<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Please! NO Michael Jackson music at Trump rallies. RISE UP!<br />The MJ Estate MUST take a Public Stance on this!<br /><br />Micheal Jackson's music is being played for Trump's clown car festival of lies he calls political rallies. </b></span><br />
<br />
Iāve
been mulling and ruminating over this for days. The anger brewing. I
needed to take a break from the endless gas-lighting for my own mental
health, just a few days freedom from the constant regurgitation of tRUMP
lies and drama so as a result I delayed reading a saved article about
IQ45ās Tulsa, OK ācampaign rallyā. Itās become normal for me to limit
what I watch or read in regards to tRUMP's ridiculous, propaganda and
lies on all subjects, most especially his tweetsā¦ well just forget about
itā¦ I donāt bother reading those at all. To me itās like drenching your
brain and psyche in a bucket of ignorant, runny horse shit and then
trying to see and think clearly afterward. A total waste of precious God
given time and always leaves me feeling desperate to take a shower or cleanse my brain in an attempt to escape the tRUMPlandia nightmare we are living in.<br />
<br />
So back to the the
saved article which was very interesting to me because it was written
by a veteran who infiltrated the Tulsa, tRUMPlandia rally. He
infiltrated with a group of other vets in support of Black Lives Matter
(BLM). God bless them for their service and their continued support for
the constitution and democracy in America. As I read his account of the
day I literally gasped out loud, dismayed and appalled to learn that IQ45
and his campaign have been playing Michael Jacksonās music, as well as
Beatles and Queen music at his rallies. He has done this many times and
time after time artists have spoken up and demanded he stop playing
their music. They do not want to be associated with his hate fests and
lies in any form. The list of artists is long: Adele, Bruce Springsteen,
The Beatles (yet IQ45 who has no regard for anyone but himself still
plays Beatles music), The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti,
Neil Young, Prince, R.E.M. Rihanna, Tom Petty, Guns Nā Roses, and
Aerosmith just to name a few. āØāØ<br />
<br />
All these artists or artistās
estates and families have sent cease and desist letters demanding
tRUMP stop playing/using their music. PUBLICLY they have taken a stand, unafraid
of backlash, or late night toilet dump tweets. They have risen up for
what is right and good. <br />
Much like Michael Jackson did many times in his
life. āØāØ<br />
<br />
Yet the MJ Estate will NOT publicly take a stand in
defense of MJās music and demand publicly that it not be played at these disgusting hate fests.
Their reasoning is legal at first and makes sense but then they claim <i>'Michael Jackson was friends with Donald Trump'</i> and <i>'regardless of whether Michael might have chosen to support President
Trump or not, no one can say with certainty whether Michael would stop
his music from being played for his fans to enjoy in these arenas prior
to Mr. Trumpās entrance at the event.'</i>If it were really true that filing and serving a Cease and Desist against the tRUMP campaign would not stop them from playing the music why is it then that they do NOT play the music from all the artists who have served him cease and desist orders and publicly demanded tRUMP and his clown car campaign of hate<br />
stop playing and using their music in any way... <br />
all of them of course except the Beatles which is owned by Sony and John Branca works for Sony. <br />
No coincidence there. <i><br /></i><b>I CALL BULLSHIT!!!</b><i><br /></i><br />
<br />
<b>It's not rocket
science! If you know anything about MJ you KNOW that he would NOT want his music
played at these gas-lighting, hate fueled events. </b><br />
<br />
<b>These rallies are the antithesis of MJ, how he lived, loved and all he stood for. āØāØ</b><br />
<br />
So
itās up to MJ fans around the globe to contact the MJ Estate and demand
they do what is right. <br />
We need to take a couple of minutes in these hard and crazy times and put John Branca and other executives and
representatives of the MJ Estate on notice that we are here for <br />
MJās
music, legacy, reputation and <br />
most especially for MJās children and we are not going away. <br />
<br />
We, MJās Army of LOVE, we need to remind them just who MJ was because
clearly they really donāt seem to have ever really known him. As Michael sang, "Anything for Money." Seems the only
time they claim to āreally know Michael Jacksonā is when they want MJ
fans to fork over their hard earned money. </div>

I canāt believe it even needs to be addressed; however here are several facts, pointedly directed toward
the MJ Estate. You would think that those who claim to really love and
support MJ and his legacy would not need to be reminded of these things
but then here we are in tRUMPās F*^cked up, ass backwards, insane world
of lies and spin where the F^*king 1% reign, the value of the almighty $
and the out of control lust for power from one mentally unstable, corrupt
man has more value than human life. THIS new normal is exactly what
Michael abhorred, wrote and sang about in, āThey Really Donāt Care
About Us.ā Ironically funny how tRUMP didnāt play that song at his asinine, hate
fest rally. āØāØ<br />

<br />
So here is some MJ reality for those who never knew or have forgotten: <br />
<br />
Michael
stood up, rose up and gave aid to the abused, debilitated, struggling,
homeless, needy, impoverished, disabled and sick around the globe. His altruistic deeds
and compassion for disabled, hospitalized and sick children gloriously
outshone his incredible, stratospheric music and dance career. His heart
of gold pouring out truly selfless love and support for those in need, the hurting,
the deprived, the fatherless, the black community, black entertainers and new to the
industry entertainers was legendary. He was a very PROUD BLACK MAN and
there is absolutely NO doubt that if he were alive today heād be
supporting BLM and his heart would be broken by the blatant racism, hate
and abuse toward blacks and minorities in the United States and around
the world. āØāØ<br />

Paris Jackson attends many protests to make a stance for justice.<br />
<br />
Michaelās beautiful children express exactly what he stood for and taught them as they feed the hungry and attend BLM and peace protests. I believe heād be so very proud of them. SO donāt even try to tell me that since Michael is gone there is no way to know how heād feel about his music playing at events that promote racism and hate. Or how he'd feel about separating families and putting children in cages. Or how heād feel about BLM for God sakes MJ lived Black Lives Matter his entire life, long before it was received globally.<br />
<br />
āØMichael Jackson NEVER questioned Barrack Obamaās birth place, citizenship or heritage. In fact he voiced his deep pride and joy at being alive to witness such a great accomplishment when Barrack Obama was elected and inaugurated as the first black president of the United States.āØāØ <br />
<br />
Some people claim Michael was friends with Donald Trump. I can say this is categorically NOT true. Michael shared a quote from Tao Te Ching, āThose who know donāt talk. Those who talk donāt know.ā Point being those who claim that DT and MJ were friends donāt know! <br />
<br />
āØ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~āØāØ<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i><b><span style="color: black;">Flor Siqueiros who personally knew Michael Jackson for 17 years and directed 5 Dangerous concerts in Mexico for him shared these thoughts with me:āØ </span><br />āI can personally assure you that they had a business and media relationship, but they were NOT FRIENDS. I did ask him [about Donald Trump] and he said they used each other for media photo ops on occasion, and a couple of times he took his kids for a brief visit. He was a tenant. Not his buddy. Knowing the current situation with Trump against the Black Lives Matter movement, he would have never allowed his music to be used in any way, shape or form for any political movement. He was a great admirer of champions against apartheid, injustice, hate and oppression and felt great respect for the ideals and people such as President Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou and of course, Dr Martin Luther King. There is no way he would allow his music with messages of love and peace to be politicized by and for the benefit of an individual such a Donald J Trump. Feel free to quote me. He was my friend.āāØāØ</b></i></span><br />
<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~āØāØ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
<br />
Unlike Flor's real friendship with Michael he had many, many so called āfriendsā hanging on, milling around in his life. Like lap dogs, sitting at his feet, constantly scheming, $$ in their eyes, worming their way in. These people were untrustworthy users, blood sucking leeches, taking what they could con from him. DT was one of those. He like so many others were only near MJ to bask in the glow of his fame and wealth, to take what they could get. DTās time in Michaelās life was very short lived and like so many, the list seems endless, when the tumultuous years came down heavy for Michael and there was nothing to be had, these fair weather, blood suckers all disappeared. After 2001 DT disappeared from Michaelās life. Michael would take just so much from people who would lie to him and use him then heād ICE them outā¦ and that was that. With DT - that was that. SOOO donāt even try to say, āMichael Jackson was friends with Donald Trump". They were NOT! EVER! <br />

Subject: <span style="color: black;"> Trump using MJ's and Beatles music </span><br />
Hi Alicia,<br />
<br />
Not sure if you know about this already as I was late reading this article. I try not to give much attention to Trump's bullcrap. Anyway this article is written by a veteran who infiltrated tRUMP's rally in Tulsa, OK. I know the Stones and Tom Petty denounced and forbade him and his campaign from using their music and many other artists have done the same. Also given MJ's belief system and the fact we all KNOW he'd definitely be supporting Black Lives Matter and always supported anything for inclusion based on L.O.V.E. I highly doubt he'd want his music played at any tRUMP function given he stands for racism. Also not sure how much of the Beatles catalog the MJ Estate has the rights to now but that should also be addressed. <br />
<br />
Hopefully if this hasn't already been addressed the MJ Estate will now do so before any more tRUMP rallies are held. āØāØ<br />
<br />
excerpt: [The music irked me instantly. Much to the concern of the rest of the team, Iād brought a notebook along and was already furtively scribbling. At one point, we listened sequentially to Michael Jacksonās āBillie Jean,ā The Beatlesā āLet It Be,ā and Queenās āWe Are The Championsā over the arenaās loudspeakers. I couldnāt help but wonder how that black man of, letās say, complicated sexual orientation, four outspoken British hippies, and a gay AIDs victim (Freddie Mercury) would feel about the way the Trump campaign had co-oped their songs. We can guess though, since the late Tom Pettyās family quickly denounced the use of his rock song āI Wonāt Back Downā at the rally.]āØ<br />

Hi Betty:<br />
<br />
The playing of songs in an arena, if it is not specifically synced to an audiovisual piece or a choreographed performance, is covered under compulsory licenses that are administered by the public performance societies such as ASCAP, SESAC, and BMI. This is akin to a song being played in a restaurant, or a strip club, or any other similar establishment that has a āblanketā license to play all music represented by each of the societies. The playing of songs in this manner does not require prior approval by the songās owner nor does it constitute an endorsement by the artist of the venue or the specific event being held there.<br />
<br />
Artists and songwriters can send cease & desist letters and make public statements distancing themselves from these uses ā as the heirs of Tom Petty and The Rolling Stones have done but it is important to note that doing so doesnāt mean those songs will not be played anymore. It just means they are making their views known. <br />
<br />
As for the playing of āBillie Jeanā or other of Michaelās recordings, just because the Michael Jackson Estate hasnāt put out a public statement doesnāt mean that they havenāt or wonāt similarly put the campaign on notice regarding the use of Michaelās music at campaign events. That being said, please keep in mind that Michael Jackson was friends with Donald Trump and regardless of whether Michael might have chosen to support President Trump or not, no one can say with certainty whether Michael would stop his music from being played for his fans to enjoy in these arenas prior to Mr. Trumpās entrance at the event.<br />

basically what you are saying is that unlike other artists the MJ

We all remember this day... June 25, 2009. Where we were... what we were doing... the smell, sounds, people around us on that fateful day when the world stopped to mourn the loss of Michael Jackson. This year is the 10th anniversary of losing the most inspirational, talented... simply the greatest entertainer and
humanitarian the music industry and the world has ever known. There will never be another like the beautiful Michael Jackson! <br />

shame his memory and attempt to destroy Michael's legacy all for $$$$ and as the media jumps on
board once again to believe the deceivers and money grubbers... it is up to

The donations to various charities every year are so special and bring so much joy to so many. This acknowledgement from the Department of Veterans Affairs makes me so happy and proud to be apart of this beautiful event every year. I just feel and know Michael has always smiled down and been very proud of the charity donations One Rose makes in his name and memory. Soooo Cool! It's always been All For L.O.V.E.

<br /><br />I am so proud to share this with every member of One Rose and any person that ever bought a Rose.....
This certificate shows how important our roses are and that they DO make a difference when donated on June 26th.
Veterans LA distributes to many..abused, homeless, hospice and many others.They have been a charity that has been with us from the beginning.
Anyone that has ever bought a Rose should feel very proud at the contribution we have made in making a difference...
I am sure Michael would be so proud and I know he is smiling down on us... :) </span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />SCREAM Premiere Los Angeles - Oct. 24, 2017<br /><br />A very long awaited and much needed boost of absolute joy for MJ fans occurred in Hollywood last night at the SCREAM Premiere. āØāØIt was wonderful to see some familiar MJ fans were able to fly in to attend the one night event. A large German contingent of MJ fans happen to be in Los Angeles and attended. For those who could not make it to L.A. you were with us in our hearts and definitely were missed and thought of during the night. Many local So. Cal. Fans from Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California (MJFSC) and some from neighboring states also made the drive to Hollywood for the festivities.āØāØ<br /><br />The Estate and MJ Online Team were of course at the helm with John Branca, Karen Langford and the MJ Online team all working to make this wonderful event and the night a big success. Director John Landis and the incredible award winning, special effects wizard, Rick Baker, and wardrobe people who helped make the Thriller short film the very BEST of all time were in attendance and were shown high appreciation. They sat only a few rows behind us. Also choreographer and dancer Travis Payne, beautiful Ola Ray and Joe and Jackie Jackson were in attendance among other celebs. Nick Cannon was our laid back host and donned gold glittery shoes to honor MJ for the occasion. He proudly talked about how he is/has always been a HUGE MJ fan and was not ashamed to MJ fan boy for all to see. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />āØāØāØāØāØThe sweltering 100 degree Hollywood heat did not dampen our spirits too much as we excitedly waited in line on a side street for over an hour. It was an odd place for us to line up but allowed the ticket organizers from IOTA to ascertain only those with tickets obtained entrance. It was so wonderful to see so many beautiful and wonderful MJ fans together again. And as always greeting and meeting new MJ friends is really awesome. We truly are a special sisterhoodā¦ oh yes and wonderful MJ brothers as well. The MJ fam is just the BEST. Finally we were led in groups of 30 to Hollywood Blvd. whooping and whoo hooing our MJ Thriller best along the way. Our group was first to be led to the theater as a witty guide led us down the street admonishing us we'd get lost if we decided to duck in for any fried chicken or stop to take music CDs from hawkers on the street. So down and around the corner we marched together laughing and smiling then across blocked off Hollywood Blvd. I have to say it was a special feeling walking through the barriers past everyone on the street and down the red carpet to the main Graumans theater entrance. </span></span></div>

And yes the words āYou can be my wingman anytimeā sprang to mind.āØāØ<br /><br />As we entered the large double lobby doors and walked past glass encased memorabilia from old Hollywood movies I was reminded of the Cleopatra memorabilia Iād previously viewed in the Graumanās lobby and felt surely Elizabeth Taylor was happy to be represented on this special MJ night just as she had supported her dear friend, Michael, through the thick and thin of his life. We stopped at the counter for free movie popcorn and drinks. MJās spirit lifting music played loudly, the notes surrounding us, our hands full of our snacks and drinks, drawing us through the doors of the plush theater. There is just something very special about MJās musicā¦ itās uplifting and heals the soul. We made our way down the stairs to our seats.<br /><br />This is the first time Iāve been in the main Graumanās theater since itās been refurbished. They did a simply magnificent job of retaining the wonderful, elegant, Old Hollywood, original Graumanās look. The only standout, main change is that there is no longer one long sweeping descent down the isle to the stage but now they've created two levels. Each with total viewing access to the screen. As always the best seats at most MJ shows are not in the very front at the stage. Our seats were in the front row of the 2nd tier and only a few rows back were the VIPs and John Branca, Karen Langford, John Landis, Rick Baker, Ola Ray, Joe and Jackie Jackson filled these seats. Rick Baker being directly behind us and John Branca in the outside seat on our right 4 rows back and Joe Jackson and Ola Ray on the left. Again I felt blessed to know without trying we were honored to have the best viewing seats as has happened so many times. Thank You God for special favors you know I love. āØāØ</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />As we waited for the show to begin I enjoyed a big bag of popcorn in a most MJ way as a trailer for Michael Jacksonās Halloween played over and over along with MJ trivia questions. I laughed out loud as I answered the trivia correctly. Most MJ fans can. Seems we have a special compartment in our brains for MJ. The Halloween cartoon which will debut on CBS this Friday, Oct 27, 2017 looks so cool! It is so awesome that Michaelās dream of making Halloween especially MJ is being fulfilled. Thank you to the Estate who has made this happen along with many other dreams Michael outlined in his 'to do list' he outlined when he was rehearsing for 'This Is It'. āØāØ<br /><br />Soon Nick Cannon walked out on stage donned in his now typical turban head gear and opened the event. First up... the Ghosts movie/short film in all itās awesomeness but on the big screen. WOW!!! Viewing Ghosts in a theater is a whole new experience and brings to light details Iāve never noticed while watching it on DVD. The big screen makes Ghosts crisp and NEW! Itās like seeing it for the first time AGAINā¦ but even better. I felt so much joy thinking Michael must have been feeling so proud as he watched from heaven, glittery socks & loafers dangling over the edge of a cloud as he downed a bag of popcorn while watching the crowd enjoy his work as it was meant to be seen. āØāØ<br /><br />Next was the new Blood on the Dance Floor video played to not as much excitement. Jamie King and Cirque dancers putting their spin on MJās iconic original short film. All I can say about this one is it was so freaking awesome to see MJās gorgeousness in his red Blood On The Dance Floor suit up on the big screen and I wish there were more... much more of MJ in it. āØāØ<br /><br />Nick Cannon then introduced John Landis to say a few words and introduce Thriller 3D, saying that he felt Michael would be so happy with the result of Thriller in 3D which was Michael's dream. āPUT ON YOUR GLASSES!!!ā he laughed and echoed </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to us from the wings as an after thought</span></span> while he exited the stage. Each seat had been supplied with 3D glasses so on they went as Thriller 3D loomed to life and filled the screen to whoops, applause and cheers. WOW! WOW! WOW! From the very first familiar scene that we have viewed probably millions of times by nowā¦ it was fresh, new, crisp and PRESENT. I felt a stark deja vu, as if catapulted back to the 80s feeling I was viewing Thriller for the first timeā¦ AGAIN! The freaking details you see in Thriller 3D are mind boggling. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What a fantastically amazing job John Landis has done with this short film. I could imagine and feel Michaelās joy at finally having his work of art honored in 3D and another dream of his completed.<br /><br />

I can convey is just think about Michaelās face smiling that playful, smirky
grin in Thriller as he says, āYeah, you were scaredā in 3D on the big
screen. I mean REALLY???? Yeah! That!!!āØāØ<br /><br />It was an amazingly
joyful and wonderful evening. I do however have to say as always all the
joy was countered with the nagging, old sadness that over took us on June 25,
2009. That sadness... the hole left in our collective hearts when the world lost MJ </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">that will
simply never go away</span></span></span></span>. As well as the sadness that
Michael himself is not present to see so many of his dreams and plans
come to fruition. We will always miss you, Michael, and be forever
grateful for all the joy, beauty and talent you gave the world. I'm personally so grateful I lived during your lifetime. The
world is so much better because āWe Had Youā and there will forever
remain a void in the heart of the world with you gone. Oh how we could use your L.O.V.E. and caring, loving consciousness for what was right and good for ALL in these times we live.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />After the screening we began to make our way to the After Party upstairs but not before giving a big MJFSC cheer to John Landis who was greeting people at the seats right behind us. On the count of three we let out a big, āTHANK YOU JOHN!!ā Yes, thank you, for making MJās dream come true and blessing us with another short film work of art which again sets the bar even higher. We have all known for decades that Thriller will simply NEVER be toppedā¦ Thriller 3D is the only exception. āØāØāØāØāØāØāØ</span></span><br />

Some spontaneously replicating MJās moves, quite exquisitely, on the dance floor. We were blessed to meet Puerto Rico born, Esai Morales and my dear friend, Deborah, exuberantly did not hesitate to tell him she loved his work in La Bamba. I was too shy to approach him. He was gracious and gorgeous. <br /><br />Renowned DJ, Steve Aoki, pumped out the music as we noshed on hors dāoeuvres, enjoyed the open bar, mingled, sang and danced. It was a great night! āØāØ<br /><br />MJ fans will be thrilled to know that in the not too distant future 'Ghosts' will also be remade into 3D and Thriller 3D will soon be released world wide. <br /><br />āØāØāØš¶ Cause this is THRILLER, thriller night!

