Mahalia Jackson is a music legend who stayed in her lane
When you hear the name Mahalia Jackson, there is one train of thought regarding her career. She was a powerful singer of gospel music, a legend in her own time who received many accolades. She also left an important legacy that some artists today should consider. During her heyday there used to be a line of thinking that singers should stay in their lane and not try anything different. The old adage of "If it ain't broke don't fix it" seemed to be the order of the day. In our modern society within the music realm, there seems to be an anything-goes attitude, and for some, but not all, it works.

'That Thing You Do' 25 years later
That Thing You Do appeared in theaters in October 1996 and this year is number 25 since the film's was released. It’s hard to believe that a quarter century has gone by for this gem of a movie. I am going to celebrate the entire year because the film as well as the title song, are among my all time favorites. I was not even aware of this movie when it first debuted and I only learned about That Thing You Do! years later from my daughter who told me what a fun movie it was. I rented it on DVD several times and also watched it at least 8 or 10 times on cable. I can’t help but dance every time the theme song is played.

The negative energy of racism is real
Whether you call it an aura, spirit, energy, or evil presence there is something that manifests around racist people and the areas where they gather. I am a black woman telling this story from my perspective but I am sure there are others who have had similar experiences. A few years back my two sons were traveling home and took a wrong turn around dusk. They ended up on a dirt road where all they could see were cornfields and nowhere to turn around. Both said they felt as if they were in a horror movie and needed to get out fast. As they continued to drive they also saw that Confederate flags were on the porches of most houses.
