    What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for
    the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may
    overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to
    peace.  ~ Agnes M. Pharo



    Christmas Blessings, Rhonda Grace

    Oh the weather outside is frightful,
    But cuddling up together is so delightful,
    And since we've have no place to go,
    let's hug! let's kiss! let's get passionate!

    Snow doesn't show signs of stopping,
    And I've bought some corn for popping,
    The lights are turned way down low,
    let's hug! Let kiss! let's cuddle! let's snuggle!

    When we passionately hug & kiss all night,
    How we'll hate going out in the storm!
    But if you'll really hold me tight,
    In your arms all night, we'll be warm.

    The fire is slowly dying,
    My dear, we're still cuddling & snuggling,
    But as long as you love me so,
    let's hug! let's kiss! let's make love!

    Hey there, hows it going?

    We just thought we'd send you a message to alert you about our video for our debut single Prism. We released the track from our upcoming album "To The Rest of The World" last month. It is now available via iTunes, Amazon and via SMS in the UK. Text "Track 3852" to 83262 and a reply will tell you how to download to your computer. We are obviously working hard to get up as high as possible in the charts so any help will be very much appreciated!

    Also, we have our new youtube video! If you have a youtube account please comment the page as to what you think :)



    Thanks again for your continued support for our music and MySpace friendship!

Whats my Impression on friends

Coolest Friends

Growing Rose

About me:

Buy your copied of INSPIRED right here... right now! Thanks for your support.




Your first impression of me, may be that I’m a little quiet, reserved, calm and reflective... Though you might very well be surprised when you get to know me, then read some of the things I’ve written and realise I’m not so quiet after all!

I love my 2 cats - Misty & Tigger, they surprise me with their daily antics and eccentricities. I am hard-working, creative and dedicated, as well as being a bit of a single-minded, multi-tasking perfectionist! (LOL)

Through many personal tribulations not limited to an employment sabbatical during most of ’07, I am not the same person I was back then... But I am all the more stronger for the trials I have experienced since.

As we approach the end of 2009, it’s hard to believe it has been 3 years since I started writing poetry again after a 6yr break. I’m often asked - why did I stop writing? But I guess what it really came down to was one of those things happened…
‘Life Happened.’

However, for 2010, I'll be flipping the script and Life will be saying...
'Angee Happened!"
Because I find myself in yet another employment sabbatical and I'll be using that time to complete the next two books which will be out early 2010.
As always, I thank God first for this gift with words he has bestowed upon me and for the many muses He has sent to show me the right way. I now see a realm of infinite possibilities and opportunities available to me and hope to help inspire others to see and achieve their dreams, as I work hard for mine.

My heart-felt Thank You’s go out to my INSPIRED (& THE PEOPLES LOUNGE) Family – my close friends and supporters who’ve always believed in me when sometimes I didn’t believe in myself (you know who you are too!). These special people who have helped me grow into what I am becoming now and of course to the new friends destined to cross my path in the future. (Are you going to be one of them?)

Just remember... FAITH makes all things possible. HOPE makes all things work and LOVE makes all things beautiful. May you have all of these as you continue your journey in life.

Every year I’m keeping it moving and taking it to the next level!

Starting with…

…The fact I am currently writing book # 2 “CINNAMON & SIN” …

...And Book 3 "INSPIRED FOR KIDS" …

… “INSPIRED” - MY FIRST BOOK OF POETRY has been out since Feb 2008 and if you buy direct from me via paypal, you will receive signed and dedicated copy!!!

...I have the honour of a Reading on Roots 95.4FM (www.ukrootsfm.com) every Thursday with General, Bassa, DJ Flass, Mr Clarke (aka Bryan Bailey) & Ron D’Guru 8-10pm (3-5pm EST) since June '08. Listen in because we’ll always have something hot and topical for you! We are worldwide online!

…Feel free to browse my poems in my blog and if you like what you read, tell me what you think as feedback is always welcome…

…Who I’m writing collaborations with…

…Where and when I’m next performing live…

…When I was in the USA recently for President Obama’s Inauguration ceremony in January 2009, I stopped by to perform in the Open Room at New York’s famous and fabulous Nuyoricans Poets Café, it was a truly humbling and exhilarating experience.

…AND THE BIGGIE…well a few actually!...

…Taking you back to April 2008… in celebration of National Poetry Month, I had an idea to create and host the April Write mass writing collaboration on 2 websites - MySpace & The Peoples Lounge. The TPL April Write will be published this year with a portion of the proceeds going to a worthy charity with the MS April Write following not too far behind…

…I’d love to hear from you so don’t hesitate to send me a quick message on MySpace.

…Get involved and support a fabulous group called "WE DECLARE PEACE ON THE STREETS" (Sponsored by The Prince's Trust) WeDeclarePeace@hotmail.co.uk - email them to find out details of their project and children's workshop, or check my blog for more info. These are some really great people doing great things for the local Community! Their ‘09 Workshop details coming soon…

…And… wait for it… In Feb 2009 I became a contributing UK Editor to Teen Caribbean Magazine (formerly known as SKOOP) www.teencaribbean.com so get in touch if you have something you’d like to share - news, educational and community events, celeb gossip etc.

Send your email to
A.Edgar@TeenCaribbean.com
or send books, music or community events for review to: PO Box 877, Harrow, Middlesex. HA3 3GH. UK.

**************************************************************


Below is a poem from my second book of poetry “CINNAMON & SIN”.
It is also winner of the Mad Jock Poem of the Week 21.

http://www.madjockpublishers.com/Poem-of-the-Week-Archive-page


“HUG”

All he ever wanted was a hug
Just some form of affection to show he was loved

All he ever wanted was a hug
Maybe that would’ve stopped him from becoming a thug

All he ever wanted was a hug
So he could know his father really did care

All he ever wanted was a hug
Maybe he wouldn’t have got caught up in a gang life snare

All he ever wanted was a hug
Maybe that would have told him someone was there

When his father died
His anger took hold
Made him so fierce
Made him act so bold
Hitting out at the nearest person
Damaging the nearest thing
Blind rage and no consequence
Like boxing invisible enemies in an empty ring
Made him hunger for a different life
All he ever wanted was a hug
All he wanted to do was live without strife
A downward spiral, a trip to hell
Unless someone can step in
Tell him, ‘Trust me and all will be well.’
But why did it take him going to jail
Whilst inside to meet victims of crime
To learn that his actions have consequences
That taking a life means losing yours doing time.

But it took a victim to show him
All he ever needed was a hug
He got that from a stranger
Who showed him there is such a thing as love.

If such a simple act of compassion
Is all it can take…
Then let’s talk and let me give you a hug
See what a difference, together we can make.

Who I'd like to meet:



People like me!

Honest, open, like-minded people because I love a bit of a chit chat when I'm not writing or watching movies or working the Day J.O.B.

I like people who are not easily offended (I’ve written a few racy poems that might get you a little hot under the collar) and those who like to have a really good laugh and love music, TV, Film and reading as much as I do.

Should you choose to send me a friend request after a visit, please think about sending me a short message too as I’d like to know that there is more to you than an anonymous friend request. I’d like to know there are ‘real people’ behind the pictures and fancy profiles with depth and character.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed your visit and feel welcomed whatever you choose to do.

Join me on the People's Lounge, where my TPL April Write anthology in celebration of National Poetry Month will eventually be published.

    I LOVE my movies and I am a LoveFiLM addict.