<span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true"><br />This June 25, 2017 is the 8th anniversary of the tragic loss of Michael Jackson... the King of Pop... the King of Hearts. At the time of his death I'd been living a very private, limited life.... protecting my children and myself from the world, licking wounds from a n<span style="background-color: white;"></span>ightmarish marriage ravaged by drug addiction, abuse and divorce, the loss of my mother and more than one company lay off. I was already numb... had been numb for years. </span></span><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true">Michael Jackson's death obliterated the numbness and served as the catalyst that tore open my heart exposing years of pain. There simply was no time to deal with or heal from the chasm of grief </span></span>as I attempted to just survive the crap storm of my life. His death magnified every loss, exposing it all fresh and anew. His death also served as the tool which ripped me out of the protected, limited, sedate 'church' world I'd been hiding in, catapulting me into a public, worldwide sisterhood, the axis of my life forever altered. Ultimately Michael Jackson's death was the synergy needed for healing and growth in my life.</span></span><br />

<span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true"><br /><br />One of Michael's greatest wishes was that the world connect in love. It seems that in death this wish was somewhat achieved as millions have connected in love for him and now for each other as we have grown to know and love one another. I have made beautiful friendships I will always cherish. </span></span><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true">Grief they say
is experienced in stages. I've felt at times on this roller coaster of grief like I was treading
muddy water, yet at other times I've felt
as though I was on the highest spiritual mountain feeling a very special touch from above. Then again if you do
not allow yourself to experience each stage fully they say you will
need to loop back and continue to experience it over and over. I've seen
that in some MJ fans who continue to sob hysterically over his loss as if it were yesterday. My
heart breaks for them as they stagnant in any particular stage. Personally for the most part I have been able to move on to 'Acceptance'... thank God. Now I know and feel 'Time' is the answer. It's been 8 years now and although Michael will never be forgotten there is so much happening in this world that demands immediate attention and passion to carry L.O.V.E. and 'freedom' forward. Hopefully I can now practice Michael's message to "Make That Change" as best I can in this crazy, unjust world. </span></span><br />

<span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true"><br />In my heart I will forever be grateful to Michael Jackson, a man I never knew, an incredible loving, kind and generous man who spent his entire life bringing music, joy, love and CHANGE for the better into the lives of people around the world. He truly was God's chosen child of love, a child prodigy who forever retained the magic of a child's heart and an adult icon that will never be forgotten. It still amazes me how he globally radiated more talent than any one human has ever shown the world. His love for the hurting and this planet was stratospheric. <br /><br />My family at times did not quite understand my love and gratitude for Michael Jackson. Sometimes it's hard for people to accept change in those they love. There is a comfort in keeping people limited and unchanged, because as those they love stretch and grow it also requires they too stretch their own acceptance and understanding... sometimes they simply are not ready for that... simply do not want change. However my family for the most part saw my joy, the new energy MJ and the incredible journeys, friends and experiences that Michaeling </span></span><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true">ushered into my life... and were happy for me. Several of my</span></span> grandchildren totally 'get it' and when they visit with me ask to see his short films and hear his music and clearly love it as it's impossible to listen to Michael's music and not be lifted by the positive energy. They also enjoy a visit to his Hollywood walk of fame star and other Hollywood landmarks on outings together. My youngest grand daughter who has such a sensitive heart and spirit enjoyed a visit to the Neverland gates while on a trip up north with grandma to see the Monarch Butterfly Grove. These moments are so special for me. One Christmas my son thrilled me with a present of a giant 'This Is It' theater poster to add to my MJ collectibles. I truly felt he 'got it'. I hold on to these precious moments as it is always so nice to feel accepted and loved by those we love so deeply.... and so very heartbreaking when they reject us after we show our true heart. <br /><br /> So here it is 8 years after losing Michael... way too soon... the MJ family around the world has gone through much. We have come to know each other amidst our common bond. In observation some remain stagnant... maybe comfortable in the pain... or stuck in emotional problems that were there before his death and manifested openly with his death... who knows? Some have turned Michael into their personal god and literally pray to him. Yikes... but to each their own. My personal choice is to pray to the God who created the world and all of us in it... as Michael did... always pointing upward and acknowledging that he and all his gifts came from God. Some sit on their self appointed perch judging others finding some lack what makes a fan a fan, comfortable in their superior fandom... this attitude boggles my mind. Some exhaustively need to tell everyone over and over they are the 'biggest and bestest' MJ fan EVER, know 'everything', have been 'everywhere' MJ related and met 'everyone' connected to MJ in any way shape or form. </span></span><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true">Maybe this validates them on MJ's level somehow... who knows? </span></span>Some have taken a small real life interaction with Michael to a whole other level turning themselves into self proclaimed fan type celebrities. Some take these small real life encounters they had with Michael... sometimes only a picture or a moment and create an entire book jammed with fiction and lies all for the sake of making money off the fans. Some continue to also exhaust everyone constantly stirring the pot of controversy instigating drama and unfounded rumors never able to grasp the love and peace message Michael shared with the world. UGH! At the other end of that </span></span><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true">spectrum some have tired of the drama or life circumstances have moved them on and they have disappeared from the MJ community completely. </span></span>Some, the number seems to dwindle each year, continue to make the loving pilgrimage to Los Angeles each June when funds allow especially for the beautiful One Rose for Michael J. Jackson event. Personally for me at this point in my life I have learned </span></span><span data-offset-key="6la7r-0-0"><span data-text="true">to lead a more rounded, full life... less obsessing over/about Michael and more inspired by Michael's example to expand my boundaries, appreciate trying new things, learn more, read more, listen to more different types of music and artists, embrace art, creativity and design, enjoy museums and treasure hunting in antique and thrift stores, which I love, and when funds allow travel. I have expanded my 'Michaeling' to 'Make That Change' even in the smallest of ways in my family, life, neighborhood and community by becoming more politically educated and active in my personal tiny sphere of influence. His touch and influence on my life always present in all I do with the Lord, my source, as my guide. <br /><br />The one thing I will ALWAYS hold dear from the MJ community are the very close friends that the Lord brought into my life via Michael Jackson. I hold those friendships close to my heart and cherish all the unique qualities of each one. I am so grateful and thankful for the those who have traveled this journey of grief recovery with me whether online or in person. God bless each and every one of you wherever you may live in this world. May we all heal where we are at this moment in time and may our journey continue in joy and love. </span></span><br />

However according to stories from those who knew Michael Jackson... they there were good friends. You could see in their artistry the similarities, the competitiveness, the admiration for one another and the commitment to create outside the box. Well... truly there was NO box for either of them... but then that's how it is with genius minds. If socially acceptable creative rules said 'don't' they pretty much 'did'... just each in their own way... differently.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h3>

I didn't really like all of Prince's music like I do MJ's... but some songs were the bomb... Purple Rain and Little Red Corvette, Sometimes It Snows <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In April <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">are</span></span> my favs. What I really loved was Prince's genius, artistry and sense of style. He was unique. His concerts were amazing... and I'm so very happy I made th<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">e</span> decision in 2011 to attend 2 of his concerts during his '21 Ni<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">te</span> Stand' <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">r</span>esidency, <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">on</span> his 'Returning 2 America Tour', at what was then the original Forum. The same original Forum <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">where Jackson 5 performed <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">in 1972. </span></span>In fact I "had" to go to his concert... no way was I going to live as I did when MJ died thinking yet again... if only I'd gone to one of his concerts when he was in L.A. The world knows NO ONE could put on a show like Michael did... the spectacle, the energy, the magnitude... his shows were unearthly, especially when he went out on his own. Not even Prince, especially at the old Forum, could reach that level but from what I saw he must surely have been a damn close second with musicality, artistry<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">,</span> energy and showmanship. Prince even played an 'Off The Wall<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> - Don't Stop Til You Get Enough' </span>tribute for his friend Michael at these concerts. Although I share here his concerts were absolutely amazing... <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">for me they</span> reaffirmed th<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">e </span>regret of what I'd missed... the echoing 'if only' I'd been able to experience one of Michael's concerts in person... 'Oh what would it have been like?'</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;">What was so different about Prince for these concerts was unlike most other artists of today... ruled by money... he lowered his prices on these concerts so that just about anyone could afford to go. Lowered them to the nostalgic 1970's prices of $25 a seat which ironically in the 70s was way to expensive for me. Back then my day to day life was all about surviving and making sure the children were fed, clothed and the bills were paid. Just surviv<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">al</span>... making it through each day.... so I rarely ever went to a concert... unless on a date. Although the $25 seats were also great, </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span data-offset-key="8qabp-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span data-offset-key="8qabp-0-0"><span data-text="true"><span style="font-size: large;">in the mid range viewing area, and one night I did t<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a</span>ke advantage of them... on the first night I attended I opted for the more expensive
seats closer to the stage in the right loge area. Awesome seats!!! <br /><br />Many celebrities, entertainers and just <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">some</span> media famous all came out to see Prince in concert and were always seated on the floor directly in front of the right stage where stairs gave them access to the stage.

He came out onto the Colosseum floor after the concert and rode a bike around in circles one night just to hang with fans and staff workers still milling about. Some nights he'd do 2 <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to 4 encores for the fans. </span>One of the night's I attended he came back out on stage and kept playing to late <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">minglers</span>. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">M</span>any had left but a spattering of fans had stayed in their seats waiting for the main rush of the crowd to leave... with whispers to "stay in your seats he may come back out and do an encore". Then to our utter amazement and absolute joy he did!! He reappeared with his full band and played another short set for us. The entire stage was his 'symbol' lit mostly in shades of purple throughout the show. His band was in the middle of the top, <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">circular</span> section where he also would walk down stairs to an open elevator platform and disappear or reappear. That is where he reappeared for us... then walked right over to us on the right side of the cross section very close to where we were originally seated. We were then able to move down close into the abandoned front row seats... right in front of him... up close and personal. He smiled and joked and laughed and jammed with us. I wish I could remember what he said... but I was so gob smacked and dumb founded I couldn't remember it even on that night as we finally left. It was absolutely amazing, intense and euphoric. I'll never forget it.... he took us to music church... he was one with his guitar, made it sing and make sounds most guitars do not make... his voice... his style... his movement (OMG could he move)... there is nothing to explain seeing him jam full out right in front of your eyes. He was the ultimate showman!</span> </span> </span></span></span></span></span><br />

Here is what I wrote about that portion of Brad Sundberg's seminar in 2014:</span></span></span></span><i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i></span></h3>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br />-
MJās personal chefs were also on hand with MJās fav food for us to
indulge in. I especially enjoyed the enchiladas, pop corn and Hot Banana
Pudding. Two ladies, The Slam Dunk Sisters, as MJ dubbed them, shared
stories about cooking for MJ and time with him. Michael flew them all
over the world when he craved their cooking. One story in particular
about a time they were summoned to cook MJās favorite dinner ācheese
enchiladasā at Neverland for a visitor. How MJ leaned over the upstairs
banister and yelled to them there would be someone knocking on the door
soon and that he wanted them both to answer it and heād be down in a
while. Soon there was the knock so they went to the door and opened it
and there stood PRINCE. Yes! That Prince... Purple Rain Prince... all
decked out top to bottom in a canary yellow suit with white platform
shoes and a top hat with a large white plum out the side. He stood there
meekly holding a little gift box for Michael. They were totally at a
loss for words and just stood back against the wall as he walked in the
front door past them... speechless... their mouths hanging open. MJ took
a while to make his entrance then suddenly appeared at the top of the
stairs, glittering and dressed to the nines... for an outfit showdown.
There he stood saying nothing just looking directly at Prince. Prince
took a stance like 'Check me out!' and MJ responded with his pose...
giving each other the showdown glare with each striking pose. This went
on for sometime as they showed their awesome stuff off. Then they broke
into laughter and started giggling, slapping each other on the back and
telling each other how great they looked. They settled in for a long
night of friendship, dinner and movies... just hanging out and being
themselves. āØāØ</span></i></span><br />

ā„ <span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">The One Rose event is a unifying and beautiful showing of LOVE for Michael and that LOVE is then 'paid forward' for people in need. I have personally witnessed year after year... over and over again an empty sad face turned to joy when handed Michael's roses. Then when they hear that the roses in their hands are from the One Rose for Michael Jackson their eyes light up even brighter. It is such a blessing... a huge gift for them to feel that someone cares. Some have not received flowers, love or a hug in a very long time. They walk away with a smile on their face, a little lighter in their step and happier in their soul. I feel Michael shines his light on so many sad souls via One Rose.</span></span></h3>

He lost his courageously fought battle with brain cancer on Friday, Feb. 18<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, 2016.</span><br /><br />Majestik was a faithful and loyal friend and right hand man to Joe Jackson and very close to Katherine and La Toya Jackson. He always defended Michael to the media and helped the MJ fans when possible. He was a special character. God broke the mold with Majestik. He was funny, flamboyant in his suit styles and colors and his booming voice always announced, "I am Majestik the Magnificent!" You could not miss his big, broad smile and he brought his own personal energy to MJ events over the years. </span></span></span><br />

In one interview in particular he very firmly set Nancy Grace straight by sharing the truth about Michael Jackson... debunking her crap with verbal punches... left and right... over and over. We thanked and cheered him for his efforts. He would not back down... where many were afraid to speak out... Majestik fearlessly opposed the lies about Michael. <br /><br />Majestik was not a perfect human being. I don't know any family members who are... and that is exactly what he was... is ... to us in the MJ Community... FAMILY. We loved him in spite of his short comings as I pray and hope people will do for me... for all of us... one day when it's our time to go home. May each of us find the grace to love and forgive one another. And may each of us be so blessed as Majestik to have such love surround us in our lives and our times of need. Majestik you will never be forgotten. ā„<br /><br />Our hearts and prayers also go out to all of Majestik's loved ones and close friends and most especially to Joe and Katherine Jackson who stood by Majestik to the end and helped him so much. God bless those who cared for Majestik in these last difficult years of illness. God bless you and may the Lord comfort you all through this time of grief. ā„</span></span></span><br />

