Transform and Heal — Reconnecting!

Greetings of Peace Family and Supporters,

How is everyone doing? I pray all is well and Forward in all of your lives. As for me, I’ve been well — very well, in fact — Give Thanks. The Winter season is usually a time of concentrated inner focus for me. This year, my “winter” season started at the end of the summer. I received some very exciting news at that time which has required that my focused energy be on the innermost aspects of who I Am and on the intricacies of my most intimate relationships. Since this news I’ve been on an extremely beautiful journey. Nevertheless, I have missed communicating with you all as often as I usually do. Thanks to everyone who has been sending me emails to check up on me. I Appreciate you all.

My theme for these seasons that I’d like to share with you is to transform unhealthy cycles in your life into healthy cycles for yourSelf, family, community and the next generations. YOU have the ability to create the Beauty that you so desire and need in this life. Know that all you do is not just for you, but that your actions affect the entire universe and these effects will be inherited by the next generation. So, use your will to “Transform and Heal” any situation that you encounter in this life that is counterproductive, or even, not as effeciently handled as you know it can Be.

As I always tell you all — even when you do not hear from me via email, know that I never stop working on my craft and passion – Music. I’ll be looking forward to sharing many forms of new Life and Creation when the Spring comes forth, including sharing with you all some of my latest songs that will be on the next albums. You can continue to view my website at www.legacys-haven.com. Check out the jazz section of the site to see many videos including my rendition of “Wild is the Wind” (sang by Nina Simone and many other artists) that is ranked the #1 Banana Puddin’ Jazz Jam video ever! (A BIG shout out out to Mr. Rome Neal.)

Finally, I’d like to invite you to a couple of events that I will be attending. Please see the detailed information from the Black Gold Sacred Kultural Healing center below. I will be performing on December 26th at the Celestial Music & Spoken Word event and will also be present at the Kwanzaa celebration on December 27th. I hope to see some familiar faces there.

Sending Love and Light to You, - Legacy/Nusaiba

Kwanzaa Seven Principles Are Celebrated 365 Days Kwanzaa was created to introduce and reinforce seven basic values of Indigenous African culture which contribute to building and reinforcing family, community and culture among Indigenous Afrakans in  America  as well as Indigenous Afrakans throughout the world of Indigenous Afrakan communities. These values are called the Nguzo Saba which in Kiswahili means the Seven Principles. Developed by Dr. Karenga, the Nguzo Saba stand at the heart of the origin and meaning of Kwanzaa, for it is these values which are not only the building blocks for community but also serve to reinforce and enhance them. These values are re-dedicated yearly from December 26 – January 1. For more on Kwanzaa and how to celebrate, see book Spiritual Warriors Are Healers, 2nd Edition by Mfundishi Jhutyms Ka n Hweru El Salim Umoja (Unity) To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.
