Hello ,
It's finally Spring and our hard work through the first quarter and the showers through April have
brought us into May where our flowers begin to grow.
I watched the royal wedding for very deeply personal reasons I'll share later, and I was wonderfully surprised! (as were
those in attendance) So I'm celebrating LOVE this week! Love between two people who shared and proclaimed their love for each other in front of the world in royal fashion!Yes, I'm speaking about the wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and if you haven't seen it, give yourself a gift of love and watch it! At least watch as the Reverend Michael Curry, the first black presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church who spoke passionately about the power of love, quoting Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
"We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love, and when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world. Love is the only way. There's power in love, don't underestimate it," he
said. "When love is the way, poverty will become history. When love is the
way, the Earth will be a sanctuary." "God IS love. Love God, love your neighbors and
while you're at it, love yourself." he proclaimed.
Speaking of love, on April 25th, a pivotal person who changed the trajectory of my life made his transition. His name is Mr. Thullen, and he was my high school choir teacher who showed me and taught me how to sing. I'd been told by a teacher before him that I couldn't sing and he helped me prove her wrong! He brought me the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria to learn and I took to it like a
duck to water. At his prodding, this was the song I sang for my audition for college to be a voice major and got in. If it weren't for him I'd probably be a computer programmer which was where I was headed, instead of a professional singer, songwriter, recording artist and producer who has sung on Broadway, Carnegie Hall and toured around the world. I've had a very different life thanks to him.
This picture I received at his memorial service where I sang. I'll always remember all of the Rejoices and Hallelujahs from the Messiah which I ironically just sang on Easter Sunday, Octoberfests, Madrigals that instilled in me a love for harmony... and Fruitcake! (Where I sang crazy high notes). My most notable moment
was when he cast me as the leading role of Marian the Librarian opposite a white Harold Hill where we had to kiss onstage for 8 measures! The audience cheered and applauded like crazy and we had no idea how special and unusual that was because Mr. Thullen had created such a beautiful, loving and accepting environment where he chose and cast the best person for a role... period... regardless of the color of your skin. It was during the intermission of a musical performance of Hunchback I attended
over the weekend that I found out he was moved to hospice, and was teaching a singing workshop the next day called, Yes You CAN Sing where I share so much of what he taught me as I have at high schools and colleges across the country for the past 25 years. His work and love of music lives on in me and I will forever be grateful for all he's done for me! Thank you Mr. Thullen for being such a great human being! RIP... and Godspeed.
My Ave Maria for you... https://youtu.be/Z46bFlNjL0U

Well, I've finally found the answer and this woman and her work has seriously transformed my life in ways I couldn't imagine.