I'll never forget the time at a Halloween MJ fan party when I handed over my ring and wondered if you would make it disappear! I was a bit nervous and watched very closely to see where it would go and if it would reappear in the same place... we laughed and enjoyed that night so much.... and yes true to your word my ring was back on my finger safe and sound. <br /><br />You will be missed... say hello to Michael in his heavenly home from us all! Share some magic tricks with him... make him smile for us. We will very much miss seeing you in June and August each summer and at Tributes and Premiers for all things Michel Jackson as we continue to keep Michael's legacy alive.<b></b></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><b><span style="color: #990033; font-family: "arial";">A call to action for all MJ fans </span></b><span style="font-family: "arial";">had
gone out via the internet to protest against Conrad Murrayās Non
Arrest. Fans were now making plans to rally and stand together in
protest against the āNon Arrestā on arraignment day at the Los Angeles
Airport Court House. I had been one of the thousands of people calling
in and emailing to demand Conrad Murrayās arrest āin handcuffsā for the
murder of Michael Jackson, seven long months after his death.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">I
had no idea that my decision to hold a sign and stand for Michael
Jackson would turn out to be a spiritual experience for me. I began to
doubt I should be there at all, so I prayed asking for direction. I was
also hesitant to make the drive there alone. Fear and anxiety had
loomed over me... but I wasnāt sure if it was the sickening feeling of
confronting Dr. Death or the not knowing where or what I was walking
into. Although the drive was more than an hour it seemed to pass in
just moments as I sang along with MJ the whole way... but as I reached
the end of the journey fear gripped me again. I was praying and asking
the Lord to help me as I pulled off the freeway and on to city streets.
Feeling not so sure that I would actually take part I sent up one last
request for an answer, some sort of assurance that I was truly suppose
to be there andā¦ then so <i>crystal clear </i>over the loudly
playing MJ music that is the backdrop of my lifeā¦I heard MJ's voice
from This Is It. "It's an adventure. We're going to go places we've
never been before, do things we've never done before." All trepidation
lifted from me, joy literally filled my heart and determination took
root. Instead I now NEEDED to stand strong as an MJ Soldier of LOVE. Because of this experience and a few others I feel MJ is so truly in heaven with the LORD! The Lord confirmed it for me again that day as I heard MJās words ring in my mind. I now know beyond any shadow of doubt that MJ is with his heavenly Father.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">I
arrived to find news crews and media from all over the world
everywhere. A plethora of cables, trucks, satellite feeds, antenna
towers and people just everywhere. Picking up my step I forged on up
the drive and as I approached the curve to the front entrance suddenly a
police officer barked āMammm!ā I looked around for the Mammm and
realized he was referring to me. Ha-ha!. The sheriff impatiently
repeated āMammmā adding āPLEASE move to the side!ā I did a quick side
step and turned my head to see and feel the heat from the front Jackson
caravan SUV glide by me. SUV after SUV motored up the driveway to the
court house. I tried to quickly raise my sign to show them my support. Heaviness began to fill my heart. I was to find out later that the 1st SUV was indeed Michaelās dark blue Escalade.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Quickly
I sought out familiar faces and found my wonderful, loving friends
from MJFSC (Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California)
were there at the front line. Every where I looked fans from other
websites and Face Book pages were there in support of Michael. Some
famous faces and every day people like me. Many new found friends with
one common thread of love that ties us inexplicable together. My friend
Robyn says āEach fan is a thread of a large tapestry woven together in
a shroud of love to protect Michael foreverā. Before me were people
of all races, nations and creeds, there to stand as Soldiers of LOVE for
Michael Jackson, standing now for JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL JACKSON.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">As
I approached the front of the line, with sign in hand, where MJFSC
friends stood, a sheriff deputy instructed me to stay back on the other
side of the court yard. Signs were not allowed within 150 feet of the
walk way. I stepped back a few feet and lowered the sign. I was given a
red armband to wear by Heidi and we helped each other attached our arm
bands. Moments later the Jackson family emerged from their cars. The
entire court yard seemed to take a simultaneous breath in. It may have
been me but it was suddenly VERY quiet in spite of the clicking,
flashing and camera jockeying everything suddenly seemed to all move in
slow motion. The air was thicker and the grief was palpable. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">First
Jermaine and his wife stepped out and began to move up the walk toward
the building, and then Joe Jackson who stood and waited for his wife
and family, Tito also waited at car side and extended a helping hand to
his mother, Katherine. Then Jackie, Rebbie and Latoya emerged along
with some of Michaelās nephews, family members and friends. Katherine
stood waiting for a moment or two for her family to gather around her
and then began the slow, painful walk to the courthouse to confront her
sonās murderer. I had the feeling Michael was at her side. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">
Oh how he loved his mother. Perfection is how he described her.<br />
There were some fans who cried out āWe LOVE you Katherineā,<br />
āWe LOVE you Jacksonsā, āJUSTICE for MICHAELā.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">About
fifteen minutes later Randy Jackson arrived. At first everyone thought
it was Conrad Murray and the energy level immediately shot up several
hundred notches, then realizing it was Randy immediately another
collective breath out. Randy stepped from his car looking fresh and
sharp but clearly weary from grief. He too received the same
encouraging cheers of āWe Love You Randyā, āJUSTICE for MICHAELā. Then
while sitting in the courtroom on Twitter Randy told the fans: Sitting
in court & I'm sad. Those profiting most from my broās death: AEG,
Randy Phillips, Kenny Ortega, Estate Executors r nowhere in sight.<a href="http://twitter.com/randyjackson8/status/8825008684"><br /></a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />We
all took to our posts to wait for Dr. Death to arrive and then 1 hour
later a white SUV pulled up. Was it just a coincidence a white SUV
taxied him to the courthouse? I remembered a white SUV many years
earlier in a slow chase by the L.A.P.D. down the 405 freeway as O.J.
ran for his freedom. Others made the same comment. If CMās lawyers had
planned to bring him in on a white horse the plan had failed in our
eyes. It was a detail not missed by most. The energy level shot up. I
felt sick. My skin was crawling. I have never ever felt anything like
it in my life. There was a force taking over. I had chills; the hair on
my arms was standing on end. My feet left the ground as I sprang
forward toward him hoisting my sign.</span></span></div>

Murray was personal physician to Michael Jackson when he died from an overdose of a powerful prescription sedative at the age of 50 on June 25. Jackson was rehearsing for a 50-concert comeback series at the O2 arena in London while staying at a rented estate in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The
justice on this day was quite different from the harsh treatment
Michael received in his lifetime. Michael was handcuffed, humiliated
and drug off to jail and he was completely innocent. This man admitted
to giving the fatal medication which killed Michael Jackson and Homicide
charges are already filed. I am hoping that at the very, very least
the sheriffs will have him in handcuffs. He however stays true to his
deceitful self and emerges from the car with his hands behind him and I
am asking everyone around āIs he in handcuffs?ā Everyone is looking
and acknowledging āYes he is in handcuffs!ā Then he reveals as he walks
and swings his arms freely to the front and adjusts his suit jacket
that he is not hand cuffed at all.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">We
the fans had promised the Jacksonās we would be dignified and handle
ourselves respectfully and I for one tried very hard to follow through
with that request and stay civil and calm but when Dr. Death walked
down the path I simply HAD to scream <span style="color: black;">MURDERER!
MURDERER!! JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL!! Most all of us did! Some just yelled
WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL! I guess that would have been the more loving and
dignified thing <br />
but I just couldn't muster it.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Everyone
could see him clearly. He is very tall. People began to talk about him
openly. I was disgusted he was not handcuffed. Somehow for me if he
would have been hand cuffed it would have been a sign that justice
would be served. Seeing him walking freely spoke volumes to me and it
suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks. The gravity of the injustice
extolled to Michael Jackson in his life and I began to cry openly. I
had my sign and hid behind it and sobbed for Michael. That is when a
journalist from Japan approached and behind my sign asked if he could
interview me. He was a kind, soft spoken man and told me in Japan,
Michael has many, many fans, which I already knew but hearing him share
it was comforting. He seemed to love Michael too. So I spoke to him
about my feelings and why I needed to be there as I cried for Michael.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />The
media was interviewing all the fans. It was so crazy. Media frenzy at
every turn. I called in sick so couldn't let my face be seen on TV but
apparently when you want to hide from the pap they only get intrigued. I
realize now that I may have āpossiblyā looked like Debbie Rowe hiding
with my blonde hair behind my sign. I think every one of us was
interviewed by news centers and stations all over the world. TMZ and CNN
ran live feed. I hid behind my poster most of the day until my son
called my cell and said "Uhh mom, I know you don't want to be seen but
you are on live feed on CNN right now and they are filming your face"
So I gave up hiding and helped to hold up the JUSTICE banner too. I was
very low key but was personally interviewed by Los Angeles, Japan,
South American and Australian news crews; those I remember but there
were more. I was dizzy there were so many. I declined many requests.
Most especially ALL of the Channel 7 interviews letting them know it
was because they hired Martin Bashir to cover this trial. Martin Bashir a
despicable man who I also hold accountable for Michaelās death, as
well as Tom Sneddon. They might as well have been in the room with
Murray that night. It felt good to voice that I have boycotted channel 7
because of Bashirās dirty, twisted documentary and untrue, salacious
treatment of Michael Jackson. I am sure the reporters really could care
less about not getting an interview with a nobody like me but it felt
darn good to stick up for MJ and voice my opinion to someone from the ABC.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">We
waited for any news from inside the court room, as crew after crew
photographed posters and banners and interviewed fans non stop for what
seemed like hours. I lost all track of time. It was a complete
whirlwind. I began to get a tiny glimpse at Michael Jacksonās life.
The non stop paparazzi frenzy that followed him everywhere was really
too much to bear. The delicate way you have to word everything so it
isnāt misconstrued or twisted. So much disregard for personal space,
wishes and privacy. My heart ached for him, his family, his mother and
his children.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Slowly
messages were passed from friends who won lottery tickets to sit in
the courtroom. The DA was asking for $300,000 bail. Not enough as far
as the fans were concerned. Then shockingly it was lowered to $75,000.
That was worse but better than the unfathomable $25,000. First no
handcuffs and then a drop in the bucket bail amount, we all wanted him
in jail NOW. Then the biggest insult, the end to this day of so
called justice is just so sad. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">1. He is no longer allowed to administer propofol. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">What? Wouldnāt an anesthesiologist and not a cardiologist administer propofol anyway? </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">2.
Oh yes and the very harsh disciplinary action by the judge also
prohibits him from practicing medicine in California. Oh yeah thatās
rightā¦hmmmā¦ his practices are in Texas and Nevada. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">3. He was ordered to surrender his passport. </span></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0;">

little brother, Randy Jackson, came out the front door, the same door
he had gone in upon arrival and escaped most of the paparazzi. There
was a sad and respectful silence in the courtyard as he walked through.
Then shouts of āI Love You Randyā, āThank You Randyā, āWe Love You
Randyā rang out. He very humbly waved to the fans and unceremoniously
climbed in the front seat of the limo with his driver and they left. We
waited and checked several doors but Conrad Murray was smuggled out.</span></span></div>

protecting him from the "fans" I just feel sick. How deeply I wish the
fans could have protected Michael Jackson from Conrad Murray and so
many others. I picture the raid on Neverland and the bruises on
Michaelās arms. I am certain of one thingā¦ NO ONE in this life gets away

am feeling as if I will never stop, the world will never stop grieving

has not succeeded. Will not ever succeed! Every fiber of Michaelās
being was all about LOVE and even in death he is STILL spreading his
L.O.V.E. <br /><br />

<br />
I have recently started listening to my Christian music again and there is a line in a song I love that goes: "I am just a tear on a crowded street." Every time I visit MJ's Hollywood Star this is how I feel. Even in the most joyous times my heart still breaks... when I'm there near his star I'm just a 'tear' on the boulevard... for the emptiness, the loss, the missing what could have been... the longing, the yearning for more of Michael Jackson seems to never leave... will last For All Time. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">God can do anything, far more than you could ever think or ask or<br />imagine in your wildest dreams! ~ Ephesians 3:20</span></b></div>
<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
<br />
It was dark, very dark... I donāt even remember there being a moon that night. Finally and gratefully I had time off work. Just in time too as I was looking so forward to the ceremony. I had no idea what was in store on this Michaeling adventure. I have learned to just stay open to what ever God has for me. I make the plans and put the results in Godās hands. He just places me where he wants me to be. One day I may know why but for now I stand in awe of my most precious Lord and thank him constantly for he knows the deepest desires of our hearts.<br />
<br />
Robyn and I had discussed the time... an announcement had been posted stating the earliest time to line up would be 6:00 in the morning. I am a night person, not an early riser but have trained my body clock to rise at 5:30 every day for work just like a responsible grownup. However my true heart and body clock are more that of a wild child. Iād choose to stay up all night rather than rise early. I wanted to be fresh and full of energy for this day so I forced myself to bed early in order to rise early to enjoy all the Michaelness God had in store. In mapping out our plans we decided to be on Hollywood Blvd. and in line at 5:30a.m. I needed to wake up at 3:30a.m. WHAT? <br />
<br />
So it was for this Michael adventure in the dark of night I rose and drove bleary eyed to pick up Robyn. She hopped in the car bright eyed and far too full of energy than the hour called for. Immediately we were laughing like giddy teenagers sneaking out at night. If my grand kids are reading this: "Yes, my bad... and No, donāt even think about it!" For everyone else... Yes life does come full circle. <br />
<br />
There we were up way before dawn, playing, thinking, singing, breathing
Break of Dawn. Unable to shake that feeling of āIf only Michael was here
on this earth to sing it to us.ā I have come to accept this longing,
the missing, that this empty feeling will just NEVER pass. It is part of
me now. Michaelās songs, his genius music are the continual musical
score of our lives and helps to fill that emptiness. I think there is a
Michael song for every moment and experience in life. Now Break of Dawn
plays as Michael is forever in our minds and hearts. We drive on down
the 101 Freeway on to Hollywood... Sheās Going Hollywood.<br />

We arrived in Hollywood in the still of the night. Hollywood to me is like Vegas - a place that never sleeps. So I am very surprised when entering the Kodak Theater parking structure to find the entire theater building and parking structure were basically empty with just a few scattered cars and workers here and there which allowed us the luxury I have never experienced to park where ever I wanted. The escalators were even shut off so we climbed several flights determined and committed to this day. Weaving our way through the empty Kodak building we emerged out on to an eerie Hollywood Blvd. The entire street was abandoned except for the workers and scaffolding as they set up for the ceremony. There seemed to be a haze hanging in the air as the bright lights from the crews cut into the uncharacteristic dark stillness of the night. It was an odd, sad sensation Iād never seen or felt on the normally bustling Hollywood Blvd. As I looked out over the Kodak balcony and down on to the street I froze. The sight and feeling took me short, as if all of Hollywood were giving a moment of silence for our fallen King. There it was again... that emptiness. <br />

<br />
Not wanting to land too far down the line we then quickly moved down to the corner of Highland Ave. and Hollywood Blvd. across from Ripleyās Believe It Or Not Museum, the one with the dinosaur on the roof or is that Godzilla? Anyway... there they were gathered in the dark of night. The die hard MJ fans standing in line even before 5:30 in the morning. We greeted the fans. Some we have known now for the last two and half years. Michaelās loss brought us together from all different generations, religions and races. Some are brand new MJ friends. Some have traveled from other countries and great distances to stand on this corner. We shared hugs and LOVE and took our place in line. I found myself having a very difficult time standing still, so moved up and down the line talking and mingling losing my place in line several times but I didnāt care. Today I could feel the energy in the air. The unmistakable, absolute LOVE of Michael Jackson. This was a special day I could just feel it. I had felt it for weeks. Itās a power that takes over when I just know I have to be there to support something for Michael. <br />
<br />
In the past I have risen in the wee hours many times to make the trek to the court house for the trial as one of MJās Soldiers of LOVE, raising my voice for JUSTICE for Michael, fighting for Conrat Murderer to be found GUILTY! I felt privileged and honored to do so, to be a part of JUSTICE for Michael Jackson. However this early day was different. This day was a celebration of Michael Jackson. A much different day in HIStory. This day we would witness Michaelās wish come to fruition as he would forever be immortalized with foot prints and handprints being placed in cement at Graumanās Chinese Theater. His beautiful children would be here today to accomplish this and honor their father. Yes the energy was running very high on that corner of Hollywood Blvd. as we all anticipated the day and talked excitedly about Michael. <br />

We stood in line for a while and then official looking men in suits, security, showed up and said we were there too early and needed to disperse for about 20 minutes but then could line up again. So in compliance I immediately walked to the curb. Now I could have walked anywhere but I walked over to the curb... not to the corner to cross or the other way down the sidewalk but straight to the curb. As if pre-planned at the very same moment a van pulled up in front of me and a man hopped out and approached. He looked me in the eye and asked what I felt was obvious... āAre you Michael Jackson fans?ā I looked at him confused wondering what planet he just arrived from as I laughingly looked back wondering if he saw what I saw and gestured to all the fans still in line with their fedoras, military jackets, Thriller and Bad jackets, some with hoodies on where Michaelās face was on the side of the hoods, which really took me back several times because in the wee morning hours my heart would jump as I kept feeling like Michael was looking back at me when they moved their heads, some in MJ shirts and some even with gold pants and sparkly gloves. As if we needed no explanation I questioningly said, āYessssss... we are MJ fans.ā Robyn and I shared a look and eyed him suspiciously as we both protectively wondered, āWhat does he want? Is he selling posters or t-shirts?ā Then I immediately asked, āWhy?ā <br />

I looked closer at this straw fedora, sporting man dressed in a spiffy suit and he seemed somehow familiar to me... I told him so... he smiled at me and said, āWell I am the owner of 'The Broken Heart Stoneā and I have it in the back of my van and was wondering if the MJ fans would like to see it.ā Now why I would have doubted at this point with all that has happened in my life concerning Michael Jackson I have no idea... but my next words were, āReally? Well open up so we can see.ā It was about this time I realized why he looked familiar. I had read about him and āTHEā Broken Heart Stone that MJ had made in Las Vegas at the Rivera when the hotel had plans in place to create their own walk of fame. MJ had placed his beautiful loafer adorned magical feet in the cement in a three point dance position, made his āheartā hand print in the stone and signed his name with the famous star at the end. His left hand had left a heart shape which only Michael could have done. The stone had cracked while in storage and the crack ran directly through the heart but not through the entire stone... keeping the stone intact. Robyn stood next to me, we looked again at one another, no words needed to be spoken as we both moved toward the now open back hatch of the van as if a magnetic force pulled us in. There it was lovingly covered with red velvet. We were anxious as this man, Andrew Wilson, told the fans about the stone. The excitement grew in the MJ crowd as we both stood there at the back of his van looking down on the only piece of cement in the entire world that had Michael Jacksonās actual footprints, hand print and signature embedded in it. The stone that Michael himself personally made and was very excited to show the world.<br />

<br />
We were huddled close at the back of the van as I excitedly asked, āCan we see it without the cover? Please uncover it.ā I was snapping pictures of each step. Andy, much too slowly for me, gently and carefully removed the red velvet from the stone and there in the dim light of the van was āMichaelās Broken Heart Stoneā with the amazing heart palm print, there right before my very eyes. I leaned inside the van to get a closer look. For sometime after that moment it all seemed to move in slow motion, feeling alone and yet in a crowd as I heard in what seemed to be the distance, but later realized was right behind me, the high pitch sound of fans squealing, buzzing and laughing in high anticipation and pressing in. I felt the force of the fans pushing against me from behind so I leaned in further and asked in awe and respect, āCan we touch it?ā Andy who was now standing at the side door looking in at us crazy fans smiled and verbally released the onslaught with an āOf course!ā So I literally crawled up into the van and touched Michaelās shoe prints. I could hear Robyn laughing near me to my left and then saw her hand with the sweet turquoise nails reach out and tenderly touch Michaelās hand print. My heart paused and I took a deep breath as I knew exactly what she was thinking and feeling in that moment, Speechless. I then stretched my fingers out over the handprint of MJās fingers visualizing in my mind his long fingers against mine. His hand had been there where mine now rested... I didnāt want to leave that spot. <br />
<br />
I lost my balance as the force of the fans suddenly pushing in landed me on top of the stone. I was literally laying on top of the stone! It seemed the place for me to be somehow. So I took full advantage of my position thinking, āWell Iām here now... I might as well touch every area of Michaelās fabulous three point, dancerās pose, loafer, shoe prints.ā So I ran my hands over every single inch of the foot prints and his beautiful signature, even the special star burst at the end, all the while laying on my stomach with my feet dangling out the back of the van as MJ fans crowded around me. In my mind I was alone there with Michael while he painstakingly signed his name in the wet cement. I could see his beautiful face and his hand moving slowly deliberately as he signed his name and drew the final flourish of the star burst at the end. <br />
<br />
The clamoring and screeching of the fans burst my bubble and I reluctantly had to release my hold on the stone to let others have a look and a touch. I tried to move but the press of the fans made it almost impossible. Pushing against the flow I put my head down and forged out backwards through the crowd asking, āHey guys please let me out.ā Literally crawling backwards I popped out of the back of the van and landed on my feet, found my bearings on the solid ground once again. Then began immediately talking with Andy who had come around to meet us as the other fans moved in to get their look. I knew who he was now and wanted to know more as I just knew he had a wonderful story to tell... and anyone who knows me knows how I simply LOVE a Michael Jackson story, my Best Of Joy. Yes, God knows the desires of our hearts. <br />
<br />
In our conversation I learned that by Godās divine intervention Andy first became aware of the existence of The Broken Heart Stone the day that Michael died. The stone many thought was lost forever until it was discovered stored in the basement of the Rivera Hotel in Las Vegas not long before it was demolished. An amazing story of Godās hand and direction on Andyās life as God chose him to deliver this wonderful gift, āthe most famous hand print in entertainment historyā rightfully to the Jackson family and so doing also blessed Michael Jackson fans. Andy shared he had heard of La Toyaās story of Paris sharing the broken heart necklace with her daddy. As shared by La Toya she went with Paris and purchased a broken heart and two necklace chains. One for Paris and one for her daddy, each having one half of the broken heart. One Paris wrapped around her daddyās wrist and the other she kept. It was this story that motivated Andy to realize that the Jackson family MUST have the stone. God bless you Andrew Wilson for following Godās leading and your heart of LOVE for Michael and his children.<br />

