Please take the time to log onto trealee.com, click on S~Factor, register and that’s it! Let me know what you think of the story and share it with your friends. It is my plan to grow this site into a launching pad for other aspiring poets, singers, writers etc. to show what you can do. I will keep you updated on that as we get closer to developing the “Artist Showcase” of S~Factor.

So again, take the time to check out S~Factor and read, Meantime…, the first of many to come. I’m already working on the next one which will really make you say “Oh no she didn’t!” Until…enjoy!

I had the pleasure and opportunity to appear on Urban Update (Channel 7 affliation), to promote the March 21st concert for Haiti as well as perform. It was my first time on a major television show at my favorite News Station, Channel 7. I had a ball. I’m also grateful for having such great people on the show with me who are all sponsors and supporters of the concert. Thank you so much to JoHonda Rogers (DST), Janet Williams (AKA), and Chris Charlot (Tamboo) and big ups to Brian Clarke (producer of Urban Update) and Alberto Vasallo (Urban Update host). We had a ball today and from my “mouth” to yours, the Channel 7 crew members are soooooooo friendly. Hey Adam! Not that he’s going to read this blog LOL.

I’m expecting only great things to transpire from this Urban Update show and for the Haiti relief concert. Please, please, please come out and support the event. The flyer is on my website under my blog and I will keep you posted on the Urban Update show and when it will air.

It’s Friday and I can’t wait to get my weekend started after such a splendid day. We’re only going up from here!!!

Well you guessed it…I absolutely hate snow. I’m not one who gets all caught up in the beauty of it or who wants to take pictures of it or make snow angels, I’m the one who wants the snow gone. My biggest obstacle is, I can’t escape the snow since I live in snow central, New England. So what’s a girl to do? Move or just bear it? I’m still here so I guess I’m trying to bear it

Calgon, take me away to the warmest climate possible where the beaches are covered with warm sand that flows between my toes. Take me to a place where shorts and a tank top seem too much for the hot sun beaming down on my skin. Take me to a place where the sweetest drink cools my mouth with every sip and makes me just a little nice, not too much though. I want to relax and enjoy the warm breeze while watching the waves from the crystal blue water sway back and forth. What a wonderful sight to see…but why the heck am I still here? I guess the Calgon thing only works for television commercials. Awww fiddle sticks…

Oh well back to reality…enjoy the snow and be safe!

Since the earthquake in Haiti, everyone’s awareness has been peeked so to speak. We see all types of events to raise money or donate items for the cause, which is wonderful and a true blessing. My question is though, once it “dies” down, will the need to help or the awareness of the hardships in Haiti die down as well? It’s sad to say, but I think so many of us will forget or maybe I should say not pay close attention anymore because we have probably already done our part to “help”. Hopefully, I’m wrong in saying this.

Granted, life must go on and we have to continue doing what is necessary for our own lives, but let’s not forget about the pain of others. Of course we may not be able to donate loads of clothing or thousands of dollars on a regular basis, but let’s try to remain conscious of what is going on. If we can’t do anything else but pray or speak a positive word in the atmosphere or give of ourselves in some type of way, then let’s make it happen.

In our efforts of giving to Haiti, let’s make an effort to look at the people in close proximity to us as well. There are so many people suffering all over and many times they are overlooked also because they don’t fit into our life or lifestyles. Just remember this; greater blessings come from helping somebody else along the way. Take a minute to visit a homeless shelter, a food bank, a battered woman’s safe house, the cancer unit or anywhere that there is a need. I’m a living witness that a smile, a hug, a hand shake or just a kind word goes a long way. In some type of way we all need help, some of us more than others, but no man is an island and giving of your time and love will go a long way.

Much love…

 I’m personally inviting you to come meet me at Tamboo, 252 Main Street in Brockton, MA at 5pm to 8pm.

 I’m honored and humbled by their support and everyone else who supports my work. This will give you the chance to hang out with me to hear my thoughts and reasons behind my work. I’ll also be signing books as well as selling them so please come out and join me. It would be my pleasure to meet you in person.

Major, major thank you that I have to get out that was an oversight on last evening. I have to thank my good friend and publicist, David Johnson, who is an important part of Team Tre Alee. He is the person responsible for my website, www.trealee.com, and all other major behind the scenes media that is done on a daily basis. He takes on my projects as if they were his own and puts more than enough into his work for me. I couldn’t ask for a better person to help me get to the next level. If it weren’t for God touching his heart to help me progress, I would not have gotten to this next level. I’m so grateful that he is on my team! So David, please blame my oversight on my head and not my heart. I love and appreciate you big time!!!!!!

I also want to thank Jerome Kyles again for coming out and doing his thing for my event. I appreciate he and his crew for coming out.

Okay well keep your eyes open for the next big thing. Again thank you all for everything! Tre Alee won’t and cannot stop! Lets go!!!!!!!

There is absolutely no need for you to sit at home this Saturday when you can be out enjoying a FREE concert with me. Not only is it free but it’s LIVE in person and LIVE over the internet.

I am honored to have a wonderful opening performance by the Maestro, Jerome Kyles, who is going to bring it hard! I have to be on top of my game LOL. Afterwards I will do what I do with the help of a full band and three wonderful background singers. Once the concert is done, we are going to dance, dance, dance.

If you can’t make it out in person check it out LIVE on Ustream.com. Broadcast name is: Tre Alee Concert N~Fuszion. Tell everyone you know about it too. Most importantly, come dressed correct and this is only for the mature and grown folks.

So check me out on Saturday, January 9th @ 23 Montello Street, Brockton. The doors open at 8:30pm and the broadcast begins at 9:45pm EST and the concert starts at 10:00pm.

See you soon!
