What I quit

This is the thing< I'm fifty years old now FIFTY. I"ve raised three children AND I'm a grand mother. First of all> Secondly I love what I do so very much to compromise is is to say it"s not of GOD. There is no compromise where as GOD is concerned. His gifts should be cherished and I do cherish what GOD has given me, the message he has entrusted me to deliver.Oh I have taken many things forgranted where as my gift is concerned. I"ve even pimped my  potential. But now being of sound mind and body and voice. I stand erect as a seventeen year old's member. There was a time when I don"t know but I'm gonna give room just in case I ever gave reason to be treated like a 50 cent slave.there was a time ( perhaps when I was a single black mother with 3 children to feed, clothe, educate and love) there might have been a tome when I did anything to bring home the bacon.But that time is over. OVER! I can not continue to go on the road and stay in substandard hotels where ANYTHING can happen to me, I can not be driven around in cars that stop on the side of the road, I can not bring staff such as band, assistants, road manager,etc.. and not pay them because the promoter didn"t pay me.I will not have promoters sit and have conversations with me about what they have heard about me and why they almost didn"t bring me in town, I will not pay my own hotel, air and food or take a shuttle to the hotel. I'm NOT gonna do ANY of that NOT ANTY ANTY of it.So I'm not going out doing shows anymore.I am grateful for everyone that has expressed support and or concern. I'd like you to know I'm good. I love you and if anything changes I will let you know. Love and Light