Clearly even the police are MJ fans at heart, stood in awe, interested and enthralled by The Broken Heart Stone. <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
This day was a marvelous, high spirited
celebration of LOVE for Michael. Tito and Jackie Jackson
acknowledged Andrew and Dawn Wilson for making the stone available to
the Jackson family. In this statement The Broken Heart Stone was
publicly back in the hands of those who deserved to have it the most,
Michaelās children and the Jackson family. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
The celebration that day was beautiful. It was just so touching to see Michaelās children so happy. I just know Michael is looking down from heaven and is so proud of them. They are all three just beautiful
examples of his amazing parenting skills. Their confidence and respect for their father and the enormous glowing smiles lit up the childrenās faces and the stage just as their father used to. <br />
<br />
MJ fans have always known it was Michaelās desire to have his
footprints and handprints in the cement at Graumanās, his beautiful
children proudly and gratefully confirmed this during the ceremony, and
God used Andrew Wilson and his lovely wife, Dawn, to make this happen.
Andy shared that only the day before the ceremony the contract had
been finalized and signed. Leaving frantic last minute arrangements to
deliver the Broken Heart Stone to Graumanās Chinese Theater for the 'Immortalization of Michael Jackson in the Hand and Footprint Ceremony'. <br />
<br />
It
was later in talking to John Branca at the MJIWT Los Angeles premier at
Staples that I learned that the negotiations to garner 'The Broken Heart
Stone' for the Jackson family on this special day had gone on for almost
a year and he felt very happy negotiantions had been finalized in time for the
ceremony and that every one was happy with the end result. Michael
Jackson fans around the world can thank John
Branca and Howard Weitzman for their loving commitment and hard work to Michael and his
family which enabled this wonderful piece of Michael HIStory to go
public. </div>

If you look carefully you can see the image of a fedora above the studded glove imprint in the wet cement. <br />

So like Michael to be there with his children <i>and</i> to make some magic.</div>

Paris fittingly writes her
father's name with a heart in the middle, 'Michael ā„ Jackson.' Watching
her at the ceremony write her father's name in the cement I see
Michael in so many ways, with all three I see Michael, but here on this
day I see Michael in 1984 on his knee writing his name so carefully in
the cement. <br />

Fans from around the globe can now visit Graumanās and touch a piece of Michaelās heart and history. Itās a beautiful thing! So fittingly and assuredly the most important element to Michael, as we were always so accustomed to seeing, was Michael holding hands with his children. Michaelās stone sits right next to his children's hand print stone. All their hands forever immortalized connected For All Time.<br />

Michaelās original star, the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star, with the Broken Heart Stone in the background awaiting it's presentation. The original MJ Hollywood Star where not long after Michael had received it and while in the process of writing his book 'Moonwalker' was riding in a car down busy Hollywood Blvd. with one of the editors discussing his book when suddenly he asked the driver to pull over and stop the car. He jumped out did one of his famous spins and dance moves, sang a short bit of a song and then jumped back in the car giggling and laughing as they drove away. You can read this story in the editor's notes of 'Moonwalker'. <br />

Michael lived in and called the Hayvenhurst compound in the San Fernando Valley (SFV) home for many years. This bustling valley which is just northwest of Hollywood lays conveniently just over the hill from the Hollywood and Beverly Hills sound studios where he spent much time creating his master pieces. Michael also owned a condo close by Hayvenhurst which he used as a safe and private getaway, a place to store some of his ever growing art and sculpture collection, business and friend meetings and sometimes met media for an interview in the condo. In addition he established a business office for MJJ Productions near by Hayvenhurst on Ventura Blvd. He worked, shopped, visited the local Barnes and Noble book store, doctor and dentist in the SFV, and walked his pet llama on the streets of SFV... all those everyday, normal things that we do... well except walk our pet llamas. He also created his magic in the Hayvenhurst compound recording studio he had specially built. He choreographed parts of the infamous Billie Jean dance routine in the kitchen of Hayvenhurst before the 30th Motown Anniversary TV show and he wrote Liberian Girl in the home studio, after playing pinball upstairs in his room and becoming inspired raced down to the recording studio to write the song. So much MJ history happened in the San Fernando Valley that it is so very fitting that the Smooth Criminal Mural be installed in a prime location of the SFV. The chosen display wall of the Courtyard Marriott Hotel faces the 405 freeway as you enter SFV from the south. In this prime location MJ's mural will be seen daily by over 330,000 cars coming and going each rush hour... morning and night. <br />

āØāØJust in time for the kick off of MJ Tribute week in June the MJ fans were graciously invited to the soft opening of Kentās MJ mural on June 19, 2015 at <span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The Museum of The San Fernando Valley</span>. Among the other art work from valley museum members and historic pictures from other Hollywood celebrities who also lived in the SFV over the past decades portions of MJās mural now hold a prime spot. Here you are able to see up close the incredible dot detail of the mural which when you step back gives the look and feel of a photograph. <br />
<br />
Can You Feel It? Museum attendees and staff experienced the joy of MJ fans listening to Michaelās music as we gathered for a group photo but instead broke into a spontaneous expression of joy when MJās music began to play and we automatically began to dance and sing along.<br />
<b><br /><br />ā„ MJ Glittery Tattoo Meet and Greet 2015:</b>āØāØ<br />
<br />
Also during the kick off for June 2015 MJ Tribute Week the MJFSC fans were very honored to have Kent Twitchell attend the MJ Glittery Tattoo Meet and Greet 2015 on June 21st at the Universal Sheraton. Kent kindly sat with us and shared stories about the creation of the mural and working with Michael. āØāØ <br />

Michael and Kent met at Kent's warehouse studio and Michaelās condo among other places to work on this mural. In speaking with Kent he shared that the two mulled over many different themes for the mural and when Kent suggested the '20s mobster theme Michael just loved it, his eyes lit up and he became very excited suggesting the Smooth Criminal suit. Kent confirmed and felt that the white, Smooth Criminal suit would work perfectly. The contrast with the white suit, Michael's skin tone and the many colors of blue including the azure blue California sky would really make the mural pop. As with all things MJ he wanted to make a huge statement and impact, so vivid, bright colors where chosen to contrast with the white suit. Michael and Kent personally created exclusive, MJ mural paint colors. These unique and vivid, one of a kind, paint colors were created in New York and cannot be seen anywhere else in the world... vivid blues, skin tone colors and whites special ordered under lock and key. Paint colors exclusive only to MJ and will always remain so as MJ holds the rights still today. Also Kent shared that after the installation is complete on the Courtyard Marriott Hotel wall there will be a very special, strong sealant applied which will protect the mural from smog, weather and general wear. This very same sealant was applied to Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel artwork in Italy after their recent restorations. Also the bottom of the mural will hit the top of the second floor which will also protect and keep it out of reach from vandalism. <br />
<br />
All of Kent's murals are created from photos so several meetings took place
over a span of five years, spending many hours creating together, brain storming, holding
photo shoots, discussing the creation and presentation, and what building would be best suited for the mural. Kent rode with
Michael in MJās car several times traveling around the SFV, Hollywood, Los Angeles
areas looking for the right building or just going out to eat... and yes Michael drove and
according to Kent did a fine job of driving. Ultimately they chose the
side of the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood just across the street and down a bit from MJās
Hollywood Star. This plan as we now know never came to fruition.āØāØ I am a person who believes everything happens for a reason... so maybe the final installation place was meant to be in an even more advantageous place?<br />
<br />
Kent's respect for Michael shown clearly as he
told me how Michael always made everyone who worked for him feel like HE
was the one working for them, always concerned if they were comfortable or needed anything, never raising his voice and always saying
please and thank you. He affirmed what so many who knew Michael have shared, that Michael was the kindest person he had ever
met and was always so considerate of those around him asking over and
over what he could do for them, always asking did they need him to do
anything else. Fondly smiling Kent revealed that Michael had told him he
envisioned himself as a sort of modern day P.T. Barnum. <br />
<br />
Michael invited Kent to stay in the cottage at Neverland. At Neverland they spent many hours working on the creation of the mural or just talking and relaxing on the grounds. They both shared a deep love of classical music... another reason why Michael and Kent must have hit it off so well. Not only is Kent like Michael a kind, considerate, gentle human being but also he like Michael appreciates the beauty of classical music. Kent fondly recounted that at Neverland you could hear music everywhere. Michael had classical music playing for him inside and out, surrounding them everywhere, as it came out of the rocks and trees... and even the rides. <br />

It was fascinating to learn from Kent that the original mural installation would have included one of MJ's personally, conjured up state of the art special affects. Michael had requested a special cloud making machine which would have created a smoke affect coming up from MJ's feet. Although on the Hollywood site it would have been an incredible special affect this will not be possible with the new installation... yes I asked. ;) However there is going to be one unintentional added affect with the Courtyard Marriott installation. On the side of the building is an elevator shaft, the wall needs to be flat to install the mural, so plans are in process for construction of wedges to be inserted along each side of the shaft on the outside of the building. This will create a slightly convex, curved feel when the mural is installed. This slight curve will hopefully create a feeling of MJ pushing his chest out.<br />

<b><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></b> <i><b><span style="color: #660000;">"I'll forever be counting backwards from June 25th, 2009" ~ Betty Byrnes</span></b></i><br />
<br />
How many times in your life can you say the world stopped? As humans we tend to mark time with these moments... and most are made of joy or grief. I for one, like many others I'm sure, track time with meaningful events in my life. The joyful moments of the birth of my children or grandchildren... are the very Best of Joy.<span class="subject" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432068210892_16000" title="Here Comes the Sun ā - Swimwear Starting at $13"> ā </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />There are those moments in time too where an event takes place and the entire world stops as they process... moments that will forever mark History. The assassination of President Kennedy, then Martin Luther King... and then Bobby Kennedy... the death of Lady Diana... tragic, monumental moments creating right and left turns in history... changing the world forever. These people whose passing changed our lives so greatly the vast majority of society did not personally know them; yet the bond we felt was a tangible thing. We admired and followed them and looked to them to guide us and point the way toward a better version of ourselves and of this world. <br /><br />Tracking time in a lifespan capsule... truly important events over time seem to never be forgotten, yet the actual date will fade from memory. I tend to remember only the emotion, smells, sights, feelings from that moment in history. However when Michael Jackson died... that date... that moment when the news spread like wild fire around the world... it seemed as though the axis of this planet earth, shifted... every nation stopped in disbelief... trying to process the news. It was surreal. Yes the axis of earth seemed to shift and definitely the axis of my life shifted... paradigms shifted as life forever changed for me. <br /><br />Michael Jackson, an old soul, had the ability at a very early age, over his entire career, and still today even after his passing via his music and artistry to reach into the psyche, soul and heart of a person... to places where most musicians and artists, if they are very good, only scratch the surface. He could reach into the collective heart of an arena filled with 100,000+ people and move them like no other, hold them captive with his magical touch. In history to this day his performance ability is unparalleled. His love for this planet and all the people on it regardless of race, creed or nationality was all encompassing. In the highest sense of the word he was a true humanitarian from a very early age, an instrument of peace in a dark and dreary world. His music infused with God given energy still today inspires, brings change and love into this world. He shared his lifetime moments via his music, expressing angst, love, frustration or awe, wonder and joy. He made it possible for us all to vent our pain or share our love as we experienced MJ's music... it is like we knew him... truly knew him. His art, his music and his love for this world is timeless. <br /><span style="color: #660000;"><i><b><br />"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou</b></i></span><br /><br />An inexplicable need to write came over me only weeks after Micheal's death. He had touched my heart and life on so many levels. I felt guilt and remorse over how he had been treated and maligned in this world. I was truly blessed with time for my parents before they passed to their heavenly home. I gratefully spent many days and months with them sharing about our lives together... laughing, crying, talking things through, sometimes arguing as families do, sometimes just sitting in silence with nothing needing to be said. I was able to say my long goodbyes to both my mother and my father... express love to them, hug them, kiss them and hold no regrets. When Michael Jackson passed I was shocked to feel although I didn't know him his death affected me as if he were a family member... only sadly there were so many regrets. What had I missed? Why had I not prayed more for him? Who else in my life had I ignored when they needed me most? In reality I knew as a regular average human on this planet I'd never have been able to known the super star MJ on a personal level... yet at the very least I could have prayed more, listened more, kept an ear tuned to the needs of others. I felt I had failed him... the world had failed him. <br /><br />Yes my life stopped along with the world's on June 25th, 2009... yet unlike any other time in history the world joined together and collectively poured out their hearts and grief over the loss of this mega-star, albeit a human being with a heart of gold. This artist who literally believed that 'his' children were ALL the children of the world and literally took that burden on in his life... to Heal The World. The study of Michael Jackson's altruistic givings is a massive undertaking and extends itself to every continent and nation on this planet. He was a special human being led by his love of God and the human race. And God had imparted to Michael an enormous amount of talent and artistry... more than any other human could endure or encompass... for it was God's portion just for Michael Jackson. By his own admission his musicality, artistry and creativity NEVER stopped. It was both a blessing and curse when it came to sleep which led to chronic insomnia. <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Not long after his death it seemed this gigantic slice of creativity which Michael embodied was bequeathed over the masses he left behind. It seemed as though like a sparkly, sprinkling of artistic fairy dust entered our lives... so many found a new desire to sing, write, dance, draw, paint.... create. We were drawn together on social media forums sharing this new found desire to express ourselves. For me the deep desire to write encompassed my every waking moment. I found myself grabbing little papers and napkins which led to notebooks and scribbling down words, phrases and sentences that suddenly were in my head... I had to get them out... write them down and express myself. It felt as if I didn't voice what was filling my mind and heart I'd burst. I'd never experienced anything like it in my life. Like an assignment from God it had to be expressed... once a story or writing began I'd not stop... could not sleep until I felt it was finished which led to days and nights with no sleep. Was this a thimble full of what Michael Jackson must have felt in his life? <br /><br />All I knew is I had to write. The words the stories were flowing in my veins. The end result was this blog, 'Michael's Heart'. Through this blog and Social Media I've connected and bonded with people, soul mates, from around the globe. My tiny life which previously for many decades consisted of church, children, work and home became this vast canvas of languages, cultures and friends from around the world. We were one! Fulfilling a life long dream of Michael's to bring the world together in LOVE. No matter our nationality... we were the same... our love for Michael and his music and all he gave this world was the glue that pieced together our broken hearts. Is this a thimble full of what Michael felt? </span><br />

<b><span style="color: #660000;">The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.<br />- Rabindranath Tagore</span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />In the process of writing my blog after Michael's death a sweet memory from my childhood came back to me... would not leave me. Like a distant knocking on a long closed door... it became louder and louder with each passing day. Once I acknowledged the memory and allowed it a stage on my heart the flood gates opened. I soon found that Michael's sprinkling of creativity had opened the door to my childhood. His gift to me opened a place I felt was inconsequential in the larger scheme of things. Life had dished large portions of difficult circumstances which I'd learned to navigate and survive. For me looking back at the decades past had been a waste of time... for after all you can not go back... so why waste your time? Like a warrior I kept my eyes and mind focused forward always vigilant for the next onslaught to come my way. Being a realist of sorts I grew to believe you must deal with what was in front of you... survival is putting one foot in front of the other and praying to get to the other side of pain... and there had been voluminous amounts of pain in my life. So why look back? <br /><br />The surprise here for me since Michael's sprinkling over my life was I simply had no choice. Just as he had no choice over expressing the massive amount of talent God had served him. He was who he was. He needed to create art of all sorts and styles to be all God created him to be. I too had to write these memories down... for what reason I may never know... but I had no choice. However, I do know the blessed inspiration was from God and Michael Jackson. The result was a book filled with memories of a childhood I'd long forgotten. In the beginning I felt I needed to share it for my children and grandchildren. It became my mission in my own way of completing of my father's memoirs of his time as the first Manager of NASA in Houston, Texas, to relay the family legacy of strength and brilliance my father left us. However as I delved into the memories over taking me... I realized maybe it was just for me and for Michael? Or maybe for all of us? Finally I just stopped questioning. I've learned there needs to be no real reason to convey the creativity bursting forth, needing to be expressed... Just Do It! God knows the reasons... the results are in His hands!<br /><br />This expression has been the most cathartic and healing excursion through my early childhood. Did I expose myself? Yes. Did I have trepidation over that exposure of such personal memories? Yes. Yet ... for me, for my dad... for my future... here it is serving as a crystal clear light into my future. For today I do not exist to survive, waiting for each new calamitous happening to arrive. Today because I was given this panoramic view into my past... I live... in the now... with joy in my heart. <br /><br />If you decide to read Moon Child: Growing Up NASA and I hope you do as I absolutely LOVE to share it... I do really hope you enjoy it. You will hopefully feel transported with me to another place in history... the 1960s and '70s. An exciting yet simpler place where the Space Race was at the forefront of our lives and family togetherness took prevalence over all. Before computers and cell phones, when children played out side and were called to dinner, where entire families sat at the dinner table every night for a fully rounded, home cooked meal. Where the primary form of communication was the art of letter writing and the rare long distance phone call was made only for family emergencies through a long distance operator. People were closer... communities smaller and people on the street talked to one another. Children could play freely in the city and take bus rides alone into town. Black and White tube TV had just taken it's place in every middle class home in America... and a new age had begun. </span><br />

The irrefutable TRUTH... about his love for children... hopefully an illuminating look into Michael's Heart. <br /><br />The main subject here was originally posted not long after Michael's death by a now grown child, the personal recipient of MJ's healing love. I remember reading the post on a comment thread on Oprah's website with tears running down my face, sobbing and praying to God that Oprah, who was one of the those in the army from Hollywood and the media that relentlessly attacked MJ's character with aspersions toward his manhood, relationships, sexual orientation and relationship to children... always leaving the implied thought of something perverse hanging in the air. I remember praying and hoping Oprah would read the post and feel deep remorse and regret over her part in the defamation of his character. I continue to pray for those spreading hate and lies about this man... a gentleman... in fact the perfect epitome of a 'gentle' man... whose love for this world, still today almost six years after his death, out weighs all their hate and jealousy. <br /><br /><b>"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." ~ Adolf Hitler</b></span></span><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption"><br /><br />In spite of crippling emotional pain from media inflicted slander, and betrayal of those lusting after the almighty dollar Michael Jackson walked as the Bible taught him. I am not saying Michael was like God or is God. I know some MJ fans literally take it too far. I truly believe that Michael would be revoltingly appalled knowing that some of his fan base actually pray TO him. He continually pointed to God, our creator, as his source... sharing many times all of his blessings, inspiration and abilities came directly from God. He never took credit... always pointing above to his heavenly Father. The reality is that Michael read the Bible on a regular basis. This fact has been shared by those who spent time with him... who personally knew him. I'm sure he'd smile down from heaven and love it if those praying to him today would get out the Bible and start reading it daily and taking it to heart as he did... instead of praying to him.... instead just go directly to the source he worshiped. He was a human being who practiced what the Bible teaches to the best of his ability, which for most of us was far beyond what we could ever comprehend or have accomplished. Given the opportunity to step into his 'loafers' and live his life I dare say not anyone on this planet could have ever lived so fully or with such graciousness and love.<br /><br /><b>"With just a little love and a little caring, I have seen kids totally turn around. Where you can't find any cancer at all anymore in their body. I've done it a lot of times. I'm not trying to say I'm Jesus Christ.

