I started the day by attending the funeral of my friend Tommie Bradford's mother. I don't think I ever met her, but I consider both of her sons, Tommie and Dontay, to be friends, and I wanted to be present as they honored their mother. It was a beautiful service, and tears came to my eyes more than once. The church was filled with family, friends, and people like me who only knew of her through her family, and it was much more of a celebration of an obviously beautiful life than it was a sorrowful goodbye.
After teaching a few students, I treated myself to a massage at my cousin's spa, Skin by Maisha. Maisha has been my aesthetician for many years (note my lovely, youthful, glowing skin!) and now offers massage therapy. I've been treated by both therapists in her spa, Katy and Thomas, and every time it's been a fantastic experience. Thanks to my habit of overbooking myself, I really, really, really needed my shoulders worked on (my typical area of stress accumulation). One day, I'm going to get massages on a weekly basis...ah...
This evening, I performed again at Marcello's and had the pleasure of several friends coming out to hear me and have dinner. Thanks to Sandi, Steve, Tony, Mary, Chris and the many regular patrons (whose names escape me as I write this at 1am) for coming out and for being so supportive! And thanks to Sandi and Chris for sharing their gorgeous voices! : >
