The Big Move


The Big Move


I know it's been a while since you've heard from me, but I have good reason...this summer, my family and I stepped out on faith and moved to the City of Soul...(No not Motown). I'm talking about Atlanta, GA. It's a hub for music, with such greats as Usher, Ludacris, TI, TLC (RIP Left Eye), Goodie Mobb and OutKast (congrats on 20 years!!!). Artists like Monica,  Janelle Monae, Xscape and India.Arie, touch my spirit...I can go on [and on] for days, weeks and years, but what I love most is that there is so much undiscovered talent, especially in the genre of Soul and I am in my utopia right now...looking, wanting and needing to consume it all!!!

I receive it and embrace it with all that I am; and all that I hope to be!!!

Until next time,

Mara Hunter

Comedian Gerald Kelly Gives the Gift of Laughter and So Much More...

Many know actor, comedian Gerald Kelly for various reasons, but the one that he holds the highest acclaim for is being a stand-up comic with the gift to help people through their life's challenges. The gift that he has isn't just to make people laugh, but to make them cry; cry tears of joy, releasing frustrations of hurt, pain and sometimes defeat. He holds this to be the true purpose for his career as a comedian. If you haven’t heard of this comedic genius in the arena of Comedy, you haven’t heard from one of the greatest that ever did it. The joke about not being the homework parent, but trying to do his son’s homework for him is classic. His son ends up coming home crying about his grade that he received from that assignment, which was not one, but two zeros. When asked by his dad, why did get ‘two’ zeros, the boy explained, “One is for me and one is for you”… and that is just one joke of many that helped build a great career in Stand-Up Comedy.   Ge...
