R.O.C.RACE 5K 2012 Returns to San Diego

It's just fun and sun!
May 19th and 20th is RidiculousOstacleChallenge (R.O.C.) frolic time at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, http://www.rocrace.com/ .   And according to the promo flier given to me by a couple of enthusiastic PR folks, two new "insanely epic obstacles will be added this year." All of you potential global ROCSTARS will enjoy personal challenge and a little bit of realtime social group competition. The event is for a worthy cause, benefitting the Challenged Athelete Foundation: http://www.challengedathletes.org/site/c.4nJHJQPqEiKUE/b.6449023/k.BD6D/Home.htm

I got an advance hook up announcement a few weeks ago from one of my prime entertainment sources that sponsors the event, Sleepingiant music.http://giantsarise.com/ . Just a few days later, had an informal meet/greet at a PR both while doing an out and about. We chatted for a few....

Me: Hey, you all are back!

Promo: Yea.

Me: I posted your announcement on my blog last year and the page has been active ever since. Global too. I should probably post it on the home site instead of side pages.

Promo And it'll be even bigger and more fun.

Me: Really?

Promo: Yea . . . we expect over 10,000 people this year from around the world.

Me: Most people know the good work that you do for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, right?

Promo: We hope so. It's a positive, fun way to express community!

Me: Cool! (I look closer at the flier) Check out this entertainment; looks like you got TALENT lined up to roc the stage too.

Promo: Oh yea.

R.O.C. RACE 5k 2012: Let the Games begin ya'll!

Starla Lewis Professor Emeritus: A New Year's Gift January 2024 Post 1

We all think about those negative influences that we would all like to forget; yet we often neglect to acknowledge those positive warriors who quietly and compassionately help us shoulder dark toxic angst, while nurturing us back to the light of healthy joy. This 2024 January post is to celebrate one of the positive life warrior-healers that I cherish. If you have one of these people in your life, did you stop and give God thanks for them? (If you don't have one, prayerfully your life will soon be blessed. If you do and you didn't offer thanks yet---how about doing it now?) In the traditional Black American community, we have a custom known as "Give them their flowers (while they yet live)." Selfless fabulous people have invested quality time and positivity into my life. This first post is a huge thank you/shout out and a huge Kuumba bouquet of red fragrant roses to my community minded sistah-- professor Starla Lewis!

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan. The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of 1st and B street. It was moved to the corner of then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/ now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30. The concert was a musical extravaganza! This post is going viral so I must do a 2024 update: Hello Dr. Buchanon. Thank you for reading my post from 2012. I am honored!!!! For addition...
