PURPLE RAIN

Hello, my dearest friends, followers, supporters and readers, today I thought I would write a post
In memory and honor of the artist, songwriter, singer, musician, arranger and instrumentalist of some many I lost count. I was in shock when I heard the news on Thursday  21, 2016, It seems like we are loosing so many great singer, songwriters of this century. As least I know that  in heaven, they are have a huge band of everyone with the most amazing music of all the souls of this brilliant musicians that are now all in heaven making beautiful music. One day we will all be there to listen to that music. Anyway I love his music and I have for many years. So I wanted to honor his life and his love for music & for songwriting and instrumentalist too.
Prince Rogers Nelson was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer and actor. Prince was renowned as an innovator and was widely known for his eclectic work and flamboyant stage presence and wide vocal rage which was amazing. He was widely regarded as the pioneer of Minneapolis sound. His music integrates a wide variety of styles, including funk, rock, R&B, soul, hip hop,
disco, psychedelia, jazz and pop.
Prince Rogers Nelson Nelson
Born June 7, 1958, in Minneapolis, MN
Sadly Died April 21, 2016
Height 5'2''
Spouse Manuela Testolini Married from 2001-2006
Spouse Mayte Garcia Married 1996-1999
Partner Bria Valente since 2007
I child born 1996 Died 1week 1996 Boy Gregory Nelson.
Prince was amazing at playing the guitar. He could play it just like Carlos Santana
or Jimi Hendrix, sing like James Brown, turn out pop melodies worthy of Motown and sing the 
deepest grooves like know one ever could then switching his vocals from a nasally scream to a
falsetto, or turning out albums after album of stunning innovative material Prince's dazzlingly talented and charismatic singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist who sadly died on Thursday April 21, 2016 at his home drew upon the history of modern popular music and created a gender and genre defying blend of rock, funk and soul. Some of just a few of the millions of hits including '1999' - 'Purple Rain'- and Little Red Corvette'. Just these three hits, Prince records sold more than 100 million copies and earned him Grammys and a Academy Award for music. Prince who was a Minneapolis native stood just 5 feet, 2 inches, yet even with his some height he was very large inside and out. He made a powerful & visual impact on everyone that he meet and everyone that saw him one the screen meaning T.V and many Concerts and movies like that of Purple Rain.( Which is one of my favorite all time movies) I loved the 80's mostly because that was the time of my 20's and MTV ear the good time when it was just Video's of music and that was it. I remember watching it when I would visit my parents with my brother. My brother and I loved the show. When they change it and took all the

video's away and started putting other stuff on It wasn't the same and I really don't watch it anymore but in the day it was Awesome!!! That was the dawn of the age when Prince made his powerful impact on MTV in the 80s Along with Michael Jackson too. Prince was a wonderful different with his openly erotic lyrics that made him one of the most sexually darning artist of the era. I don't thing there will every be one ever one like him again. I will miss him very much. Later with other albums that he rewrote the rulebook in music by forging a synthesis of black funk and white rock that served as a blueprint for the cutting edge in his music in the 80s dedicated him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -"Albums 'Sign O' the Times,' Graffiti Bridge' & The Black Album.''
Prince made the dance music that rocked the 80's that had a bristling, funky backbone to it. From the very beginning Prince and his music were androgynous, sly, sexy and provocative. But well all love it! He will be miss so very much. His publicist Yvette Noel-Schure did confirm for the public that the legendary icon performer had died at his home in the morning of the 21 at his home at Paisley Park.

