Simply Beautiful

I can hear the Al Green song ringing in my ears...Simply beautiful.
That is what my weekend was.
The Zulu anniversary in Seattle Saturday at Vera project was dope. It had one of the best line ups I have seen in a long time. Valentines day was full of love: Love for Hip hop and 206 zulu, I recieved flowers from a fan and my fuzzy friends took me out for breakfast in the morning...Yaay!
Sunday I experienced the most amazing cypher at festival sundiata. I had a performance at Brother to brother at the seattle center house with Miz Floes and a bunch of male poets and musicians who spoke on the panel discussion. We did a cyper at the end with african drumming and Blacque Butterfly joined us...I could feel the energy surging through the circle and the good vibes coming from the audience....Simply Beautiful.
Afterwards we went to the Zulu Breakdancing competition at Emp. Wow! thank the universe for V.I.P status because the line was literally wrapped around the building.
My feet were hurting because I was trying to be cute at the sundiata gig wearing heels and I was standing in the front row at emp as the show was running on hip hop time. LOL!
Geez!
Anyways,
The show was awesome...I had to leave early but what I did see of the show made me proud!!!
Then Monday before Blacque Butterfly and I took a ride down I-5 back to the city of roses we ate breakfast with Gabriel Teodros and Lulu at silver fork. Miz foes said It was worth the wait as I spoke to her on the phone for 30 minutes before our food arrived, she was right!
My pancakes were fluffy, eggs like grandpa used to make and my hot chocolate was rich and creamy. We listened to Stevie wonder playing in the background and tender roni by bobby brown came on...LOL! we danced in our seats and enjoyed the blessing of great company.

Oh and I totally forgot that somewhere in the middle of all this Aaron walker loud cooked some amazing food, was an incredible host and built us a fire...Yaay!!!!

My weekend was simply Beautiful.

A woman's work is never done...

I am wearing too many hats as my dad used to say.
But I am packed for my trip, I booked a couple more shows, I hired another team member to assist with the portland shows, I updated all my pages with the new flyers and I am blogging now so...Yaay!
All I have left to do is finish getting getting dressed to go to the studio, make about ten more phone calls, brush my teeth, and eat some food.

I usually make a check list of things to do but I have been freestyling the past few weeks...lol
Everything is coming along smooth...I need a planner to write it all down too. I am not always going to have my lap top in front of me.

I think I just overwhelmed our newest team member she just text me..LOL! The issue is seattle has an entire team working and portland has two people, now three. And Seattle had more time to plan. I gotta get Portland up to speed.

okay I gotta go.

Love and peace,
T

Leaving on a jet plane

Everybody sing it with me now!: I'm leavin' on a jet plane...don't know when I'll be back again...
Wow this is an incredible journey. I am preparing for my trip back to the northwest. The great evergreen state and the emerald city...If I could click my heels three times and be home that would be dope but instead I get a a healthy dose of jet lag. whomp whomp!

Oh joy!

I am a wee bit sarcastic today...LOL.

actually I am happy because I got the proofs of the flyers and the album credits this week. They look so cool and it is like a dream come true to be finishing up this project, getting a chance to spend my mothers birthday with her and my family and also to hug all my fuzzy friends. YAAAY!!!!

I was at the studio in manhattan from 1:30 pm til 4:30am yersterday so I am drained. I return tomorrow. I am not complaining really...I love being in the studio. I was missing it so much these past few months. It is a shame I had hardly been in what felt like years. I was like a kid in the candy store. I didn't really wanna leave but the leather sofa chair told different truth, I was wipped out. I was half asleep with a bagel in my hand listening to a song we just wrote but I couldn't tell you a thing about it...I was dazed and confused. I had to jump up and do a few kicks and stretches to get my blood flowing. which brings me to my last song. come on ya'll sing it with me:
Everybody was kung fu fighting!...

Bummed about blogging

Blogging hurts!...Dang it Amos why did you think this was cool?LOL.
Can someone please tell me what freaking excitement about blogging...seriously. I feel like a public specitical of my not so personal journal enteries are on display. I don't feel vaunerable as much as I feel annoyed that amos said this would be fun and that my fans would love it.
Really? like in real life?...If they love it I will keep going but maybe you all can give me some topics.
Maybe I just need to take a nap because I am anti-blog right now.
My inner blogger is going through a crisis.lol
I don't have the bloggiest idea how to change that.
oh what the F...I mean what the Blog is going on?
Any suggestions?

in desperate need of support from my fellow bloggers.
Love,
T Hill xo xo

OMG the flyers look amazing!
I am super excited that things are coming along. I have the best team of people that a girl could want.
I am seriously rejoicing. It has been a three year process to arrive near the end of wrapping this project up. I am so close to bringing closure and a happy ending to the story...wooo saaah! I am taking a huge sigh of relief.
God is good, the universe is working in my favor and prayers are answered.

Yaaaay!!!

close call...

Ok so we got the ticket fiasco handeled...thank the universe!!!
I didn't have to cancel all my west coast gigs or miss my mother's birthday.
That was a close call my friends.

I was about to lose my mind.

Trains, Planes and Automobiles...

I am a lil upset right now...I was supposed to recieve a confirmation for my plane ticket back to the west to do shows but errr,...a lil problem has occurred and uuum they want to put me on the train or perhaps even a greyhound from here. Yikes!
I am not trying to be all Diva about it but I am dissappointed. It takes several days to travel cross country.
ooooh boy...what am I going to do?
