PATTI LABELLE Would tell ya:

Patti 
would just tell ya,
BE YOURSELF
you can't be no one else!
And I would just like to add to that,
go on and
Be YOURSELF
cos' everyone else is already taken!
JULY 1, 2012
Can you believe it is already July?
Well it's a great day to 
BE YOURSELF
TO DANCE
TO REJOICE
AND
TO GIVE THANKS! 
Now this just has to get your attitude of gratitude goin, your butt up and dancing and singing and getting ready for an outright remarkable day.
Get your feet on the ground...
Just like Patti sings it,
"don't let nobody turn you around"
and keep your "feet on the ground"
even as you put one up and just dance, 
and holler,
and try to attempt that 
5 octaves!
BE YOURSELF!
I do so wish, or maybe I should send Patti a letter tellin her it is time she wrote and sang a song
about
"STOMP"
cos' she sure would do it right as I was taken down memory lane of that performance with her energy, her voice, her attitude
and Pam on that sax!
Oh how I remember in D.C. the night that Pam played that sax and Patti met her note for note; then danced to the piano and picked up a stem of "bird of paradise"; danced back to Pam while still singing and just put that flower into the mouth of the sax as Pam played on!
...
 Beautiful Patti Labelle
a diva, a songstress and a spirit that soars. When she looks at you with those eyes, you can see her soul; know her pain, her story and her beauty is internal and her light burns bright through the years of loss, grief, trauma, and growth.
And oh to sit still is impossible as her voice takes you to places in your own nervous system and to your feet as you can't be no one else but who you truly are;
from the Universal Energy of the Creator as you are taken to places where there is no place, space or time; she fills you with blessings and sounds of the angels as only she can.
Oh she smiled for me to take that picture with her eyes, and never broke the note as she sang I know just to me!
Thank YOU Patti.
Each song, each note, each octave has a story, a message, a meaning. Each footprint through 50 years mixed with mud and tears, fears that have been walked through,
fame that has been largely ignored by those in the industry or walked over by others not as deserving,
and she continues to walk on stages and is adored by millions around the world.
BUT
each person has their distinct reasons of why, how, when, where
they found her, the music, the sounds that fill them up.
Each person either loves the music, loves her presence, loves the whole package, the person, the persona, the outrageous history, the meaning or just the diva image.
We all have reasons we love, admire and respect another.
Some will speak, treat the President of the USA the same way we greet the garbage collector
until we have a reason to feel abused or mistreated by them.
Others will follow blindly or will act as though we are someone we are not to gain prestige, favor, likability, or hit a higher rung on the proverbial ladder.
I rather will join with Patti
and encourage all 
to 
Just BE YOURSELF
...
After all, you just can't be anyone else, cos' the real you will always show up!
So, don't let no one turn you around less you are in the mood to twirl or spin... Keep your feet on the ground unless you are ready to soar;
STOMP those feet and feel the earth and the vibration under you!
....
Dance
Play
Pray
Don't Block the Blessings
Pay it Forward
BE YOURSELF
...
