The Experience Of A Drumline! & So Much More!

Hello World,

There's an expression in the U.S.- 'It ain't over till the big lady sings.'-In this case it's just the beginning, and no one fits the pun. The 5th Annual, "Battle In the Apple" drumline, dance and step competition in New York will kick off with a free gospel concert featuring the largely talented and inspirational sounds of the Virgina University Gospel Chorale. Thursday, March 17, 2011 at Grace Deliverance Tabernacle. Doors open 6:30pm at 650 Remsen Avenue, corner of Avenue A in Brooklyn, N.Y. Tickets are mandatory. Go to www.battleintheapplefreeconcert.eventbright.com or call (347)264-4069.

The "Battle In the Apple" main event takes place on this Saturday, March 19, and Sunday, March 20th, 2011. Beats are going to be down in the Baruch College Gymnasium. Doors open 5pm at 55 Lexington Avenue at the corner of 23rd Street. Over 500 participants, including high school students from all five boroughs of New York City, New Jersey and Long island will compete on these two days! Tickets are $20 in advance. Go to www.battleintheapple.eventbrite.com to reserve your seats.

Mr. Ty Brown is the event organizer. "This year's "Battle in the Apple" has a certain special feeling in the air. I feel so proud when I hear from all the coaches how serious and focused their kids are in practice," Mr. Brown commented. In creating this year's event Mr. Brown wanted nothing more than to showcase and promote the talents of the youth participating in the event, as indicated by release; Budget cuts to music and art classes in schools have resulted in fewer opportunities to participate in courses at school. By taking part in "Battle In the Apple" these teams and organizations are able to raise much needed funds to keep programs alive. The dance, step and music programs are a vital part of their lives, and provide a healthy, safe, fun atmosphere in which they learn and gain confidence.

Go experience a drumline, and as you've read, so much more. Be inspired to support the following teams and organizations listed below. Be Excited. Be Blessed!

Get UP! Stand UP! DANCE!!!!

My name is Melanie Shaleya Lewis and I am the founder of ThresholdWorld. This blog was started out of my personal perseverance to make a change in my life for others. I faithfully danced in the height of my unpaid work, while personal circumstances challenged me. I became inspired by a word gift from above and acted on it! Hence today! -You are reading, I am writing and experiencing what I never thought or imagined. That's a quick recap of this blogs beginning. You can view the very first post from December 2009 in the archives. My passion to serve comes from my father Jesus Christ who died for the world to be free from a life of mess and continuance of it after death. Take it or leave it for what that means for you. Transformational thinking, living, and speaking will determine your fate; I pray you choose a positive threshold in your personal world. ThresholdWorld is a space to learn ideas, information and inspiration to spur your life into transformative action! I write of...

Blessed by Nature!

Today I went to my favorite spot in the world thus far. The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens has always been my best place to think, dream, and plan. I like this picture as it captures me in the moment. Soaking it all in. The beauty surrounds me. I love it! I am greatful to have such a lovely place as this garden in my community. View www.bbg.org for yourself and visit a garden in your community. If none, build it and they will come. :) Escape for a moment. Be blessed by nature!

Sparkle and Create!

Hello World. This was a very busy week. Thank God it's Friday. I want to share two nice video's with you; especially since I didn't communicate yesterday. If you had diamonds on the soles of your shoes, would it inspire you to get up and go? Use it as a metaphor. Are you working on something that may seem hard. Well, be diligent and make it beautiful! Be creative with some of life's tasks; Add some spark. Inspire yourself!