<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">No matter the defamation or hate thrust at Michael he could not help but be his quintessential self... and this essential God given nature </span></span>was all about Peace and Love. Albeit he perfected and mastered music and dance as it filled his every pore and brain cell 24 hours a day; Michael physically embodied LOVE, sharing this God given anointed treasure with those around him at every turn. He reached out to the sick and needy everywhere... and those needy were not just children from around the world but also the elderly, entire families, communities, charities, hospitals, the environment and this planet. In fact according to Elizabeth Taylor he gave far too much of himself away... to his own detriment. This is what the media and greedy in Hollywood who clawed to become rich and famous hated and resented about Michael... not only his massive success but his humble, caring character.... for evil and darkness hate the light of love and Michael Jackson truly <span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">actualized LOVE in all he did. </span></span>The worldwide bullying of Michael Jackson is unprecedented to this day and yet never once did he retaliate... this is just something those inflicting that abuse could not understand.... for evil will never understand love. <br />
<br />
<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">Sadly there are those in this world so tainted their blurred
view of life perceives all goodness as nefarious and malicious. This is a
prime example of how Michael Jackson was just too good... too
loving... for this evil world. Those twisted by greed, jealousy and
worship of the almighty dollar and/or lust for fame twisted Michael's association with
children. Ironically what these tainted minds are unable to comprehend is that
because of people like them Michael was most at peace with children who
wanted NOTHING from him. There was nothing nefarious in his motives... just a wish to gain back a bit of his lost childhood and to spend time with humans who held no ulterior motives, wanted nothing from him and viewed him as just a fun person to be around. <br /><br />Please read this truth and share it with anyone who believes the media lies spread about Michael Jackson. Although there are many who will refuse to believe nothing but the slander... all I can say to that is... some have permanent blinders on... refuse to open their minds to anything but hate... for that... well... you just can't fix stupid. In that instance... all you can do is share the truth then knock the dust from your sandals and move on. <br /><br />For those who have truly experienced sexual abuse or abuse of any kind my heart goes out to you. I too have experienced this trauma and know others who have suffered the same. For me these disingenuous statements about abuse only prove to make a mockery of those who have truly suffered... and reiterate the fear of coming forward. I'm unable to express in words the massive anger I feel toward those making false allegations about child abuse for monetary gain. It is absolutely as abhorrently evil as the crime against the child. </span></span><br />

It has been shared by those who knew Michael including his family that
in Michael's mind he believed that all the children of the world were 'his' children... and that he could truly change the world.... and that he did!! </span></span>There are many accounts like the one below by 'Swiftheart' from children and families around the globe who actually met Michael and experienced his giving, caring, beautiful heart of LOVE and his deep desire to heal the world, especially the children. <br /><br />As I find these accounts I will add them to this blog post.... to get the truth out there because even today... six years after his death there are still those lying about Michael Jackson for monetary profit. It's much easier to sue Michael Jackson or his estate, hoping for a huge settlement rather than work an honest job. Or there are those who launched so called 'news' careers by spreading slander about Michael. Most of these repugnant individuals have fallen by the wayside. Karma dishing out it's just rewards on them as we, thankfully, rarely hear from them anymore. If only that could have happened while Michael was alive... but then most assuredly he is freely and happily dancing in his heavenly bliss and doesn't even give them the slightest Billie Jean fedora nod. They in the end as with all hate and lies... are absolutely meaningless in the bigger picture of all that Michael Jackson gave to this world. <br /><br /><b>"He was just so genuine and so warm and so caring.

The fact that the father of the original accuser committed suicide after Michael's death and the boy forced to say those things against Michael by his parents so they could garner a rancid $20 million removed himself from their care... is no where touted in the media. They do not share that the boy sickened by his parents actions gained full emancipation from both his parents and his step father as soon as possible and has since denied Michael Jackson ever molested him. Nor today will you read about the back story of these sad 'out of work' choreographer/dancers/singers whose bitterness and greed expose their motives and belie all accusations they have made against Michael Jackson. It only takes a bit of research into the character of these accusers and the trail of failures in their careers, which over the years relied heavily on Michael's propping them up, to see the motives behind their lies. After Michael's death those who banked on any sort of income from association with MJ or from hanging on to his coattails over the years have suffered. The free ride has come to an abrupt halt for those who depended on association with Michael as career flotation in the entertainment industry, and there are many. If they had not over the years worked to build their own careers based on real talent, built on their own merits... if they had not learned the needed lessons from Michael's incredible work ethic and example... then with his death their careers and lives took a catastrophic dive into oblivion. They scrambled after his death to garner spots with the MJ Estate based MJ shows and were found lacking, did not fit the bill, or measure up to the task, coincidentally after this bitter rejection was when they vindictively made a desperate last minute move and conjure up the false stories about Michael Jackson molesting them. Clearly if they can't work with the MJ Estate then they will sue them! I will not delve into the names of these unscrupulous, desperate people or the accusations still being made against Michael. I will not give them power here... evil and deception will not be given a place on this site. Shared here... only the truth of Michael's Heart. <br /><br />Truth always wins... Michael shared this message as he rose up and walked with dignity and continued to LOVE children globally as Jesus told us to LOVE. May each of us by Michael Jackson's example of Jesus' love for the world and... especially the children help us to strive to be more like him in all we do. <br /><br />May he rest in peace and may truth continue to be his vindicator! </span></span><br />

<i>I was diagnosed with a rare form of child bone cancer in 2000 at the
age of fifteen. I was to start chemo therapy in August of that year. Not
many people know this but Michael opened up Neverland several times
each year for anyone to come<span class="text_exposed_show"> and enjoy
the park. Everything was free. Rides, games, food. A friend of mine who
was a regular at Neverland called me one night and told me the park was
going to be open for two weeks at the beginning of August that year. I
asked my parents if they would take me the week before I was scheduled
to start chemo. My doctors all advised against saying they feared I was
too weak but I eventually talked my parents in to it. We had to drive
what seemed like several miles after we went through the front gates of
Neverland to get to where the actual park was with the rides. As we were
driving down the winding road something came over me that I can't
explain to this day. It was almost a feeling of peace.<br /> <br /> When my
family and I stepped out of the car we weren't sure if we should check
in with someone or really what to do. A man finally walked over to us
and introduced himself and then explained to my parents how everything
worked. We signed in with our names and other information and were given
matching wrist bands and told we could ride anything we wanted, eat
anything we wanted, play any of the games, etc. The man mentioned that
on occasion Michael would come outside and say hello to everyone there.
My parents thanked the man and within minutes I was at the top of the
ferris wheel with my Dad. We rode it three times in a row and then it
was on to the swings. We rode the rides for hours before getting in line
to get some cotton candy and popcorn. As we sat down at a table with
our snacks we noticed a crowd of children running all in one direction. I
stood up on the seat of the table we were at but couldn't see anything.
Several minutes later the crowd began moving towards us and it was then
that I saw Michael. Standing under a huge umbrella and laughing as
children were pulling at his arms, legs, and hugging him.<br /><br /> My Mom
then grabbed my hand and we made our way over to him. We introduced
ourselves and my Mom told him what a wonderful time we were having. She
then told him about my cancer and that I would be starting chemo the
next week. When she said that Michael put one hand on my head and said,
"God Bless you." When he touched me I felt the same feeling of peace and
comfort that I did as I had when we drove through the gates of
Neverland. He stood there and talked to us for a couple more minutes and
then he left. I continued riding rides with my family and the other
children but I couldn't stop thinking about meeting him. As we were
leaving that night the man who we spoke to when we arrived stopped my
dad and handed him a note. The note was from Michael and it was inviting
the three of us to have dinner with him. Without hesitation my Dad
accepted the invitation and the man then directed us to through another
gate which led to the main house. I was surprised once we were in front
of the house. I expected it to be this huge mansion but it wasn't. It
wasn't small but it certainly wasn't huge. Several people who worked for
him greeted us when we pulled up outside. We had dinner with Michael
and his children that night and to this day it was the best night of my
life. After dinner he asked my parents if it would be ok if he prayed
with us and of course they said yes. I had never and still to this day
have never heard anyone pray the way he did. At fifteen years old it
made me cry<br /> <br /> After he finished praying I opened my eyes and
looked to each of my parents who were in tears as well. Michael was
gracious enough to give us a tour of some of the things were weren't
able to see earlier in the day. He showed us the arcade and the movie
theatre. The movie theatre at Neverland was not your typical theatre.
Not only were there seats like a real theatre, there were also beds for
the children who were too sick to sit up. After showing us around we
said goodbye to Michael and thanked him for everything. Imagine my
Mother's surprise when she received a call from him several days later!
We assumed he had obtained our number from the sign in sheet that we
filled out upon arriving at Neverland. He asked her how I was doing and
she told him I would begin chemo on Monday. He then gave her a number in
which to reach him directly and asked her to please call him and let
him know how I was doing around the middle of the week. She agreed. I
went that Monday morning to the hospital prepared to begin chemo. When
the doctor walked in the room he asked both of my parents to sit down.
The three of us feared he was going to say the cancer had spread. They
had run blood work and some more scans on me two days prior which is
typical prior to beginning treatment. When the doctor began to speak he
looked at my parents and said, "I don't know how to tell you this. I
don't know how to explain this but Danielle no longer has cancer. There
are no signs of it on any of the scans we just took." <br /><br /> My Mom, my
Dad, and I sat there and just stared at him and finally my Mom burst in
to tears. We left the hospital and the first thing my Mom did when we
got home was call Michael. I was embarrassed because she was crying on
the phone but then she handed the phone to me to speak to him and it was
obvious he had been crying as well. Through the years Michael remained
in touch with my family and would call us several times a year on the
phone to say hello. He would sometimes send us gifts and cards. I have
been cancer free for ten years now. I can't explain what happened when I
went to Neverland. It's defies explanation. I want people to know that I
am not the only one who visited Neverland very sick only to become well
after my visit. There are hundreds, if not thousands of us. Our stories
were never made public because Michael didn't want that. He was a
wonderful man. I have never met anyone who cared so deeply about not
just children but people in general.</span></i></span></span></b></span></span><br />

Beautiful Elizabeth Taylor speaks about her treasured friend, Michael Jackson, and his true character. How he gave so much to this world... to the point of hurting himself. She speaks of the anonymous help and charity given to so many and how even the receivers many times did not know the help came from Michael Jackson.

was our special guest and it was such a pleasure meeting and talking
with him about his time with Michael. His respect and appreciation for
Michael as a person and an artist is enormous. He kindly sat with the MJ
fans and answered questions and shared about his experience working
with Michael and his time at Neverland while they worked together to
create the Smooth Criminal mural. Thank you so much Kent. <br /> <br /> We
are all looking forward to seeing this incredible mural installed on the
wall facing the 405 freeway at the Courtyard Marriott. It will be a day
to celebrate!!</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Please take a look at the photos from the event... <br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10207119447367410.1073741906.1318489535&type=1&l=21a33cc5e8">https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10207119447367410.1073741906.1318489535&type=1&l=21a33cc5e8</a></span></span></h2>

<br />
I've been unable to write for months... ever since June 2014. I was not snubbing anyone... or disappearing from the MJ world... just quiet.<br />
<br />
After Michael Jackson left this earth for his heavenly home, suddenly and unexpectedly I became filled... overflowing with words, phrases and thoughts that just HAD to be written down... NEEDED to be written and shared. Iād never been a āwriterā and canāt say that I am now... really. However the jolting, shocking grief that over came me in the days, weeks and months that followed the loss of MJ also filled me with an inexplicable compulsion to write. I felt I simply MUST write or burst.... express my inner soul. āØ<br />
<br />
As I began to share my writings I realized I was not the only person filled with the desire to share about MJ in some creative way. All over this planet MJ fans were expressing themselves and still are. In fact it was as if Michael as he left this earth sprinkled a bit of his Tinkerbell Fairy dust over many of us sharing a bit of the massive creativity that once filled him on this earth.... with millions of us. Giving us a final gift of love and art... filling us with a huge creative urge to express ourselves. It has been an enormous blessing for me... an outlet... my healing process. āØāØ<br />

June 25, 2014 marked the fifth year of Michaelās death. MJ fans have gathered every year at Forest Lawn to pay tribute and respect to Michael on this day in June. This year was no different. Yet I was different. That grief that hit me on June 25, 2009 like a semi truck had only grown to become like a roaring freight train in my life. Yet now Iām changed... the train has slowed to a livable pace... is drifting now. Grief is a process. āØ<br />
<br />
I personally have been so blessed. I live in Southern California and am able to visit so many Michael places... Michaeling. Connected... following in his footsteps... researching... learning... feeling and touching and experiencing MJās HIStory in a tactile way. Although most of those places have now become less exciting and more like everyday to me... I still simply love to see the faces of those I take around to experience the Michaeling adventure. Itās like watching the joy of a young child as they learn something new and their eyes light up... like experiencing the magical beauty and flutter of a butterfly for the first time. āØāØ<br />
<br />
Yet why have I been blocked... why is there NOTHING when I sit down to write? I always wondered how long this gift would last... always asking the Lord... āIs it over now ?ā Maybe. Why then? June was packed full of beautiful friends, events, celebrations of LOVE and Michaelās life. All the things I love to share... taking others along for the ride. It truly was amazing!! Yet I was stymied for words.āØāØ<br />
<br />
Then today... I heard a clip which Iād heard for the first time at Brad Sundbergās Homecoming: In The Studio with MJ Seminar at Westlake Studios on June 25th. The MOST incredible video Iāve EVER seen of Michael. He is in a N.Y. studio... inside a glass sound booth with just headphones... no costume... no make up. In his typical red shirt and black pants and fedora... singing... creating... recording and absolutely nailing it like NO one else could. Outside the booth is a the full orchestra... in the background you can hear the children laughing and talking from the video. The song: āHave You Seen My Childhood?ā The clip of the audio on YT was not taped on the up and up by a fan while attending the seminar as all cameras, phones etc. were suppose to be handed over and stored until after the seminar. Yet... I was suppose to hear this song... AGAIN. So I feel extremely blessed to have experienced it in June. It was another life changing moment for me. This clearly unauthorized taping of the audio from the seminar video jolted me... AGAIN... as on the day I first saw and heard it. āØāØMichael had/has that ability with his voice to spark fires in the souls of men and women without even being in their presence. This God given gift touches deep down inside. There are no words for it. It is just simply spiritually anointed.<br />
<br />
That video... that experience seeing and hearing it on studio speakers as if Michael was in the room with you... the heaven on earth look of sheer utter joy on MJās face as he leaps into the air with perfectionist satisfaction at having nailed it perfectly in one take... there are no words for that. Inexplicable... so why try? So I couldn't even write about it... until today. <br />
<br />
The massive numbers of MJ fans from all over the world descended on L.A. in joy and love in remembrance of the most incredible soul God blessed us with for too short a time on this earth. So many in fact that events I planned and others planned were so packed there was not enough room for everyone. It was simply overwhelming... no words would come. <br />

<br />
Things change... people change... hopefully we grow. My hope is that I grow... never stay stagnant in life... especially spiritually. I want to take what Michael gave the world... has taught me personally by his example in the incredible, multilayered life he lived and use it in a positive way... share it in LOVE. Iāve learned so much from Michael. He was and still is an amazing teacher and inspiration in my life. He always pointed to God... to Jesus... emulated Jesus. He was a human being with human frailties and character flaws like all humans. He was not... IS not God. I feel so sad for those who pray ātoā Michael... for they do not know the utter joy, strength and graceful miraculous touch of the true God that Michael loved in their lives. The one who gifted him and was his source. <br />
<br />
āØI once knew an incredible man... he was a member of Alcoholic Anonymous
and about 70 at the time... this was about 30 years ago so Iām sure he
has gone to his heavenly home by now. He was the most brilliant
scientist and I still can't even believe I... this lowly soul... ever had the privilege of knowing him. A Nobel
Prize winner... yet he sat in murky, candle lit rooms while struggling
alcoholics like himself bared their souls in order to hold onto dignity
in life and sobriety. A genius of a man, large in stature with a kind
face and spirit, a soft spoken, gentle man with deep strength. I will
never forget... as I was searching for meaning and direction in my life
via astrology at the time and prattled on about how my horoscope said...
but wow my day didnāt go that way... I was baby sitting my friendās
bird while she was on vacation and it died... I killed it somehow (I
thought at the time I did)... so what is up with that?... Blah Blah
Blah... sharing a 'I want to crawl under a rock type feeling'. After the
meeting he came to me and gently took me by the arm... looked deep into
my eyes and succinctly said, āWhy not go directly to the source who
made the stars and look to Him for your answers? <b>There</b> is your real power.ā Words that changed me forever. āØāØ<br />

