IS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM THE GROUND. I AM ASSUMING PEACHES WENT ON THE LEDGE AND DIDNT REALIZE HOW NARROW IT WAS IN ALL THE DARKNESS AND FELL DOWN TO THE BACKYARD. IT WAS VERY DARK WHEN THE SUPER AND I WENT DOWN TO SEE IF WE COULD FIND HER. NO LUCK WHATSOEVER. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO WAIT UNTIL MORNING AND TO DROP A PIECE OF MY CLOTHING IN THE AREA SO THAT HE COULD SMELL ME AND I KNOW I WAS IN THE AREA. IT IS NOW SUNDAY MORN AND NO SIGN OF MY PRECIOUS CAT. I NEVER KNEW HOW ATTACHED I WAS TO HIM UNTIL NOW. IM HAVING A HARD TIME SLEEPING AND FOCUSING SINCE THE DISAPPEARANCE. I KNOW THERE IS A CHANCE HE MAY COME BACK BUT I JUST WANT HIM TO BE HERE NOW.I GUESS THE BEST PART ABOUT IT ALL IS THAT HE WAS NOT LAID OUT WHEN I GOT THERE WHICH MEANS HE LANDED SOMEWHAT SAFELY. PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO PRAY FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF PEACHES, IT WOULD MEAN ALOT TO ME. I WILL KEEP U POSTED ON ANY NEW INFORMATION. THANKS.

There are two days in every week, about which we should not worry,
two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.

Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;

Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.

Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities

Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday
and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore,
Live but one day at a time.

I JUST WRAPPED UP A VERY BUSY WEEK AND IM CURRENTLY JUST TAKING IT EASY AND PREPARING FOR SOME MAJOR UPCOMING GIGS. THIS MEMORIAL WEEKEND I WILL BE A PART OF THE REAL QUEENS OF COMEDY SHOW AT SIZZLE MIAMI. THE SHOW FEATURES SOMMORE, MISS RUFF-N-STUFF FROM CHICAGO, COMEDIAN P.T. FROM DALLAS AND MYSELF.
