JEWEL’S ADVISE: “When you're feeling your worst, that's when you get to know yourself the best. Pressure reveals what you really believe. If you believe you are unqualified, unworthy, too late, too old, too fat, too slow, not enough or not ready...you're right. If you believe you are qualified, blessed, ready, determined, loved, significant, talented and able to pass the test of stress ... you're right. Whether you are in the unemployment line, the court room, the hospital room or recovery ... don't give up. Your turnaround and breakthrough will come. Do not drink from the cup of discouragement and depression. Make up your mind not to let panic, self-pity or bitterness steal your faith and determination to get through your circumstances. Continue seeking help from those around you who care and from your God who cares.

How are you today? The other morning I woke up with some pressing issues on my mind and then... I read some of your e-mails. There were many full of love and gratitude. My heart was stirred and tears of joy and sadness flowed. Some are going through some tough times and some of you are sharing your praise. As I read your inspiring stories of strength, endurance and inspiration, I am reminded that I can’t and won’t complain and that I am too blessed to be stressed. It is a choice to rejoice and it's a choice to hold my head up high or hold it down. I believe the enemy does not want our home, car, money, degree, status or diamonds. The destroyer of life really desires our faith, joy, peace, praise and worship, gratitude, perseverance and our destiny. Every moment...every day...you and I can choose what we will allow to steal our peace of mind. Every day "stuff" is happening all around us in our homes, job, community, church and in the world news. The bitter and sweet, the good and bad are happening all at the same time. It's just that some days the bad stuff makes more noise. We are challenged on every side to stay in the light. We are challenged to stay in peace instead of falling to pieces. We are challenged to get up and be proactive instead of being procrastinators, worriers and hopeless victims. We are reminded to count our blessings and not our burdens. We are reminded to be compassionate of others. We should know that if we worry...don't even pray. If we pray and take action...don't worry. One cancels out the other. Whatever you are going and growing through...don't give up. Something great is about to happen. What a mighty God we serve! AMEN!

SANDY’S BLOG – Well, here we are in the month of July already!  What happened to June?  Does time fly when you are getting older or what?  I am still in shock about the death of Michael Jackson.  My children loved them some Michael Jackson.  Back in the days my son, Derek, entered (or I entered him) into every Michael Jackson’s dance contest and he won several.  I need to go home and find his trophies!  My first Jackson Five concert was May 30, 1971 at the Myriad Convention Center and again in 1972 and several times since. I was on the floor with my little cousins and they screamed the entire concert.  I was suppose to marry Jackie, my sister Sheila was to marry Tito, Stephanie was to marry Jermaine, and I was going to let my daughter, who was barely one, marry Michael. When my daughter, Cassandra, was five years old, I took her to the Jackson Five Concert at the Myriad.  We were close to the stage but Cassandra was too small to really see.  I let her stand in the chair but she still could not see.  We caught the attention of one of my neighbors and he said “Come with me Cassandra”.  He put her on his shoulder and carried her to the front of the stage.  Michael Jackson saw her and sat of the stage right in front of her and sang “Ben”.  Every time I think about the excitement in her eyes, I cry.  She was so proud and happy.  That was the Michael Jackson she remembered.  In San Francisco, 1981, I took Derek and Cassandra to The Jacksons Triumph Tour where he released his infamous “Thriller”.  Derek danced throughout the entire concert, about three hours, and I fell asleep.  Cassandra was nowhere to be found, I guess she and her friends were in front of the stage and as she reminisced him singing “Ben”.  There was never a Jackson concert like the Triumph Tour and there will never be another Michael Jackson!  RIP Mike!

Classes at The Tree Lounge are so much fun. Everyone dances with everyone whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced dancer.  I have students that are in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and with different ethnic backgrounds.  The beauty of my class is that we become friends and share so much together.  Stop in, join class or just check us out.  Remember, beginners begin at 7 pm!  My class at the Tree Lounge is so crowded that I am contemplating on teaching another day of the week and  you be the first to know! On Friday, my sister, Stephanie, was finally through with her summer course at UCO and we drove to Dallas.  I got a room at the Embassy Suites by Love Field for $45.00 on priceline.com.  The hotel was fantastic.  We arrived and happy hour had begun with free food and free beverages!  Yes, free beverages.  I always try and get a room close to the function I would be attending (The Mayor of Swing, Edward Smith’s 3rd Graduation) so I won’t have to drive very far afterwards.  Needless to say, I got so relaxed that I did not feel like doing much of anything but I slept like a baby.  The Embassy Suite had three rooms plus all your everyday essentials.  I did not have to spend a penny while I was at the hotel. I got up Saturday morning, put on my swimsuit and went to the Jacuzzi and then jumped in the pool to cool off.  Last, but best, I sat in the steam room for 15 minutes to clear of my sinuses and it felt so good and relaxing. I noticed several people having breakfast so I put on my coverall and joined them.  By the way, the breakfast was also free.  I had a spinach omelet with everything you can imagine on it, bacon, fried potatoes, fruit, and cranberry juice.  I took more fruit and yogurt to my room. I asked for a late checkout so I could take another little nap and then I got all dolled up and headed for the Sheraton Arlington (another one of my favorite hotels, $50 on priceline.com).  I checked in and watched Michael Jackson news for the entire day.  I arrived at The Arlington Event Center at 6:15 for a meeting concerning the contest.  The rest in history and the contest was great!  Dancers and judges from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, Oklahoma, Houston, Austin, and Killeen were in the house.  The AEC was packed and we danced until after 2 am.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank Derrick, RC Productions and Swingology for inviting me to be a judge!
