i’m an old soul and young at heart — i still clap every time my plane lands. grateful to land safely and flying is still magic to me.
a simple and profound reminder on repeat in my head this monday:
“you are your best thing.”
-toni morrison, beloved
happy monday, y’all.
Ryan Booker is teaching his class to sing Earth Wind and Fire's hit song "September." Now this is how you can introduce the younger generation to classic soul and funk music. We love to see it!✊🏽
