SUNSHINE & OLIVIER: 20th Anniversary Edition by Melony McGant 

Reviewed by PATRICIA MOORE, Librarian, Brooklyn Public Library 

"Sunshine & Olivier is a poignant tale of deep friendship, characterized by a LOVE that surpasses understanding. It is a coming of age story where the lives of teenagers, Sunshine and Olivier, intertwine and collide through no fault of their own. Little do they know; their lives have been orchestrated based on an elaborate lie. A lie framed by their own families; A lie meant to inspire LOVE!

Sunshine & Olivier will intrigue young adult readers as they follow the lives of Sunshine & Olivier during Sunshine’s annual Summer visit to Harlem. What they discover will impact their lives forever. 

Can they forgive themselves or their families?  Will a new truth, that is a lie bear fruit?  Only the magnificence of the author's creativity will tell."  

-Patricia Moore, Librarian, BPL

Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Beautiful People,

Right Here Now... 

Beyond the questioning or knowing, as you watch the sun set or the moon rise and kiss the stars... 

In the twilight or early morning dawn as the sun awakens you... 

Let Us Give Thanks to Our Blessed Creator who Lives in Our Hearts and everywhere throughout the MultiVerse.

Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Love is the Creator's Gift to all who Believe, Embrace the Mystery and See Beauty in the Soul Journey of Every Heart.

Love is the place of Integrity where yesterday and tomorrow merge into Now.

Love is letting go of notions of false superiority, envy, greed, jealousy and hate.

Love is walking in Peace and sharing compassion, offering hope and tender words to yourself and others so that you let go of old fears and heal hearts with Forgiveness, including your own heart.

Only when we believe that Love does not harm, is not selfish and does not envy will we experience the bliss of life.

Then we will feel Love in our hearts, taste it in our food, see it in the skies, the oceans, and the blossoming flowers and trees as they bloom and awaken in the New Day.

The moment we are willing to live our destiny as beings of Love, and know that Love is the Creator's most Precious Gift, then we will be able to genuinely Love Our Neighbors and Offer Our Best so that together we Prosper with Joy.

In this moment, Right Now is the opportunity to Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love.... 

Today, How Will You Live and Honor the Creator in this Moment of Eternity?

Please Re-Member to Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Believe. Breathe.Live.  Love.

Always, Melony  👑💜👑

I Believe In YOU!

Beautiful People, 

Breathe Deeply Six Times and Listen to the Voice that Says...

"I Believe In You!". 

"I Believe In You" is both a whisper and a roar that awakens and inspires us to live with Integrity.

It is the Lullaby of Hope that Grandparents and Mothers and Fathers and Aunts and Uncles sing to Children.

A May Love Note from Melony!

Beautiful People,  

Can you imagine, it’s already May? 

Please Join Me and take a moment to let our MotherEarthHeart feel our Loving resolve to Accept, Respect, and Nurture Each Other.

Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.  

Let Love be felt throughout every organ of the body, and let us open our total beings so that we become Love’s essence.

Now, let us honor the beauty of our entire sentient family including the birds, the dolphins, the  horses, the lions, the elephants and all sentients across the planet.

Let us rejoice as the clouds burst with rain, and we feel the impact of  monumental oceans, rivers and mountains.

Let us Mourn and Honor All Those Precious Beings Who Have Been Lost Due to Earth's Imbalance Through Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Human Violence or Illness.   

We Hold All These Precious Beings Forever In Our Hearts and Know They Have Ascended Into the Heart of Love.

Right now feel Mother Earth’s  rejuvenation through flowers, fruits, vegetables, plants, trees, the sparkling sun, the glistening moon, twinkling stars, and the magical sky.

Right now let us forgive ourselves, and each other as we learn to release any vestiges of pain, and fear we have of each other.

Let us each take time to embrace Goodness, then let us share it with each other. Let us diligently work to create  better  economic, educational, social, political and justice systems  so that Every Child can dream, achieve and live their Good Destiny.

Let us commit to work to cure dis-ease, create Equity in every community and promote Harmony.

Today we walk with Truth and Reconciliation. We honor our Elders, and embrace our Children. 

We acknowledge ALL as beings of Love, and strive for the best outcome in every situation.

We understand that we must always  move to honor the potential and joy of a Loving Peace on our planet.