<br />
God brings us people to speak to us... to guide us... to help us on our journey. He uses the most unexpected ways to teach us. After all wasnāt Jesus the King of all Kings born and placed in a lowly manger? How random and unexpected was that? Michael Jackson was like that for me as well. He spoke to my soul. Before his death he was a mega star... incredibly talented and controversial. Someone FAR away from my life. In my life only on the radio... famous... unapproachable... not really real. I was so busy surviving the blows of life and raising my children I didnāt even realize I <i>was</i> an MJ fan. Yet his music, short films and TV spots filled my life... created magic and special moments.... that gave me the escape I craved. Is that not a fan? I organized my life around them. The word fan was weird... just silly to me. I didnāt want to be a 'fan' of anyone... well except the Lord. I hid in Godās word and in church. I learned about loss and pain first hand for many, many years. Each new year was going to be the year that things would change. Yet only more loss and pain persisted... like a 15 year plague... just surviving... existing... losing more and more people in my life. Many times I felt like Job in the Bible minus the locusts and boils. āØāØ<br />
<br />
The incredibly ironic gift is that in MJās death... life was restored to my broken heart. In my grief for Michaelās loss all my pain and suffering was encapsulated into a reason to grieve.... along with millions of others who felt the same way. The axis of my life was altered... on a new course. The question WHY at the forefront. Why Lord did you allow this most special person to die way too soon? Why Lord did you allow so much pain in his life? I identified with Michaelās persecution and suffering.... pain and torment. Why did I not see it before his death? It must be true... that sadly... we do not really truly know what we have until itās gone. This realization has changed my outlook on life. Embrace the now... embrace who you LOVE now. Don't wait until they are gone. <br />
<br />
Michael Jackson was a treasure, a precious gem. He taught the world about love by continuing to love even while being bullied and hated by those who didnāt even know him. He is a testament that LOVE wins. I believe that the Lord took him too soon to save him... save him from a much worse pain. He had already endured so much... yet they... the media... the sensationalist who bottom feed on lies and slander, the users and leeches and hanger on-ers would never have left him alone. Evil loves to tear apart and destroy good.... and Michael was too good... too kind... too generous. There was only more pain and grief to come. God knew Michael's fragile, broken heart simply could not bear anymore pain. So the Lord took him to His side. His special child, Michael, had done what he was created to do. He shared his gifts freely... he gave his heart fully... and it was time for God to take him under His wing and protect him from any further pain and torment. <br />
<br />
āØāØHe spared Michael... and ironically in the process the Lord connected me to life and people I never thought in my wildest dreams Iād ever meet. God is good like that... restoring lives. He can take the most broken and turn their ashes into joy. That is what has happened in my life as I look to God for my guidance and direction. He works through people like my scientist friend... my MJ friends... my family... the friends of MJ... MJ himself... and he molds us like clay... directs our path... opens our mind and heart and soul to be all He created us to be. He sees us perfect and completed... always has... since before we were just a twinkle in Father Godās eye. <br />
<br />
āØāØWell... apparently I am no longer blocked or not blocked at the moment anyway. All gifts are from God... the ultimate source... our creator. It is God and God alone who frees us in HIS time to do HIS calling... not ours. God has better plans for us than we could ever dream or imagine. Since June God has called me to be silent on my blog. It has been a time of digesting, questioning, sharing personally with others, but mostly resting and refocusing. āØāØ<br />
<br />
June.... This month holds the day that will mark my life forever... this sad anniversary has become a celebration of Michael's life. June was amazing. Fans around the world had been saving and planning to visit Los Angeles for the 5th year anniversary of the passing of Michael Jackson. The result was they showed up in droves from all around the globe. I love the different languages and accents. I met literally 100s of beautiful people in person who Iāve talked with and communicated with only online for years now... your faces and smiles shine bright in my memory. There were tears and smiles and most of all hugs and healing. I feel so privileged that God has allowed me on this journey.āØāØāØ<br />
<br />
There were many great events and gatherings in June for 'Michael Week'
as it has come to be known... it was simply non stop and packed with
activity and Michaeling. <br />
<br />
Here are a few highlights from the week... āØāØ<br />

ā„ Brad Sundbergās In The Studio with Michael Jackson Seminar at Westlake:āØāØ</h3>
Yes!!! Brad Sundbergās, The Homecoming, In The Studio with MJ Seminar at Westlake Studios in Beverly Hills was at the top of the list for me. There are simply no words to describe it. Stories, recording clips and pictures of Michael behind the scenes creating his magic shared by those who were personally with him while he made many of his albums. <br />
<br />
MJās personal chefs were also on hand with MJās fav food for us to indulge in. I especially enjoyed the enchiladas, pop corn and Hot Banana Pudding. Two ladies, The Slam Dunk Sisters, as MJ dubbed them, shared stories about cooking for MJ and time with him. Michael flew them all over the world when he craved their cooking. One story in particular about a time they were summoned to cook MJās favorite dinner ācheese enchiladasā at Neverland for a visitor. How MJ leaned over the upstairs banister and yelled to them there would be someone knocking on the door soon and that he wanted them both to answer it and heād be down in a while. Soon there was the knock so they went to the door and opened it and there stood PRINCE. Yes! That Prince... Purple Rain Prince... all decked out top to bottom in a canary yellow suit with white platform shoes and a top hat with a large white plum out the side. He stood there meekly holding a little gift box for Michael. They were totally at a loss for words and just stood back against the wall as he walked in the front door past them... speechless... their mouths hanging open. MJ took a while to make his entrance then suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs, glittering and dressed to the nines... for an outfit showdown. There he stood saying nothing just looking directly at Prince. Prince took a stance like 'Check me out!' and MJ responded with his pose... giving each other the showdown glare with each striking pose. This went on for sometime as they showed their awesome stuff off. Then they broke into laughter and started giggling, slapping each other on the back and telling each other how great they looked. They settled in for a long night of friendship, dinner and movies... just hanging out and being themselves. āØāØ<br />
<br />
Itās stories like these... the private and yes many funny moments that are gems for me. The man behind the persona. This seminar was filled with so many genius moments of Michael in action behind the scenes... writing songs bit by bit... listening as a few notes on the piano became an entire song... listening to the whole process of the genius at work. It was mind boggling. The Childhood video was life changing for me. It touched my soul... my heart in a way Iād not felt since MJās death. The look of utter sheer joy as his perfectionist soul achieved the finished product and expressed with his angelic voice... saying openly to the world what heād always wanted to say... literally... "Have you seen my childhood?" <br />
<br />
āØāØMore changed for me too when listening to Brad speak so lovingly and respectfully of Michael. As with all those who were close to MJ... who really knew him... Brad knew him as a person not a persona and his view of him is different than that of a fan. He shared about the artist at work. The everyday working guy doing a job which just happened to be sharing the most incredible God given talent the world has ever seen. <br />
<br />
āØI had reminded Brad that at 2:20pm MJ fans everywhere normally observe a moment of silence. He expressed he didnāt want his seminar to be morbid or down... he wanted it to celebrate the life of Michael and his genius. He felt Michael would not want us hanging our heads in sadness. He said heād prayed about it and was still giving it some thought but might not include that moment. I gave that moment to God and went with the flow. Before I realized it the moment came... Brad looked at his watch. Acknowledged that he wanted everyone to enjoy this day... it had been mentioned to him about the moment of silence... then he began to share from his heart. Not facts... not clips... not sound bites... but his heart. He began to tear up... but fought it off not wanting to ruin things for the fans by crying yet that is what we all identified with... what was in our hearts. The missing... we needed to see those who loved and respected Michael also missed him terribly. This genius Peter Pan who had made such a dynamic personal global impact on millions of lives... only someone gifted by God could do such a thing. <br />
<br />
Brad shared a simple story of once stopping to get gas on the way to Neverland and absently mindedly adding some Chapstick heād seen at the check stand that MJ used all the time... AND was always setting down somewhere and loosing. So he randomly grabbed and added a few tubes in a plastic case of the simple, plain black Chapstick to his purchase. He arrived at Neverland and went to work, busy installing sound equipment into a tree to pump music to that spot. Music was installed EVERYWHERE on the property... unexpected places like trees and rocks and special different sound tracks were piped in for each place. Michael drove up in a golf cart, just like on many days when he was home, and cheerfully greeted him, āHey Brad!ā Brad responded with a āHi Michael...ā and āOh, by the way I picked up something for you.ā Then reaching in his pocket and retrieving the Chapstick heād stuck there, pulled it out and casually tossed it to him. Michael caught it and was stunned. He looked up at Brad... touched to his core... silent... and began to cry. Then softly said, āYou noticed. You noticed. Thank you so much. Thank you.ā It was such a little, random, kind gesture that meant so much to Michael. Just the thought that someone would notice something so small and care enough to think of him. Brad, a big man, over six foot tall, holding back tears said... āI just miss the little guy. I really miss him.ā At that moment our hearts all nodded in agreement.āØāØ No more words needed. <br />
<br />
Each of Brad's seminars are different and are chock full of amazing MJ content. Rumor has it that Bradās Seminar will return next June. Personally I very much hope so as it is something to definitely save for and attend. So well worth the price of admission. But then Michael always hired the very best and like Michael, Brad is a perfectionist and presents the very best. <br />

ā„ Glittery Tattoo Meet and Greet:āØāØ</h3>
<div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;">
There were sooo many MJ fans there it was crazy. Normally about 30 to 50 of us just sit in a living room type, bar atmosphere, very relaxed and share and talk... eat and drink. This year there was no way of doing this as thousands of MJ fans descended upon Los Angeles for the 5th anniversary... it grew this year exponentially. This event has always been a loose mix and mingle of laughter, drinks and bonding of hearts. People are free to come and go and never feel they need to stick to a schedule... and each year it grows. As with most things we plan... God laughs... and this event turned out to be itās own entertainment. I lost count... there were so many people and I apologize to anyone who didnāt get your tattoo because of time restraints and unexpected, bizarre hotel restrictions... long story and long line. I have learned to go with the flow in life and that is how my MJ events seem to go as well... they take on a life of their own. It's always an adventure. Next year we may need to find a new venue to accommodate both the glittery tattoos and those who love to party together. All in all it was a great success because what it truly is about is celebrating the joy and love of Michael that brought us all together. A great big thanks to MK for kindly showing up and sharing his incomparable, beautiful MJ self at this event. āØāØā„</div>

ā„ HIE Meet and Greet:āØāØ </h3>
This event was simply awesome. Hundreds of MJ fans showed up packing the meeting hall at Holiday Inn Express Hollywood. There were smiles everywhere as we gathered to hear MJās photographer, Harrison Funk, share about his time with Michael. He showed us amazing, private pictures of Michael photo shoots from his collection. What a privilege to listen to him talk so lovingly and loyally about Michael and what it was like to work with him. This was an incredible time for all.āØāØ Wanda always does such a great job putting this event together and providing food and snacks. <br />

ā„ One Rose for Michael J. Jackson 2014:āØ</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This out pouring of LOVE for Michael is proof that LOVE wins... showing in the number of gorgeous, brilliant red roses that
increases in size for Michael at Holly Terrace each year. This year an unbelievable and
massive show of love with 15,627 Red Freedom Roses being lovingly placed
at MJās burial site. This incredible, royal-red carpet of love for our King of Pop is only best viewed in full
from above by helicopter. āØāØWe the MJ fans globally continue to show the media... the world... the universe that we will NEVER forget Michael Jackson. That he is truly LOVED and that love continues to grow for him and will never die. I feel so privileged to be a part of this incredible tribute of massive love for Michael. One Rose... One Heart... One LOVE for MJJ. A very special great big THANK YOU to Robyn and Sarrah for continuing to over see this beautiful event. </div>
<br />
Each year we are all amazed and blown away at the showing of LOVE with these beautiful red roses. The red carpet of love grows more every year. I pray this event continues For All Time and will continue to grow in overflowing LOVE for Michael until the display of red roses completely surrounds and hugs the entire Holly Terrace Mausoleum front and back where MJ lays at rest. <br />

ā„ MJ's Lanterns of LOVE:</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was the first year for this event and it was spectacularly peaceful and meaningful for me. After going with a small group of spirited MJ fans to deliver One Rose roses to the Aides Project Los Angeles in the One Rose pay it forward event... I went directly to the beach while the sun was still warm to find peace and solace before fans arrived. Sitting quietly on the beach reflecting, taking in the suns rays and beauty of the ocean I meditated on where I had come in life since MJ's death. I felt so blessed and loved. There are no words to explain the scene on the beach this night. The orange and purple sunset with Santa Monica Pier glowing in the back ground as the MJ fans gathered in love... made this an overwhelmingly blessed experience of peace. So many from distant, far away lands all gathered, connected now... closely sharing hugs and laughter. The lanterns glowed from the heart of each fan around the world on the beach very near where Michael raved with joy, like a kid at Christmas, when he experienced his very first tented Cirque de Soleil show with John Branca. This event was simple... simply love... in the sand for Michael and each other. With the Pacific Ocean mist on our faces... the ocean breeze in our hair we shared what Michael shared with the world... LOVE. Beach chairs and blankets set out, enjoying the glow of the lanterns as dusk turned to darkness... and of course MJās music softly playing... then we all joined in and sang Man In The Mirror as squeals of joy and fun were heard on the pier in the distance. So very reminiscent of Michaelās Neverland. A very blessed night indeed. āØāØ</div>

ā„ MJ One Vegas - <b><br />'before' party at the Palms and 'after' Party at the Mix - Mandalay Bay Hotel: </b></h3>
Thank you to Melanie for continuing to facilitate the Before MJ One Party at the Palms Hotel. It is always so fun and it grows each year as well. <br />
āØāØ<br />
Wow! Wow! Wow! is all I can say... seeing the Cirque MJ One show for the 4th time and it was still absolutely amazing... <br />
<br />
BUT then the impromptu (the very best and can never be replicated) dance party on the top floor in the Mix Bar was all out AWESOME!!! Thank you to Marty for making this happen!! MJ fans from all groups around the world spontaneously showed up and we danced to MJās Xscape album as the DJ played song after song. Whoooo Hooooo... LOVE Never Felt So Good... the place was rockin'. We turned it up LOUD! Dancing into the wee hours... enjoying views of Las Vegas you donāt see else where especially from the ladies and mens bathrooms. LOL Iāll leave that to your imagination. It was a fantastic way to end an incredible Michael week! āØāØ<br />
<br />
ā„ Memories for a lifetime!! ā„ <br />

<b>An announcement from the Estate of Michael Jackson by the MJ Online Team:</b><br />
<br />
Hello:<br />
As with so many times before, Michael Jacksonās artistry and genius is again at center stage.<br />
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of promotion for Michaelās
new album, XSCAPE ā starting with the premiere of the albumās first
single āLove Never Felt So Goodā on the iHeart Music Awards, and
continuing to the performance on the Billboard Awards Sunday night.
These performances were the highlights of both shows and netted Michael
the #1 album on the planet, the #1 spot on iTunes and Spotify and the #1
single/video on iTunes!<br />
<br />
Michaelās music is also part of two worldwide advertising campaigns ā
Sony Mobile using āSlave To The Rhythmā and Jeep using āLove Never Felt
So Good.ā This is an incredible testament to the King of Pop! Our goal
is to reach as many people as possible and to expand the community to
include as many new fans as possible. Given all that has happened in
these last few weeks, that goal has been accomplished. Everyone around
the world is talking about Michaelās music and his achievements!<br />
Our other goal is to use new and innovative ways to create
entertainment on a grand scale that allows the world to experience
Michaelās magic ā something that reflects Michaelās love of spectacle
and grandeur and his own desire to be a step ahead of others. The best
entertainment is that which evokes āsuspended disbeliefā; itās about
entertainment, not reality. When David Copperfield makes an airplane
disappear, the illusion is no less compelling because it is not real. No
one will ever replace Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. And certainly
no one can dance like the greatest entertainer who ever lived ā not even
an illusion. Michaelās music and spirit are immortal, and that has been
proven again these last few weeks. In bringing Michaelās spirit to the
stage, the entire world was reminded of Michaelās genius as a singer, a
dancer, and an innovator who pushed the envelope.<br />
<br />
We want to thank the MJ fan community for their continued support for
Michael and wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the things
that we are seeing and reading. The incredible visibility over the last
few weeks as the world has celebrated the release of XSCAPE is amazing.
We hope the fans are as thrilled as we are to see all of this promotion
call attention to Michaelās music. Here are some of the highlights of
the reaction to the Billboard performance. You will soon see the
reaction to the first week sales of XSCAPE.<br />
<br />
Good Morning America described the āhistory making spectacleā like
this: āThe technology wowed the audienceā¦it was a bit of Michael
magicā¦well done, indeed.ā<br />
Jackie Jackson said āIt was like he was right here with us. I got
teary eyed to see my brother up there. I thought he was there for real.ā<br />
<br />
Ludacris chimed in: āIt sent chills down my spine.ā Watch here: <a href="http://gma.yahoo.com/video/michael-jackson-takes-center-stage-123231754.html" target="_blank">http://gma.yahoo.com/video/michael-jackson-takes-center-stage-123231754.html</a><br />
This is what Twitter looked like when Michael Jackson segment aired on the Billboard Music Awards:<a href="http://vine.co/v/MH1WehPAzFn" target="_blank"> https://vine.co/v/MH1WehPAzFn</a><br />
This was the biggest audience that the Billboard Music Awards has
enjoyed in 13 years. ABC, the network that carried the broadcast, won
the night for most viewers. The highest viewership occurred between 9-10
p.m. ā when Michaelās segment occurred.<br />

We were a party of eleven global MJ fans... ranging in age from early twenties to over sixty... all hardcore MJ fans... for some it was a journey of 20 hours with overlays... for others less time in flight from their homes on the other side of the globe or across the states... for me it was a familiar hour drive in L.A. traffic. For all of us it is a journey to the unknown... filled with MJ Butterflies. Iām feeling very nervous and anxious... filled with so many thoughts and feelings. I end up blathering on like a magpie... not ever sure what Iām talking about but so happy to be meeting new MJ fans who share my heart. Some I know by name only on Face Book and others Iāve never met. I love that moment when the Face Book name registers with the face and hugs ensue.<br />

<br />
Although very anxious for a long awaited new MJ CD... always in the back of my mind Iām thinking, āA new album from Michael Jackson... how good could it possibly be without the man himself here to give it the final nod?ā I personally felt some deep trepidation since the invite arrived. We werenāt told what the invite was for... everything was top secret... however deducing there had been listening parties in Paris, London and N.Y... my guess was L.A. had to be next. What if I didnāt really like this album? As an MJ fan I resigned myself to being very grateful there are original untouched demos on the deluxe version. No one can screw those up... Michael at his bare bones finest. Any true MJ fan has been listening to leaked versions of songs for years now... sorry but itās true. We all drink in Michaelās voice in any version... grateful to hear his genius. I had decided one way or another... although grateful for the invite I would be honest about what I thought and felt. I may never be invited back to such an event but... I have to be loyal to my truth! I mean really without Michaelās personal touch, work ethic, excellence of product, his quiet, tender, kind, humble and respectful way of accepting only the best of himself and others, the masterful way in which he drove all who worked for him and studied under him to strive for depths of excellence they never knew existed... without him here... how good could it really be? Soooo many questions had been running through my mind and heart. <br />
<br />
Heartbreakingly over the last five long years the world has had to deal with the devastating fact... Michael is gone... the King is gone... leaving a huge void in our hearts and the music industry. There is not a day that goes by for me that I do not play, watch and hear Michael Jackson sing. There just arenāt any other artists, although very talented, that consistently touch my heart the way Michael continues to with his timeless music.āØāØ<br />
<br />
Around the world it is agreed upon by music critics and fans alike Michaelās unfinished demos are masters of high quality better than most finished product out there today. The music stars of today although many are amazingly talented only attempt to rise to MJ's artistic level. Only MJ can fill his shoes and this is a fact which will forever remain concrete! āØ<br />
<br />
So then what does happen when Michaelās beautifully layered vocals which he anointed with his genius are touched by producers who once worked with the KOP one on one... those highly respected in the business who STILL deeply love and respect Michael... who listened diligently and learned from Michaelās example and tutelage one on one when he still walked this earth? āØāØ<br />

