March 19th 2022 A Few Photos From Pre COVID Moments: Just To Remember

March 19th, 2022

It's a really difficult time for most of us as a possible new COVID surge begins to loom larger and larger on the global horizon.

                                                    Delores Fisher Pre COVID

Despite wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and social upheaval . . .COVID keeps creeping back like a bad case of foot fungus. The newest variant is now spreading fast.

As I was downloading a few old photos, I began to wonder if many of us are doing the same, with sadness, joy, pain, relief, confusion, hope, and just plain exhaustion as we realize how much has changed and yet how much in terms of what we do with and to each other hasn't really been altered.

Is this a recursive loop of inwardly spiraling angst while we admit . . .we do not really control much on this world, just how we react to its groanings.  Once again we hurry up to run towards a sense of semi-emergence to "normalcy" after the Omicron trauma -wave of illness knocked us off our reality surfboards with bruises, cuts, and aches,  I just thought I'd post a few Pre-COVID photos, from my San Diego Blogger's photo file just to remember when . . .

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! Professor Starla Lewis at the 2024 San Diego S...

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...
