Footprints of Death...............

"I'm Every Woman" is one of my favorite Chaka Khan songs.  I like it because it makes me feel empowered.  Unfortunately, one of the authors' of that song passed away.  Nickolas Ashford, of the Ashford & Simpson husband-wife( singer, songwriter, production) duo, born May 4, 1941 passed away on August 22, 2011.  The music community and fans like myself are saddened.  It really does hurt when a great human being passes on. R.I.P. Mr. Ashford my prayers are with your family.  I hope that God will comfort the hearts of your family.

I hope we all remember to laugh, live, and love always and on purpose.

Footprints of Death...............

A relative of my friend's passed away.  He passed on 8/7/11. He was such a nice man.  He always had a smile for everyone.  He will be missed.

No matter how many times it happens, death always leaves me feeling totally unprepared, maybe because it always makes me question my own mortality. Of course, we all know that we will die one day, but when death happens it kind of brings clarity on how one should spend their time living.  For me, I pray everyday that I am spending my time wisely. 

Rembering to laugh, live, and love always an on purpose.