The answer... <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;">Michael reaches out from the universe, from his heavenly home and works his magic from the biospheres! </span></span></b></span></span><b>The King is back! Just as he wished... his music... his art LIVES on! āØ</b><br />
<br />
That special perfect voice... no one can touch or duplicate... the depth
of emotion in vocal story telling... the growl in his voice... the
vocals layered over and over one another.... the ecstatic Hee Hees...
blissfulness... escapism... Xscape!!āØāØ I felt the same chills while listening to this new album as I felt years ago when I used to watch each new MTV MJ short film or listen to each new MJ album. Yes it's all there!!<br />

Spirits run high when we all realize we are being taken to the Henson Studios, home of the Muppets, formerly A&M Studios which holds within its walls great Michael history. This is a place on my Michaeling bucket list which has been untouchable... a closed, secure, working studio. So for me itās a mission
complete and an amazingly wonderful surprise! We are escorted into a very special place...
Studio A. Directed to sit in chairs in the middle of the room where
giant multi-level speakers focus on us. We take a seat and as I look
around realize this is a very familiar place... a very MICHAEL place. A place where music history was made in the '80s. <br />
<br />
In
my nervousness I am talking up a storm... sorry everyone... that is
what I do when I am nervous... suddenly it all registers and I see
Michael before me... and blurt out... āThis is the studio where Michael
recorded āWe Are The Worldā!" Yes along with so many 80ās music stars...
directed by Q to āLeave your egos at the door.ā I feel myself hoping that many
on this new MJ album followed suite with Q's directive as well. āØāØAs I look
around the room I realize the chairs are set up just about where
Michael stood when he recorded the masters for all the stars to learn
their part on the song. MJ perfectly singing every range of the song
for each of them. I picture Quincy at his music stand and Frank Delio
with his cigar where now sits a computer and a sound board table. I
look around the room and yes there is the wall! The wall where Michael sat on
the floor, leaned up against it as he worked with Lionel Richie on that
ground breaking charity based anthem. As thoughts of the magic and history of 'We Are The World'
flood my mind I am reminded again with Michael everything was innovative
and groundbreaking. I wonder how can anyone meet that expectation with
him gone? How good could this album possibly be?<br />
<br />
We are told that LA Reid who produced with Baby Face, and now the CEO of Epic Studios will be our personal DJ. What? YES! He himself will be playing the Xscape album for us. Cool bring it on!!<br />

Xcitement and anticipation builds... many Epic and Sony executives enter the room including Sylvia Rhone, president of Sony, a slight lady in a spring dress with a perky attitude and very warm and friendly spirit. They shake our hands... we whisper to each other asking who many of them are. Shake our heads... we have no idea. No suits... all casual in tennis shoes and jeans... some are looser than others... some clearly are uncomfortable and look like they have more important things to do... well itās the corporate world so yeah that is to be expected... we exchange friendly hellos and handshakes with some and learn these people are very down to earth and many are MJ fans like us. Wait???? What???? These are Sony/Epic executives... right? Iām confused... this is not jelling with all Iāve heard about Sony... evil Sony... Sony Sucks... Sony is phoney! Yes... THAT Sony. The Sony of Tommy Matolla and years gone by... the Sony that Michael passionately spoke out about. I feel a big āYeah whateverā come over me... I know the two faced corporate world.... weāll see how this all plays out. āØ<br />

<br />
Instead while we wait I focus on the fans... many are those I interact with from the other side of the world... now connecting Face Book names and emails with real life faces. Navi who eerily has Michaelās deep round brown eyes is here and happily we reunite. Hugs ensue all around... especially for, beautiful, April, my dear friend Bonnieās daughter from Boston. Bonnie has run MJ-Upbeat website in LOVE for Michael since 2003. After Michaelās death she was the loving person the Lord provided who became my life buoy in an ocean of grief. A lovely lady from Japan, Michiko, shows me her wonderful MJ jacket and purse... they have the best MJ clothes in Japan. Iām so happy to meet Mickie Qbee, a fun loving lady who is staff on MJJ Community. Iāve been asked to support a very shy fan from Germany, Jasmina, I look for her. Shy? I chuckle as I see she is chatting away with other MJ fans totally at home with those around her. What a privilege to be apart of such a gathering of MJ fans from the UK, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and the USA. Itās so astonishing to me that we barely know one another and yet through Michael Jacksonās music we instantly bond, quickly become friends in person. Michael the heart hook, the glue which draws us together as ONE. <br />
<br />
John Branca and Karen Langford who are committed to excellence and protecting Michaelās legacy and his children confirm now we are indeed at the L.A. Xscape listening party. John Branca speaks to us about many songs Michael worked on that were not released as intended such as āWanna Be Startinā Somethinā was originally recorded for āOff The Wallā but used three years later on āThriller.ā āEarth Songā and āThey Donāt Care About Usā were originally recorded for āDangerousā, but eventually used four years later on
āHIStory.ā He explained that the songs left over from recording for certain albums, although recorded in full, arenāt necessarily finished but nor are they necessarily songs Michael had disregarded as unreleasable. They just didn't fit on to that particular album.<br />
<br />
We all sit in Michaelās āWe Are The Worldā studio on the Henson lot anxiously anticipating Michael's voice when LA Reid enters the room and John introduces him. An amiable, warm and friendly man he talks about his deep, committed responsibility to Michael with this album. Sharing his heart he explains from the very start he let John Branca and John McClain know there is no way he would even consider touching Michaelās work unless he personally felt it was already at a stage where Michael had shown he loved the songs. He explains that as he personally listened to the demos the Estate provided him... with an open mind to say No... the songs with the layers of continued work are the ones which clearly had Michaelās nod of approval... showing him the way... that Michael loved those songs. If Michael never continued to work on something... if he only sang the chorus and he never worked on it again... that demo was out. Clearly and humbly he explained that he loves and respects Michael Jackson and has been a very long time fan and was privileged and awed to work with Michael in the later years but with Michael's passing their projects were never completed. I relate... wait... I relate to LA Reid? What? Well we all have regrets in the area of Michael... on a different level completely... I regret never attending a concert... never meeting Michael... but God had other plans for me. Here this man who regrets never finishing his work with MJ... God had other plans for him as well. <br />
<br />
He is beaming like a kid at Christmas... clearly anxious to play the album for us... we are all on the edge of our seats... very anxious. The first song on the album āLove Never Felt So Goodā begins... and Michaelās voice, an undeniable beat of Michaelās heart fills the room. The true test of a Michael song is if you feel it throughout your body... into your bones... giving you chills... if it moves you and there is just no sitting still. We are all moving to the beat in our chairs. Itās GOOD! YES itās REALLY, REALLY GOOD!! I glance over at Navi with a knowing smile and we nod. YES! We agree... itās true to MICHAEL... at least for this first song... THE KING IS BACK!! āØāØWith each song... the same feeling overwhelms us... soon I canāt stay in my chair... Iām up and dancing... and I do NOT dance in public. I move to the middle of the room where the speakers focus all sound. Many of the executives are dancing and enjoying even more so than the fans. Well we are after all listening for the first time... yet it is undeniably EXCELLENT so far. Soon all the fans are smiling and up... NO one is still seated. All are moving to the beat... Michaelās voice filling our hearts and souls. All 8 songs are played for us. I simply canāt tell you which one is my favorite... I love them all! Everyone is so far superior to the majority of empty, soulless, shallow songs out there today. Sorry Bruno and JT... you are still awesome!!<br />
<br />
Another true test of a great Michael album... each one could be a single... a hit! Yet they all cohesively work together and speak to one another. Too soon all eight songs are played and itās over. LA Reid who has been grooving, dancing and playing virtual drums, piano and directing an invisible spherical orchestra returns to the sound table and asks,āAgain?ā We all nod with a resounding, āYES!ā So one song at a time he plays the album for us again... After the first or second song replays he asks, āWhat do you think? Let it play or is that it!ā I burst out with, āLet it play!ā I NEED to hear these Michael songs again... I need to listen deeper. Yes the true test... if an MJ album is listened to over and over and over... will it still be current, relevant and amazing the 2nd or 1000th time? āØāØ<br />
<br />
I have this deep heartfelt pang wishing for the millionth time that
Michael was still here to be the one to finish these songs himself. Although
ecstatic that they are absolutely excellent... I wonder what they would sound like with his masterful genius finishing touch. Iāve come to accept this thought will never leave... it just wonāt. Of course we all wish he was still with us... fact is heās
not. Truth is... gratefully we are so very, very blessed that he left a treasure
trove and his music still lives on! āØāØ<br />
<br />
The album finishes a full second play and LA pulls his chair from behind the sound table for a one on one Q&A. Comfortably relaxed and open to us he crosses one leg over another as he explains about his resistance at first to complete any MJ demo. He is CEO of Epic records... he no longer needs to spend endless hours in a studio mixing and adding just the right elements to a song. Yet with Michaelās demos... Michaelās music... it was a chance to bring things full circle... to find healing from the loss of Michael.... for him it was an opportunity to bring to fruition unfinished work. A chance to honor the KOP in his house Sony/Epic Music bringing Michael the honor he so sorely deserves. He let it be known that no other company than Epic should be the one to produce this album after all Epic was Michaelās home and all his albums were produced by Epic. He shared about working with Michael and that MJ had told him, āLA itās not about the money with me. Itās about being the best... being at the top.ā <br />
<br />
For LA Reid, as well, itās clearly not about the money. As we prod him with questions as to why he decided to work on this MJ album he digs deeper. Sharing his heartfelt personal thoughts about his own life. That since his appointment as CEO of Epic he has thought in his heart, āWhy am I here... really here? I mean I know logistically how I got here... what circumstances happened to get me to this place... but really... why am I here?ā His answer is revealed once John Branca asks him to take a look at the demos. After listening to them he now understands why he is here... why he is CEO of Epic... itās to do this for Michael... bring him full circle at Sony... back to the top of the charts. Honored once again. <br />
<br />
LA reveals that he did little research on the demos but went with what appealed to his heart. That was how he decided which ones to work on. He shared that it was only after he'd extensively worked on and recorded the mixes to the level of excellence he felt they deserved and played the songs at a listening party was he told by an MJ fan that the MJ fans had been listening to many of these leaked songs for years. At first he felt shocked and panicked a bit wondering what the response from fans would be... but then calmed down knowing he had done his best giving each one the justice Michael deserved. <br />
<br />
He expressed what a privilege it was for each of the producers to finish what they started with Michael... a true labor of LOVE for each... a healing journey. LA decided early on that not just anyone would be working on this album... only those that knew what it was like to work with Michael. That they MUST approach this work with commitment to total excellence to honor MJās legacy.āØāØ<br />
<br />
He became very sincere as he looked at Branca and then back at us hesitating at first and then sharing, āI know this is NOT the place... really to bring up the media and all that they have spread...ā as he slapped his leg and loudly exclaimed, āI just HAVE to say, MICHAEL WAS INNOCENT!!ā Which brought a round of applause from the fans and others in the room as he was preaching to the choir. Then proceeded to tell us about his personal time with Michael and his children relaying one of the most beautiful memories for him with Michael was witnessing Michaelās loving fathering skills and hearing Michael and the children randomly singing a Disney song together as they interacted one night at home. As a father himself LA said there was no denying MJās love for his children. āØāØ<br />

<br />
Iām very impressed with LA Reid as a person... he is humble, down to earth and very approachable with a great contagious smile. He shared about keeping an open mind while listening to the demos always keeping in mind he would not touch any demo that MJ had not brought to a level of excellence. Also how John Branca told him heād over looked a song, āA Place With No Name.ā How heād listened closely to this song again and realized John was correct. It was definitely a great song and needed to be on the album. I absolutely have to agree this song is one of my absolute favs on this album. I really thought Iād like the demos better than the mixed versions but I have to say I absolutely love everyone of these songs. Each tells a different story... each show cases Michaelās historic genius with a contemporized approach which truly compliments Michael completely. The younger of the audience, April, admitted she is hard to please with new songs and was ready to not like it. She simply beamed as she did not hesitate to share she loved everyone of the songs. I am so excited to know that there will be new generations of fans appreciating Michael Jackson's genius and music for generations to come. Another gentleman fan said he is very shy yet the music and Michaelās voice had him up out of his seat and moving to the music which he normally does not do, especially in public.āØāØ<br />
<br />
We decide to take a group picture and discuss the light and where to stand... Navi suggests the view with the sound booth in the background. LA Reid suggests farther out into the room where there is better light... and then I say, "Why don't we all stand where Michael stood?" LA turns to me and says, "Where is that?" I point, smile, saying, "Right here where he recorded, 'We Are The World'." He laughs and puts his hand on my shoulder and exclaims, "Well there is NO way I can fill Michael's shoes but let's all stand right here where Michael stood!" I respond with, "No way... No one ever will!" He gives me a knowing look, smile and nod. Then we line up on Michael's spot for our pic. <br />

Karen shares with us a gem was found in Michaelās own notes as they discovered Michael's inspiration behind āDo You Know Where Your
Children Are?ā In the '60s through the '90s there was a TV campaign for
child safety that would come on TV each evening asking parents everywhere this very
question. Only Michael could take a TV safety campaign and turn it into
genius, rhythmic music and song writing. Soooo Michael... soooo freaking amazing!
āØāØ<br />
<br />
We leave the the Henson Studios on foot to walk to the Roosevelt Hotel a few city blocks away... allowing the MJ fans to experience the Hollywood walk of fame experience. They are thrilled and take many pictures of the stars on the sidewalk along the way. Once at the hotel we are escorted to a large table in the side grotto and dine on delicious and healthy appetizers, dinner and amazing gourmet desserts compliments of LA Reid and Epic Studios. <br />
<br />
The Sony phoney stuff is still bothering me so I ask Jeff about it... he states that was all dealt with when Michael was still alive and Michael was happy to sign another contract with Sony/Epic in 2008. There is not one person remaining at Sony who was there during the Invincible debacle. I am grateful to hear this and I feel Michael would be happy to know that his focused efforts conquered the devilishness that once ran Sony. His fight not only had been won when he was here on this earth but now those at the helm of Sony have come full circle... the result? MJ is King!<br />
<br />
We all seem overwhelming relieved and agree that this album is FANTASTIC. We are asked which song is our favorite. I find it hard to choose. There is one song that is good; however did not move me like the others. Yet as we talk and bounce around our reaction to the songs I find that many absolutely love the one I am not that moved by. Yet I know with Michaelās music I canāt wait for the chance to listen closer over and over again with the albums release on May 13th. Then I can allow Michael's music to sink into my blood... hear what maybe I was missing on that particular song and totally drink in all the others I love so much. āØāØ<br />
<br />
This superbly mixed and engineered album for each of them especially LA Reid is a Labor of LOVE... spending endless hours, days and nights in the studio... striving for the perfection that they felt Michael was spurning them towards. Truly it shows in the end result... this album will be a huge HIT! It will be so wonderful to see Michael back up at the top of the charts where he so deservedly belongs. āØāØ<br />

We gather the next day and are taken by van to Sony Music studios for breakfast in a conference room. We are asked to candidly share our likes, dislikes and concerns. The Sony president, Sylvia Rhone, along with John Branca and Karen Langford and other executives from N.Y are present in person and by video conference. We bandy around our thoughts and impressions of the album... it is unanimous... we all LOVE the Xscape album and are very eager for itās release! We are told there are more surprises tucked into the Deluxe version!āØāØ Although we heard eight songs we are told there is still yet another
song... a 9th which will be a total surprise to the entire world along
with several other surprises in the Deluxe version, as well as, two videos
of all the producers speaking about the heartfelt process of making this
album and their journey with Michael in this process. <br />
<br />
The subject of Mr. Brainwash comes up and John shares that as he drives to work everyday there is a liquor store he passes. He must have driven by it literally 1,000s of times and never really noticed anything special about it but this one day he sees a painting of Marilyn Monroe in the window and thinks, āThat is really different.ā Each day after he continues to notice that painting... it seems to jump out at him. Then on a subsequent day he passes a billboard on the same route and there is the most interesting painting which he is very drawn to. Finally he stops at the liquor store to inquire who did the painting... he researches the billboard for the same answer and learns the same artist did them both... Mr. Brainwash. They contact Mr. Brainwash to come in for a meeting asking him to bring samples of his work. He begins to tell Mr. Branca that he is so thrilled because Michael Jackson was one of his first clients. John is totally taken aback... he asks him, āWhat? What do you mean Michael Jackson was one of your first customers?ā Mr. Brainwash relays the story of Michael approaching him and buying many of his paintings. John shaking his head at what he has heard as he remembers and relays the story needed not to verbally complete the connection for me... as I sat there with 'Michael chills' all over my body. Clearly Michael was in charge of connecting Mr. Branca with Mr. Brainwash for the promo Xscape artwork... for me there are no coincidences. Once again Michael has reached out from the heavenly spheres to put his touch, his final nod, guidance on this... his own album. āØ<br />
<br />
Epic and the MJ Estate are committed to reveal this album the way that Michael would want it done... with magic and surprise! āØāØSo yes there will be more exciting Xscape surprises! Stay tuned!! There is more to come and I just truly feel we won't be disappointed. </div>

Since Michael Jacksonās death the Lord has placed me in the most surprising, blessed situations meeting the most interesting people. This recent invitation and adventure proved to be no exception. <br />
<br />
āØDebbie Rowe minces no words and made it very clear that her home is her HOME... NOT a tourist attraction where MJ fans go Michaeling. I respect and honor that and ask all MJ fans everywhere to do the same. I share this story about visiting Debbie in her home, the Painted Desert Ranch, with her permission and in the hope it will bring to light a wonderful and brilliant charity she supports. āØāØ<br />