No details about the caused of his death has been released . Prince did postponed a concert in Atlanta on April 7, saying that he had fallen ill with the flu. and he had apologized to his fans during a makeup concert last week. I am not going to talk about the autopsy I figure you all could find that on your own. Me I want to celebrate his life not his death.
So many folks love Prince from the very famous to just simple folks like us doing blogs like us... Mick Jagger was among the numerous musicians, actors and other public figures praising the artist, tweeting  him too. Prince's talent was limitless/timeless. He was one of the most unique and talented artists of the last 30years." Even Madonna had called him saying he is a true visionary. While Oprah Winfrey tweeted: 'Prince the doves really are crying now. Listening to your music. Remembering you" Then there was even President Barack Obama - for whom Prince was a White House guest last year-released a statement saying he and his wife 'joined millions of fans from around the world' mourning  Prince sudden death.
'Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent," said Obama. "A strong spirit transcends rules,' Prince once said - and nobody spirit was stronger, bolder or creative than his!' 
PURPLE RAIN
He was Born as Prince Rogers Nelson, Yet in the late 1970s he was breaking hits already 'Why you
Wanna Treat Me So Bad?' & 'I Wanna Be Your Lover,' and soared over the following decade with such albums as '1999' and the so poplar 'Purple Rain'. The Title song from '1999' his funky and flippant anthem about an oncoming nuclear holocaust, includes one of the most quoted refrains of popular culture. 'Tonight I'm gonna part like it's 1999.' He later won seven Grammys and received an Academy Award in 1985 for his music from the movie "Purple Rain'-(note I tried to find the movie for you all but I couldn't get it on YouTube in its full without having to pay for it.)
Then in 2004 Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame, which hailed him as a Musical and social Trailblazer.
He also made his acting debut in 'Purple Rain' by playing a sexy androgynous young musician on the cusp of fame. The film amplified Prince's popularity and was a box-office success with $68million in ticket sales. Besides winning the Oscar for the Original Song Score, the song 'Purple Rain' Soundtrack won Grammys fro its writing and performance too. The film received mixed reviews, But Roger Ebert called it 'ONE OF THE BEST COMBINATIONS I'VE SEEN OF MUSIC AND DRAMA'.
Over the years in his career he started to become fiercely protective of his independence, battling his record company over the control of his material lyrics and even his name. Anxious to get out of his contract with Warner Bros. He identified himself by a key-like symbol with an unpronounceable name.. Brilliant in my opinion The Journalists and news people called him 'TAFKAP' OR 'THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS PRINCE' Prince also once wrote 'SLAVE ON HIS FACE IN PROTEST OF NOT OWNING HIS OWN MUSIC AND FAMOUSLY FOUGHT AND THEN DEPARTED WARNER, BEFORE RETURNING A FEW YEARS AGO.
So you all are probably wondering what happened? or how are things now just before he died. He told the Associated Press in 2014, that he is in the position that he's always wanted to be in.
So now I thought I would give you a little of Prince pass up bringing. Music was always in his blood. Prince father played in a Jazz band in Minneapolis, under the name 'Prince Rogers,' and his mother was the singer. The precocious young Prince taught himself to play the piano at the tender age of only 7, the guitar at 13 and the drums at 14. But his home life was also very trouble life for him. Well, you see his parent separated when he was at a tender age of 10, and Prince who ended up with six other sibling and half siblings moved back and forth between the homes of his mother and father. Because this he
A young Prince at 20
had a very hard childhood and worked hard to get on his own. In 1978, when he turned 20years old. He debuted with the album 'For you'. It was a declaration, if nothing else, that he could do anything; He wrote and sang the material & served as his own one man band on his guitar, bass, drums, synthesizers, chimes and assorted other instruments. The album received mixed reviews, but his second album ---called 'Prince' --sold more than a million copies and launched his run of hit albums and singles over the next few years. Prince didn't become a star in his own right. Like everyone he had to pay his dues. He was a veritable music factory, whether with side projects, such as Vanity and Morris Day and The Time, or the songs he wrote for others Sinead O'Connor had a hit with Nothing Compares 2U,' while other covers included Cyndi Lauper 'When You Were Mine' The Bangles and Manic Monday...
About 200+ fans had gathered by Thursday afternoon outside Paisley Park, Prince home and music studio, where his gold records are on the walls and purple motorcycle he rode in "Purple Rain' is on display. The sprawling white, stone building is surrounded by a fence in Chanhassen a city about 20 miles southwest of Minneapolis. He always had this message and his closes friends would say this about him, 'HE WAS CALLED PRINCE ' A BEAUTIFUL PERSON WHOSE MESSAGE WAS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER.'

Hello I know its been quite a while since I've been on my blog my
dear friends,followers &viewers too. But I have had a rough couple months. As
promised, I would keep yu all updated when I had some new news, on my sinse infection. It would seem that after, all the meds and now going to a ear nose and eye doctor, that the only option other than doing nothing and just dealing with the nasal presser for the rest of my life is surgery. They took a cat scan of my face and it seems that my nose is kinda a mess inside. You see when I was about 10yearss old, my sis and I kinda crashed into each other. I never thought about it. When I looked at my scan my nose is so cricked and the area so thin for air to get through this is why I am having so much trouble. So I will be off for a bit longer so sorry. but I hope by May I will be back I am having it done in late April... love you all I hope you all have found all my almost 900 posts too keep you all interested while I am gone I love you all
Your Wendy.

