CLOSING EPISODE: OZZIE
Hello folks, Ozzie here, wrapping up season 6 of our On The Call series. Thank you so much for letting us into your homes and ears during these truly extraordinary times. This has been a very emotional season as it was about memorializing those five dear friends -Glenn, Leon, Jenevieve, Charlo and Zoe, who passed last fall 2021, during our 5th season interspersed by those who lifted me. And still during this season with more people transcending, it has been quite a traumatic time, even amidst the many blessings I’ve experienced: my new Best Seller book (via https://www.facebook.com/amentosweetspots my Best Actress award, top of show bookings, my new manager, my new grandson and collaboration with Voodo Fe.

Last but not least, I thank you, Antorne aka Dominus Vir, my right hand and partner for all you have done these past few years; Sheryl Davies, also my agents, IG & FB supporters and staunch friends and family, even those experiences that had been negative, as they are lessons.
So until March 2023, before we are quickly forgotten in the dust heap of history, LIVE life NOT minimally, but remember life without limits is life without significance. So, reach out to others, give thanks daily for the first breath of the day, find those things and people that uplift you and stretch your spine. APPRECIATE! Thank those in your life before it’s too late and for the little and big gifts. Safe and Happy New Year and stay on the sunny side of the street. Cheers!
