A Poetic Reflection on The New Year by Sharon L DuBois

#HappyNewYear #NewBeginnings #SharonDubois #2025

How many times has one year flown by, without my humble, wide-eyed

Amazement at the awesome wonders and blessings contained within? Is it

Possible that I have forgotten about the seemingly small, occasionally overlooked, daily miracles??

Peeking a blind eye around a blind corner to the approaching tomorrow, neglecting the precious gift of all

Yesterdays. Reminder to self: Express genuine thankfulness for my family, friends, my job, which provides harvest-yielding seed, & All Praises to My Heavenly Father, whose Grace abounds brand spankin’

New every morning, as evidenced by my health, life, and strength. With each drop of rain, and rising of the sun, I am made aware of the

Ever-present opportunity to do a “new thing”, a “new way”, with a “renewed mind”!! No logical reason to

Whine or complain about difficulties along the journey, “JUST DO IT!!” The sum total of each and every one of my

Yesterdays equals who I am today, and a new year sings of joyful additions to that

Equation. Dear one, my wish for you, is not just a Happy New Year, but

An amazing, awe-inspiring, ambidextrous (yep, blessings filling BOTH hands!) LIFE!!! ALWAYS:

Remember how much I admire, cherish and love you!!!

Watch Mariah Carey’s New and Improved Video for ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’

#MariahCarey #AllIWantforChristmasIsYou #Xmas #Music Mariah Carey debuted a new video for her Christmas classic ( and 19th number one hit ) “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Or should we say, “All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come True Edition)?” Why a new video? To celebrate the number one, in part, but also because Mariah needs to be festive. More production values! Lighting! Everything that the holiday season brings. In a Q&A on YouTube before the video’s premiere, Carey said “There’s a lot of things to be discovered in this clip,” including a cameo from her dog Cha Cha. “We wanted to make a modern classic,” she said. “That’s kind of been the theme of this song.” During the Q&A she hinted at a new album with some new collaborators that you wouldn’t expect from the elusive chanteuse Mimi. “Two different guys, actually,” she said. “The more the merrier, I always say. It’s Christmas!” By Bethy Squires -vulture.com

On its 40th anniversary, a look at how 'The Wiz' forever changed black culture

#TheWiz #DianaRoss #LenaHorne #MichaelJackson #QuincyJones #SidneyLumet #StephanieMills Forty years after its original release, no film has uniquely defined black culture and shaped the framework of a musical genre quite like “The Wiz.” An adaptation of the groundbreaking Broadway musical — itself a retelling of L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's fantasy “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” that became the beloved Judy Garland movie — the Sidney Lumet-directed film had a rapturous soundtrack produced by Quincy Jones, a cast that included Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Lena Horne, Nipsey Russell, Mabel King and Richard Pryor and an aesthetic firmly rooted in black culture. For a generation of black Americans, this was the first time they saw people who spoke, sung and moved the way they did in a Broadway production and, later, a big-screen musical, and it has become a kind of rite of passage for the black community. Everyone remembers their first time experiencing “The Wiz.” I...
