FIRST – I’d like to wish a very Happy Solar Return to all of the Virgos and my Birthday twins – childhood friend/classmate Chuck Coleman, linesister Cassie McGill, My friend/coworkers pikin Mattie (Simone Jones) and my Buddha Karter (Leon Reed).
49 years around the Sun, and here I am, standing in my fullness—radiant, unshaken, and more aligned with the sacred rhythm of my being than ever before. Every year, I’ve honored this day with deep reflection, tracing the steps of my journey from the day I was born to the woman I am today. This year is no different, yet it carries with it a new vibration, a deeper pulse, a more profound sense of expansion.
The number 49 (11 – Master Number) itself is a powerful number—rooted in wisdom, transformation, and mastery. I’ve embraced every lesson, every joy, and every challenge that has shaped me along the way. I’ve learned that I am both the artist and the canvas, continually painting, evolving, and creating. From the ashes, I rise again, with my Sacral Chakra energy glowing as my compass and creative fuel.
Madame Turquoise, as you know her, is a reflection of my soul’s essence. She is the woman who walks with the ancestors, who moves in harmony with the cosmos, and who invites you all to join her in the dance of life. Through love, through creativity, through visioning and healing, I have found my center. And from that center, I am ready to radiate even more light and more love into the world.
As I celebrate this sacred journey today and for the rest of this month, I give thanks to every soul who has walked with me, whispered wisdom to me, and stood beside me in moments of transformation. I honor you all. I honor myself. I honor the divine spark that connects us all.
Here’s to 49 years of magic, and to all that lies ahead.