MyGoal for2017

MyGoal for2017
Good evening my dearest friends, followers and viewers.
I thought I would share my weight loss goals! I believe I started when I
began this blog...It was a photograph that did it for me! Now I understand
why my lower back, neck and knees would always hurt, if I would do just a little
bit of exercise. Also if I would go to the market or just walking in the mall. I could
barely walk that far without being in a lot of pain in my lower back that I would have
to stop and always take rest-stops. The biggest thing that got me
was when I had to put my 501's away in storage. My shirts, shoes, and blouses too.
I couldn't fix in anything I owned. My husband being the dear that he is
went with me to the store to help me get clothes that I could fix in. It was
the worst day in my live...I was always a size 6-8 being only 5' tall most of my life.
Now in my 50's I have shorten to my great grandma nana' height 4' ll''. So it was
very difficult to find out that I had grown to a size 22. I truly understand what
women of size go through. And of all people go through trying to loose weight too!
It isn't easy at all...This is the reason why I decided to do this post, to try to help others.
I truly believe my weight gain was caused by a few reasons:
These are some of the reasons that I have thought of...
1-My depression, anxieties and panic attacks starting in 2006-7
2-Taking medication for so many years-since 2005 to present.
3-Cancer at 45years old...Lots of Meds and Chemo
4-Early full hysterectomy at only 46 to prevent my cancer coming back
These are just a few that I have thought of...
I'm not complaining. Really I'm blessed to be alive and happy too. It took a lot
of therapy; Mary1 since 2007-2009 then Mary2 therapy since 2010 to present...
So after looking at the photo decided I had to do something! Besides I couldn't fit
into any of my clothes. I had to put them all in storage. The kicker for me; I
discovered that I was heavier than when I was pregnant with my son
[weighting at 165-170 pounds] ouch!
weight 180 2014


How I started?
We got this thing called the 'Nutri-Bullet'. It is my key to losing weight. I couldn't
afford to join one of those fancy programs like that of weight watchers or many
others that are out there. I needed something easy and a free program to loss weight.
So my husband said to me lets try the Nutri-Bullet and we started in the spring of
2015. It hasn't been easy but losing weight never is...You have to make it a life style.
When I started this journey I had no idea how hard this journey would be and how heavy
I had gotten over the years. 
I think another trigger was; A couple of months before I had a bad panic attack and had to go to
the ER. When you are there they want to know your weight. My husband had been keeping
track and a log for me. So I didn't know it till that night which wasn't a good night. As you might tell that didn't
help my situation.
So I had to look at my husband about my
weight and I was very sad...the truth was told. After that he took me aside and said to me that
I had done very well, considering what I had weight before. He had told me that I had lost
35 pounds since we started the shakes of fruits and vegetables. And lite lunches no sugar to lite.
He told me that I had started at almost 180pounds; lost 35pounds; and now weight 146pounds...
not to bad! So only 31 pounds to go. It hasn't been easy but I would try this because it works!
And its healthily too. As for me I would make just the shakes with fruit and fresh or frozen
 vegetables. I usually have one for breakfast and other for lunch. I cut out almost all sugars. And grains.
2015 weight 147
In the summer of 2015 I visited my parents. It is this trip that also gave me a hard look at myself. Even though I have a wonderful time and I love and miss my family so very much. I found that I couldn't do much of the activity's like I would do before. This was very hard on my soul. When I got my photo's back from the trip it made me work harder that year.
Aug 2016 weight 145
Then in the summer of 2016 again we visited my family but this time I was able to walk longer and have much more fun doing things with my camera and the family without pain. It was all do to the weight on my small frame...

I also was able to get down to a size large shirt and large pants...They are still stretch pants but at least they are getting smaller. Over the almost 3years you could say I have found a new way of eating too. You see over the years I have found that I've also got a problem with digesting my food. So all these greens are good for me anyways. I the summer of 2016 I felt so much better. In the photo above I was coming back from the ocean taking photos...My stomach was much smaller too. And I could get around easier. I think the new hair cut helped.
December 2016
weight 140
However in December of 2016 I break the goal and I am on my way...I love to actually look at myself which I haven't been able to do that in quite awhile. I ask my husband to take a photo of me just so I could know what my hair would look like so when I need to get a hair cut again.
I had no idea that it would change the goal again...
And I would have the confidence to put it on my blog...
So here I am in 2017 at 140 pounds looking good...I have only
25 pounds to go! I may take the whole Year...But I hope I can do it.
It would be 3years that I have been on this journey...To loose 180 pounds to
goal of 115pounds...Which is a loss of 65pounds.
I will be updating this post as I loose weight through the year...
Please stay with me on my journey my dears. I also hope that my goals
may help any of you too! love You all WENDY...