Right now, as we Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly---Let us together imagine a World where all people, all religions, and cultural traditions embrace a Universal Consciousness of  Compassion, Kindness and Love.

We acknowledge that We Are One Heart, and through that One Heart each of us is able to develop a new awareness of Mother:

Maybe

Only

The

Heart=Earth

Explains

Reason for Love…

Believe. Breathe. Live. Love.

Always, Melony 👑💖👑

Remembering #OprahLegend #KatherineDunham and the May 1st #LaBouleBlanche2006 Produced by Dr. Glory Van Scott at Riverside Church.

Remembering #OprahLegend #KatherineDunham and the May 1st #LaBouleBlanche2006 Produced by Dr.  Glory Van Scott at Riverside Church.

Dear Oprah, Gayle and JJ...

I am writing this letter of Gratitude because I once told Katherine Dunham that it was never too late to say Thank You!  

Looking back into times long past, Miss Dunham's letter to you Oprah, opened a mystical pathway that gave us all the opportunity to honor an elder and exceed her dreams.  

Thank You, each of you...For your beautiful hearts and your generous spirits!

Oprah, when you named Miss Dunham one of your LEGENDS, it was one of the happiest days of my life.  Miss Dunham shared the elegant invitation with unmitigated joy and asked me to call Dr. Glory Van Scott.   She too was thrilled!  We both knew that if Miss Dunham had One Wish, it was to meet You face to face. 

Unfortunately due to unforseen complications, Miss Dunham was not permitted to make the the journey to California.   She was very disappointed and lamented that she had been so close, but that a great opportunity had been thwarted.

And then Oprah, something shifted in the Universe.  Dr. Glory asked me to reach out to You and Gayle in 2006 and invite you to La Boule Blanche at Riverside Church in celebration of the publication of the collected writings of Katherine Dunham, KAISO! edited by Veve Clark and Sara E. Johnson. 

I personally delivered packages to O Magazine and followed up with you, JJ.  I will always remember your constant kindness and patience!

And when JJ let me know that Gayle would be attending 

La Boule Blanche on May 1st, 2006,  my heart sang with joy!  

But Gayle, you were unable to attend and sent a messenger with a personal note to give to Dr. Glory Van Scott.

It said that you were hoping to see Miss Dunham on May 11th.  Neither Dr. Glory or I knew anything about an invitation for Miss Dunham but there was JJ to the rescue to explain it was the private viewing of the LEGENDS Weekend.  

Dr. Glory was scheduled to travel with her beloved, George Wein and was unable to accompany Miss Dunham but she arranged for  Leonard Buggs to drive her.  In attendance were Madeline Preston and Eloise Anderson who both had been Dunham Company Members.

What a Miracle that Miss Dunham got her Wish before she Ascended on May 21st, 2006.  I remember that it was bittersweet watching the show on May 22nd.

Gayle, we reached out to you to help us commemorate Miss Dunham's 100 birthday celebration produced by Dr. Glory at Symphony Space in NYC,  and received a heartfelt quote for program booklet.  It is in the enclosed press kit.

Ladies, I have struggled with writing this letter of Gratitude for some time but, last Saturday, I attended the 45th Anniversary Concert of Sweet Honey In The Rock with Dr. Glory and I felt Miss Dunham somehow speaking to me from the Heavens.

When I got home I turned on the computer and looked for a photo of Oprah and Miss Dunham.  I had  searched unsuccessfully for years but now there it was before me!

The last photos before Miss Dunham Ascended! WOW!  What a Beautiful Blessing! What a Remarkable Memory!  

 Enclosed is a signed copy of GLORY: A Life Among Legends by Dr. Glory Van Scott.  I am so happy to have journeyed with her as she wrote this book.  Before he Ascended,  Gil Noble told Dr. Glory that it ought to be a movie.  I'm holding that vision too.

Sandra Bookman recently interviewed her on ABC7's Here and Now in NYC.  It is available online.

Like you, Oprah, Gayle and JJ...  

Dr. Glory Van Scott is a woman of compassion and integrity.  She wrote GLORY so that many would be acknowledged and remembered. It is a tapestry of her life. 

I am doing my best to share her story with many and am open to your suggestions!

With Gratitude and Respect, 

Melony
