A Tale of Two Birds

Recently I saw two cardinals. A male and female and I was awestruck.  Not because I saw the cardinal, although, seeing one should be a gleeful reminder of the miracles in the world around us, but I was awestruck because it was the first time I'd ever seen a pair...together!

I believe God uses the sight of this particular bird to communicate with me.  It began our way of communicating years ago, so when I see one, it's not out of the ordinary, rather, it's quite ordinary for me.  It's my constant reminder of goodness, mercy and favor available to me at any given moment.  But this time...seeing the cardinal "partnered" I wasn't sure what it meant, all I know is that it signified something BIG, something meaning 'double!' It has to!

It was quite significant since I was leaving a meeting that was a pretty big deal with a woman by my side, who by all accounts, is a pretty big deal. So I KNEW it meant something very meaningful.  I was stuck in 'awe' for at least 5 minutes that seemed like 10 or 15 because those birds paraded themselves so gloriously allowing my business acquaintance and I to experience their presence and remark how unusual it was to find them in such an odd place.  We both acknowledged the significance of the moment and claimed it as evidence of BIG things and "Double" victories to come! Stay tuned (Big Smile!)

So in the spirit of "Big" and "Double", I share with you the great accomplishments of our client, Mrs. Linda Cox, an author and humanitarian who's been given her fair share of goodness, mercy and favor - and RIGHTFULLY so!

Author & Humanitarian, Linda Cox

Linda is the author of the children's book They Had to Run, which tells the real-life story of her Rwandan friends Simon and Kedress Nizramakenga.  Having had to escape the early rumblings as orphans of what became known as the Rwandan Genocide, Simon and Kedress returned to their native land as adults helping to build restoration in Rwanda and their partnership with Linda, her family and friends, they created the nonprofit organization, One Hundred Days, which is dedicated to helping to rebuild Rwanda, namely, through the construction of the first pediatric hospital in that region.

We are grateful to all of the wonderful media partnerships they have garnered the past couple of months and wish to share their accomplishments with you.

All About The Parties!

I think I got my sexy back, no I'm SURE I've got my sexy back! Let's just say we've been getting it in like we were 25 again, well at least I was and that was NOT the business! Getting home at 5am and taking 5 hours to recover is NOT cute, although it was fun though! :)


We kicked off the mid-week with the fabulous Renee Knorr, model, mentor and fashion and beauty director of the 19th Hole Magazine at the LuXe Lifestyle series at Aurum Lounge. This month's  LuXe Lifestyle honored those in fashion, photography and entertainment.  Among the honorees was Lil G from the R&B Group, Silk, Celebrity Photographer & Film Producer Leo Marshall, HGTV's "Design Wars" star Michael Habachy and Atlanta native Rafael Cox who was cast for Season 9 of Project Runway. Aurum is very beautiful - definitely a night for those who love living the glamorous life and a great spot for tourists and visitors! Next month the LuXe Lifestyle partners Renee Knorr and Andre Hill of AH Entertainment will do it again, so stay tuned!

Here are a few shots for you:

Friday night was the grand opening of radio personality, Frank Ski of the Frank & Wanda Morning Show, new restaurant, Frank Ski's.  The atmosphere was very chic, upscale and lots of people attended.  Ski treated everyone to fish tacos and chicken skewers and an open bar the first two hours of the night. Flossin' eh? Enjoyed it! :)  Check out the review and pictures on Word of Mouth's Tara's blog!

And we kept it going until Sunday with the kick-off of the Falcon's first home game against Michael Vick...I mean the Eagles.  Jersey Girl Sports hosted their football 101 for women, 1st & Flirty. Talk about FUN TIMES!  Brandi & Karli Harvey of Young, Fit & Fly and the dynamic twins of radio personality, bestselling author and media conglomerate, Steve Harvey, co-hosted and let me tell you, comedy runs in the family!  We had tons of fun - the women and men enjoyed themselves and we even had a surprise visit from relationship expert, Dr. Alduan Tartt who's in the October issue of Essence Magazine giving us some relationship wisdom. Oh, it was soooo much fun, he wasn't ready for all the touchdowns the women gave connecting relationships to sports - #FlagonThePlay Dr. :)

Media, Media & MORE Media!

It's been a great month for clients of T.MORRISON AGENCY as we launched into the month of August, which astrologically, is calling for Mercury to be in Retrograde much of the month, which means communication will be delayed or snarled and even garbled. But for us, communication is actually what we're all about this month!

Starting off, Jersey Girl Sports, an online multimedia lifestyle brand for female sports fans, the hottest online sports and web TV destination created for women by women was on CBS Better Mornings giving ladies a play-by-play of football now that we know we will have an NFL Season.  The ladies will host their Atlanta-based 1st & Flirty at Hudson Grille on September 18th with celebrity athletes and other Atlanta's who's who. Tickets are only $20, so ladies let's get our Football on!

Ming Gregory of Color Blind International got her spotlight in the Fall issue of Sheen Magazine (p.47), a national publication dedicated to discussing issues from the African-American woman's perspective.  Ming dishes on Interracial dating and why she believes love really is color blind, so pick up your copy today!

Also, Dr. Nathaniel Johnson, celebrity cosmetic surgeon based in Atlanta is featured in Nip Notes of Sheen Magazine where he outlines the points to keep in mind when looking for a cosmetic surgeon (p.45). Dr. Johnson is also featured in this month's Kraze Magazine with the ever-so-sexy Romeo on the front cover and Kore Magazine's "Skin & Beauty" issue respectively with the sexy Lance Gross on the front cover! Dr. Johnson continues to enlighten us on how to go about enhancing our assets and such in both magazines and he should know since he's Atlanta's #1 rated celebrity cosmetic surgeon!
