Do you have a favorite food that gives you fond memories? I do. When I was in college, my friends and I hung out at our favorite burger place. We talked about homework, upcoming projects, our professors, our dreams for the future and relationships. We loved socializing, laughing and having fun. Big cheese burgers with all of the fixings, french fries and milkshakes were favorite foods that brought us together every weekend. There is nothing like fellowshipping and dining with loved ones and dear friends. When the food is good and the company is amazing, it creates unforgettable euphoria. Food is a connector. It connects people across all walks of life. What is your favorite food and what are your fond memories? Live life great. Stay connected. Eat good food. Embrace great friends. Create beautiful memories. Bon appétit!

Giddyup!
The word “giddyup” is defined as a word that is used to command a horse to “go ahead or go at a faster pace.” In this sense, the horse represents your life. Sometimes the pace for success in your life is very slow. Things that can slow your life down are things like procrastination, lack of drive, lack of discipline, the wrong environment, bad habits and other challenges. Make better decisions and fix what is wrong in your life. Be disciplined, be kind, help others, organize your life, read everyday, pray everyday, get rid of bad habits, think positive and do whatever it will take to experience a better quality of life. Once you get yourself together, you can then expect your life to speed up faster towards great success. You can then command your life to “giddyup!”

Travel Musician
Sometimes it is fun to look back on my life and think about what I was doing at the time. As a musician, a Hammond organist for a professional recording choir and band, there were so many fun moments. Musician rehearsals were always hours long, and then there were the rehearsals with the vocalists. We worked hard but we still had fun. In this photo I am ready to enjoy life the way that musicians do it. We like to have jam sessions, compare music notes, find the best local restaurants and enjoy great cuisine, and laugh at everything. Find your moments and celebrate them. Today, I celebrate having been a travel musician for many years, I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve traveled across the country, performed on national television, help to write songs on professional albums and found that New York has really delicious food. Thanks for hanging out with me at the Notes Club Room.

Kindness Always Wins
Repost: #throwback2019
Today, as I was standing in line at Publix to order a Sub, a beautiful elderly woman was in front of me trying to place her order. Because she was in a “Sitting Shopping Cart,” she was not able to see the Deli Technician. As both ladies were trying to see each and practically shouting over the large salad and meat service case with no communication success, I decided to offer my help. I leaned over and asked the lady what kind of sandwich she wanted and what she wanted on it. I relayed the message to the Deli Technician who was practically hidden behind the deli service case. Meanwhile, there was a long line behind us and some of the people waiting in line became slightly irritable. As the technician continued to prepare the elderly woman’s sandwich, I asked the elderly lady her name. She said her name was Mary. She wanted me to place her order as an Ultimate whole Sub on Multi-Grain Bread, all veggies, garlic pickles and all peppers, including Jalapenos with Mayonnaise and spicy mustard.
I noticed that Mary was sketching a photo on an index card. The sketch looked just like me. I said, “Mary, is that a drawing of me?” She said, “Yes, it is. I appreciate you for helping me to place my order today. I want to leave this with you.”
I thanked her and gave her my business card. I told her that I have a blog and would like permission to post a blog about this. She became so excited and exclaimed, “I’m gonna be famous!” I looked at her and said, “Well, over 50 countries log on everyday. If that is what being famous is, then your debut is tomorrow!”
I told her that it will be posted by morning and that all she had to do was to type in the website off of my business card. I had never seen such a more beautiful smile. She lit up like a Christmas tree. By this time, the Deli technician had completed preparing the sub and she handed it to me to give to Mary. I turned around and looked at the people in the line. They all were smiling and a few placed their hands over their hearts as if to say that this was such a heartwarming moment. Mary thanked me over and over and rode off with excitement.
There is nothing like being nice to people and helping them. I made a new friend today. Take the opportunity to help someone if possible. Kindness is always a win-win situation. It feels great to help others and it is such a blessing to give. Today was a great day! Until the next post, keep being nice and kind to others. Kindness always wins.

This is my favorite design right now. This design is unisex and created with the finest Italian leathers, with croc print and patent leather! If you are into intricate design, you will understand how unique it is to wear a texture that has a print design. This plaid print is giving luxury, red-carpet and royal vibes! Like no other shoe design in the world, the side zippers and silver sole makes this shoe stand out! People will step a step aside as you walk by, and you will be unforgettable!
