Brandy - In My Own Little Corner Music Video

In My Corner

Yes, I am alone in my own corner minding my own business. Keeping away from all danger of what is going on in the outside world.

I know I will eventually have to come out that corner in that chair I don't have, but right now I will check to see if I can find this movie that I like for free or pay for it on the streaming movie platforms.

I remember the first Roger & Hammerstein "Cinderella" that I saw with Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella,  I thought I would meet that Prince that would come and rescue me from my conventional life. Oh, I did meet someone at my young age, but he was not a Prince but a hard-working man.

I have seen other versions of Cinderella but by far this one with Brandy as Cinderalla brought me to tears. Another version that I like is non-musical "Ever After" Cinderella with Drew Barrymore. Thank you Disney World of Movies for showing that we all can find that Prince in any cultural ethnic group.


Found this version streaming from Youtube to rent or purchase

Enjoy your weekend.

You is smart, you is kind, you is important

We are all important...



With all that is going on in America today, we need kindness, smartness, and important people to treat each person as they want to be treated.  I love this movie because it shows that we sometimes make decisions to do something to someone else base on what is going on in our lives. Rather the decision we make is right or wrong, those decisions will affect a person's life and what decision they make for themselves.



This is a racially motivated movie and I am a person who doesn't like the word "racism". I know a lot of people may not see this movie as a non-inspiring movie, but in this clip, it shows how much this woman loves that little girl giving her important words to remember. It also shows that black people were in the homes raising those kind, smart, important children. We have a purpose in this life to give one another the kindness, respect, love, and help we all need to live a peaceful and content life.



In conclusion, I pray that our government gives people of America the kindness, smartness, and important decision to give the help we all need.

A Patch of Blue (1965)

A patch of Blue clip "I hate this world"



The feeling Selina express in this movie came from years of mistreatment from her mother and uncle. Once she became friends with a person she could not see and he treated her with dignity and kindness she begins to recognize the difference of how she was being treated.



Today, people need to be blind so they can see the character of a person and not judge anyone by their feature. It seems that racism is returning in our people all over the world, or maybe it never left the people's attitudes and they hide their real feeling. Whatever is going on in this world today we need to use our common sense and treat people as you would want to be treated. I am a person who has great faith in God and I know in my heart when we die, God doesn't see any difference in us all. We all are humans that have too many differences that need changing. God made us all humans with only one difference in our skin tone.



In conclusion, we need to progress into a better future and evolve to what God loves about us that we are all created for a purpose in life.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner trailer

Guest Who's Coming to Dinner



This movie represents what was face with racial problems during that time. As of today, we have more interracial marriage where these marriages deal with more scrutiny from the black and white race. I remember when I was in North Dakota in 1976, I met an interracial couple and I spoke to them. They asked me why did I speak to them and I told them I was happy to see them together. It really made me think about this movie. They were so happy that I spoke to them, they took me and my husband out to dinner.



Mr. Sidney Poitier was an academy award winner, which is a great accomplishment during that time. I understand that some streaming platform will be removing any racial issue movies or cartoons. I can't understand why they would do that because this is history within itself. I pick this movie because it does use racial language, however, the character Mr. Poitier played said one thing in this movie that means a lot today, " you think of me as a color man, I think of me as a man".



Mr. Poitier, I really want to thank you for all your accomplishments as a black actor making waves for other black actors and actresses to succeed in their life goals. It means more to us simple everyday working people to achieve our goals being a person of color.



If streaming platforms start removing these old movies that deal with racial issues and you like these old movies as I do, I recommend that you start your own library from Youtube to enjoy.



Another favorite that Mr. Poitier acted in is Patches of Blue. A movie of empathy and caring for another human being regardless of the color of there skin.



Rent or purchase from Youtube.

Nat King Cole The Very Thought of You lyrics

The very thought of you



This is an old but goodie that I love. When you see the places you have been which I think to myself I see God's face in all the flowers I see. I vision God's eyes like the stars in the sky. The very thought of the Creator of this earth makes you know life is beautiful all around us. Nothing lasts

 forever, but God will always be forever.



I hope this song cheers the spirit of your soul.