A visit to the Painted Desert Ranch changes you, there is LOVE and a energy level for living life not found just anywhere. If the dog barks and licks of love and appreciation don't touch your heart then the horses, birds, chickens and roosters will definitely win you over. With so many of Godās creatures around you exuberantly sharing the joy of life itās simply impossible to walk away unchanged. Everything that happens on the premises of this property relates to care and love for the animals, family and friends. There is no time for fussing or drama... simply... itās an oasis of āLife.ā āØāØ<br />

Debbie is the spirit and soul of the Painted Desert Ranch and without a doubt one consistent about Debbie Rowe is you never have to question where you stand with her. She grabs life and lives it with gusto, unconventional, putting on no airs. The media presentation and some of the fan perceptions of her bluntly stated... are bull. She is a contradiction; a lovable, big, sweetheart with manicured nails; yet a brash, kick ass, straightforward, ātell it like it isā cowgirl. A boundless bundle of energy and joy, she swears and cusses like a sailor as she describes the antics of the animals and happenings around the busy ranch. Then in the same breath fondly caresses a bird, dog or horse. Debbie laughs with her whole body a deep belly laugh which starts with a twinkle in her eye. There is no holding back with Debbie and I love that about her. I find it hilarious and refreshing as do the two other friendly visitors who are also in town for the Grammy show. The three of us immediately fall under the spell of The Painted Desert Ranch. <br />

Arriving to thunderous barking, there is no need to knock as the herd of dogs announce my arrival. I go around the back escorted by Debbieās sister, Nancy, to find the other visitors a brother and sister, Jeffery Billinger and Deb Betz, standing with Debbie. Jeffrey is a Remax realtor in Beverly Hills and his sister Deb has joined him for this special trip. <br />
<br />
Debbie greets me with a big wave and large, friendly hug as if weād been friends forever. I immediately felt at ease... at home. We shared small talk as I gave her my gifts... a bird calendar in honor of, Calypso, her newest Cockatoo, fresh lemons from my tree and because I have seen so many people gift her with homemade chicken soup recently... my kind of homemade chicken soup... a can of Progresso. She laughs heartily, thanks me appreciating my weird sense of humor. āØāØDebbie stands on no formalities... she is who she is... barefoot in the dry, desert, ranch sand with a bright shiny pink pedicure. It isnāt long before the mom in me tells her she needs to have some shoes on. We laugh and she asks her ranch manager, Shane, to bring her some slippers on his next trip out to the corrals. He laughs too and happily obliges.āØāØ<br />
<br />
I found Debbie to be a salt of the earth, honest to a fault type person. It is... what it is... with Debbie you donāt have to agree with her... she just is what she is and she has no time for apologies or drama. You are free to be who you are... just donāt disrespect who she is or invade her privacy... most especially do not invade the privacy of her children. Itās simple... itās called respect and boundaries. After all she was the one who originally asked Michael to cover their faces with veils. I can clearly see why Michael was attracted to Debbie with her sense of forthrightness and quick, witty sense of humor. āØāØ<br />

Smudgie, a cute, friendly, scruffy mix is the only dog that roams the corrals. She loves on everyone and runs about the property at our feet with a free lightness of spirit that is infectious. She clearly loves to keep tabs on all the horses. I try numerous times to catch a photo of her but just end up laughing as she turns her head and body away every time she senses the camera pointed in her direction... and she canāt be fooled. Given the history of pap in the area this to me is totally understandable. Camera shy and resistant to pics Debbie gives an assist and holds her sweet little face in place for an up close pic. For Smudgie there is no Gloria Swanson, āMr. Demille, Iām ready for my close upā and as soon as she releases Smudgieās little face... she is happily romping away. āØ<br />

We stood in the middle of the pipe corral areas with horses surrounding us on all sides. The perfume and scent of horses and hay in the air, āeau de toilette of horseā for me is sheer happiness greeting my senses. I love that scent. It ignites feelings of fond personal childhood memories. As I breath in the horse atmosphere my eyes are drawn to the far stalls. Iād seen pictures of the mares and the babies recently this year. There were several beautiful babies born this past year. Iād watched the process online of separation and weaning. A process which brings heart wrenching pangs for both the babies and the mothers and those who care for them. A feeling Debbie Iām very sure is deeply familiar with in her own life as a mother. I too know that feeling and deeply identify for I realize it takes more love to give a child in perfect love than to hold on to one to gratify ones heart. Yet they are always and forever apart of your soul and heart. I admire Debbie deeply for her most generous heart and all she gave to Michael in bearing him the most precious gifts he ever received on this earth, two of his children, Prince and Paris. <br />
<br />
Here on her ranch each breeding season, with her tender leading, the babies are successfully weaned and fine on their own away from their mamas in no time. I was thrilled to be standing there looking at some of the mares and the babies Iād seen online. The babies had grown so much. <br />
<br />
Scanning the acreage I notice the ranch is very practically set up with no wasted space over the full two and a half acres of land. Well thought out and constantly evolving and changing for the needs of the ever fluctuating number of occupants. One by one she introduces us to many of her beautiful ranch horses and her hands and helpers on the property who are considered family as well. She has so many horses she has lost count as they are always in flux, being moved from one skilled trainer to another. Although there are many animals who will live out their lives happy and content on the ranch some inevitably will be sold as that is the business of horse breeding. Her level of knowledge and love for her horses is immense and mind boggling for an average horse lover like me; however, Iām ready to listen and try to absorb everything possible. <br />
<br />
Iām in paradise... in the recesses of my mind I recognize horse verbiage she rattles off and am catapulted back in time to many long, lovely hours of time spent with horses as my best friends. I feel so blessed to be standing in this spot at this moment in time. āØāØAs we meet each horse, they are each so different, each with their own personality. I fall in love over and over, one by one. Debbie warmly invited us into several stalls for an up close and personal hello, pet and talk with several horses. Itās been a very long time, since 1982 that I last hugged or rode a horse. However, there is to be no riding today as my main mission, all I really want to do is hug a horse... but I contain my excitement so as not to startle them. <br />
<br />
I was thrilled to meet Joker, Jett and Matika all paint horses. I have a love of paint horses which goes back to my childhood and the first horse I learned to ride, English style in Virginia at the age of eight. A spirited, beautiful, yet gentle Painted horse much like the many Paints that Michael Landon rode as Little Joe in the classic, Bonanza, TV series many years ago. āØāØJoker aka Paintball Machine, we learned was conceived at the same time as Jett, Parisā horse and given that name because he was born on April 1st. My heart melted as I fell into his brilliant, blue eyes. Yes, Joker an adorable colt has brilliant, crystal-clear, blue eyes coincidentally just like Debbie and Paris and is a paint pony but with not quit as much white marking on his face as Jett. What a beautiful sweet personality he has as well. āØāØ<br />

Next we meet, Matika, Debbieās Queen. She is one of her first and favorite horses. She of course as with all start ups started her ranch with just one horse and grew from there one or two horses at a time. Matika, a sweet lady, was one of those firsts. She is Queen of the stable and clearly knows it. Debbie says, āDo you want to see the Queen do her Marilyn Monroe impression?ā We are looking side ways at one another like, āWhat?ā but respond, āSure!ā She begins to give Matika a good rub down, scratching her in just the right spots, she moves her lips like she is talking while Debbie sings the iconic, āHappy Birthday Mr. President.ā It is hilarious and awesome! We are thoroughly entertained and I must say Debbie has a terrific voice as well.āØāØ<br />

The last horse we meet this day in the ranch corrals is, Bubba, a large, impressive, gray sire with a black mane. I love his dapple gray coat and black socks, mane and tail. He has been the daddy to many foals. He immediately nuzzles up to her and shows his handsome, smiling self to us. Bubba is the only gray but carries the creme gene so produces color in babies. <br />

The hoof care professional is on the property today trimming some of the horseās hoofs. There are two horses being cared for temporarily at the ranch... basically a horsy sleep over with a pedicure while the owners are out of town. These two are inseparable. One large black-brown beauty, Ruby, is stamping and neighing impatiently for her sister to be returned to the stall, each taking their turn to have their hoofs trimmed and washed and their coats curried. Debbie yells to her to be patient it wonāt be long. She lifts her ears in alert response as she looks across the yard toward Debbie and then calms down a bit. āØāØWhile the sister mare is being tended to a busy, pecking flock of various colored chickens run freely clucking and pecking around the yard. Debbie tells us quickly about each breed and their special house telling us, āI want my girls comfy. The only problem I have is the roosters trip the action controlled flood lights, they think itās morning and start crowing.ā She shares there are twenty more chickens who will arrive soon to join the girls living a happy free range life at the PDR.āØāØ<br />
<br />
There were five roosters keeping the hens happy but now only four, named Ricky Martin, Fat Bastard, Billy Ray and Julio Iglesias. Bon Jovi, the fifth rooster, passed away last summer. She also shares that if you sit down the chickens will hop up in your lap to be petted and loved on. The chicken coop is not just any ordinary chicken coop but an ultra comfy tiny house, temperature controlled and aptly named, āChicken Coop de Villa.ā āØāØ<br />

All the other hens of various breeds and colors run about except these three. They do not budge. Debbie laughs and points them out to Shane wondering what on earth they are doing. They both laugh tickled by the hens conferencing and/or plotting technique. Chuckling she tells us the ladies lay their eggs which are blue, brown, white or speckled all over the barn... even in the buckets of horse feed sometimes. Seems a regular Easter egg hunt on a weekly basis to an outsider. I think to myself how Iād love to be on that hunt someday as there is nothing more scrummy than farm fresh eggs.āØāØ<br />
<br />
In the rural area of Los Angeles County, where I live, the raccoons are the pesky little rascals who cause trouble. Here I learn itās the squirrels that wreak havoc on the chicken flock. So there is need to keep them at bay, away from the chickens and steps are taken to squirrel proof the area. No squirrels and no pap allowed. āØāØ<br />
<br />
āØāØChicken Coop de Villa and the girls are left to cluck and peck as we move to the front yard. I call āShot Gun!ā as we pile in Debbieās big brown truck for the drive to town for lunch, listening to country music on the way. Debbie treats us to down-home food at, Scrambles, where everybody knows your name and they are one big, friendly family. We take our time eating scrumptious country breakfast or lunch depending on our preference before returning to the ranch for a tour of the inside of the main house, which is perfectly dubbed āCasa de Canine.ā <br />

Upon return from town Debbie graciously shows us through the front door amidst 15 dogs who exuberantly express barked greetings, licks and sniffs, some even jumping into arms of visitors. Iām in heaven with all the dogs and donāt know which one to pet first... so just put my hands out and let them decide. Itās a beautiful canine group to behold, so many beautiful pairs of breeds. <br />
<br />
Once inside we find a homey Ranch haven in the main house, āCasa de Canine.ā On the walls are antique engraved silver spurs which are too artistically ornate to wear but show nicely on the wall surrounding an ornate western, leather framed mirror. On the table in front of the mirror are beautiful flowers Debbie received and many special awards earned by precious horses who placed well in shows. Award after award, belt buckles, plaques and ribbons for Debbieās horse show beauties. <br />
<br />
Real horse shoes adorn the walls in the kitchen den area along with incredible artistic masks. Beautiful horse statues sit in a glass hutch, also an amazing glass etched horse picture with special lighting effects is given a place of honor in the den area. There is one pristine adult, non doggy area in the living room, here are framed, family photos. Her house is very comfortable and homey filled with all she holds dear. I just wanted to plop down on the leather couch and pet a pooch so I did. I also went out into the doggy court yard to play with the larger dogs who unyeilding their toys taunt me to chase them... we tugged for a bit with their toys. I could have stayed out there for hours but then realized I was missing out on meeting and holding the white Cockatoo. <br />

So moving back inside I recognize the new bird, Calypso, who recently brazenly shooed all 15 dogs out of the den and took ownership of the couch. Calypso, as brave as he is also has the sweetest spirit and is cuddling and hugging Deb. His wings literally spread like an angelās as he hugs and nuzzles her neck. Such a beautiful, sweet creature. Glancing at each cage I didnāt know where to look first... Debbie opens the cages and introduces us to two of her spectacular birds. First white cuddly Calypso and then beautiful exotic gray and pink, Boyd, who does his best impression of an eagle for us as Debbie raises him high and proud. āØāØ<br />

We are shown throughout the house. Debbieās room is also the dog's room as she is leader of the pack and they go everywhere momma goes. There are great pics on the walls of dogs and a wolf dog, who have gone over the rainbow bridge and Debbie together when she lived in Beverly Hills. A beautiful, long-haired, Belgian Teverun, an older dog by the name of ZoĆ«teke, brushes my side to be petted over and over grabbing a piece of my heart which I fully allow her to keep. I learn she is one of the only dogs left who originally came from the Beverly Hills home with Debbie to the ranch so many years ago now. <br />

There are three large bird cages in the den and two smaller cages in the living room. In the living room one cage holds two bright turquoise-blue Love birds who are hatching a baby in their nesting area. The other I gravitate to like a magnate as my eyes fall on two delicate, little gray doves. Quickly I relay to her the story about my taupe, ring neck doves who visit my garden. Debbie explains these two gray doves are relatives of the ring neck variety and then says, āThese doves are yours!ā I was shocked... frozen... speechless... did a double take looking at her, then back to the doves and back to her again realizing... yes her incredibly generous heart showing... she was not kidding... she meant it. I ran it through my mind. Oh how wonderful it would be to see these two beautiful doves daily and listen to them coo along with my visiting doves who habitat my garden. Then sigh as I respond, āI have two cats.ā That is so not conducive to happy dove living. I picture Niko with gray feathers in his mouth. Sigh again... shake my head... deciding no... that would not be good at all. So the gift of the doves remains at the Painted Desert Ranch. Thank you Debbie for your incredibly kind offer, something I will never forget. <br />
<br />
āØāØThe main reason for todayās visit and the highlight of this spectacular day is meeting Remington. Yes Remington aka Satin Kisses... the diva star! Just the sweetest tempered gorgeous buckskin with a black mane. Her coloring is amazing with her dark leg markings gradually turning a buckskin and her ears perfectly outlined in black. She like all of Debbieās horses is a Quarter Horse. <br />
<br />
āØThe gang piles back into the truck with Shane along for the ride this time so I take up the third space in the back seat. Smudgy is excitedly along for the ride and very anxious to see her boyfriend, Froto, an adorable Scotty who belongs to the trainer. <br />
<br />
On the drive we pass a large herd of fat, fluffy, sheep who have been brought down from the high country. Acres and acres of flat, Antelope Valley, bottom land stretches for miles, blocked out in giant, sandy, desert rectangles over the valley floor, separated by wired fenced lines and an occasional road. This dry, Yucca Tree spotted, tumbleweed scattered scenery is a familiar sight for me as I was born and lived in Antelope Valley for several years as a child and my mother and father who I was very close to retired in the Antelope Valley area only a short drive from where I live now. I ask Debbie if she was able to see the Endeavor fly over and identify with her completely as she tells me, āYes! It flew directly over my house twice and I cried like a baby that day.ā āØāØ<br />
<br />
Soon we arrive at our destination and meet Don and Susan Winkler of D&D Halter Horses, one of two trainers that Debbie uses. Don is one of the top horse trainers in the country and clearly Debbie is close to the Winklers and assured her horses are in the best of hands receiving superior care. <br />

Smudgy gleefully jumps from the truck to greet Froto, licking and kissing him hello. They entertain us all as the joy of their reunion overflows, their tails wagging their bodies. Don and his family are barbecuing dinner, the smell wafting in the air is simply scrumptious. First we meet the miniature horses Debbie boards here. These adorable, gentle, beauties are as big as a Great Dane with little hoofs as small as a goat's. āØāØ<br />
<br />
Don leads us into a temperature controlled stable and one by one introduces us to a beautiful filly and colt; as well as very muscular show horses. He uses his skills, healthy eating and vitamins to give them rich, silky, shiny coats and large muscular legs and hind quarters. He does not use any steroids in the training process. Each one is led out and stands majestically, beautifully perking up their ears. <br />

Then finally Remington aka Satin Kisses the buckskin, star-diva is brought out for us to meet. She is magnificent... what a beauty! Her momma was a red roan and her daddy a gray. This is a very generous donation of this beautiful filly to <b>Saddle Up Therapeutic Riding Stables</b> to help raise money for their facility and animals. Satin Kisses is a $20,000 filly which will be fully halter trained for the winner of the contest. <br />

<br />
Of course if you do not have room, the knowledge or facility to care for a horse properly just remember you can always donate Satin Kisses back to <b>Saddle Up Therapeutic Riding Stables</b> to bless the children and stables. I feel that would be something that Michael would do.... it is what I intend to do if I win. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;">So join in to 'Make That Change' in Michael's memory for the children! </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b> </b>"I never have felt that people should feel that they are better than
others, simply because they just happen to possess a larger share of
material items and monetary wealth than others less fortunate. I believe
in sharing, assisting, and just lending a helping hand to people." ~
Michael Jackson.</span><br />
<br />
My mission is complete having met Satin Kisses and given her a hug. A very full day has gone by quickly. We say our goodbyes leaving Froto and the Winklers to their barbecue dinner and make our way back to Debbieās ranch. Feeling quiet and reflective I gaze out the window toward the distant snow-covered mountains. The purple fade laying low over the desert as the sun disappears and mountain tops become dark shadows, dusk now encroaching. Smudgy settles in quietly content and satisfied after seeing her dear buddy, Froto. There are so many animal names rolling around in my head, I smell like horses, and my heart is full. <br />
<br />
It has been a good day... a beautiful day... a very blessed day... and yes... a very 'Mike Like' day. <br />

Even though Debbie never receives mail at her house... it was miraculously hand delivered to her door the day Magnus left this world. Debbie was so touched and moved, literally brought to tears by this incredible and generous gift and the amazing way it arrived to her hands at the absolutely perfect moment... surely a divine appointment.<br />There are no mistakes...

<span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl"><br />As this is the first year for this event we are learning as we go. The lanterns can not be sold to the fans on the beach so they will now have to be purchased ahead of time. <br /><br />Luminary lantern's for this Santa Monica event includes the decorative, die cut, flame retardant, luminary lantern and 2 LED lights. </span></span><span data-measureme="1"><span class="null">The price of each Lantern is
$5.00. This covers the cost of each lantern + the 2 led lights, the
shipping that was charged at the time I purchased them, taxes, Paypal
fees, and Paypal's conversion fees.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b>There are only 200 lanterns available for purchase on a first come first serve basis. I have received so many requests from those around the world who want to take part in the sale of the lanterns. So it has been opened up for everyone whether you are attending or not to purchase a lantern, when those 200 have been purchased the Paypal account for this event will be closed. Feel free to purchase a lantern and be represented at this event where ever you live!! </b><br />
