Time to head back to Vancouver, Canada, to my mum’s house, where she’d lived since marrying my stepfather nearly twenty years earlier. She’d been battling aggressive, small- cell lung cancer for the last year, and I’d just spent two precious weeks visiting her. How could it be time? Had things deteriorated that fast? 11 Niki Hardy, Breathe Again Revell Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group, © 2019.

Mum was barely conscious by the time I arrived at the hospital, yet she appeared to have been waiting for me, the last of her kids, to arrive. Turning her head as I perched on the edge of the bed, she smiled weakly, the corners of her mouth curling slightly upward, relief filling her eyes. “You made it,” she mumbled. As her breathing became labored and she slipped uncon- scious, we held her hands and prayed. She passed away as we— my sisters Claire and Jo, and our stepfather with his grown children— looked on helplessly. “In this world you will have trouble . .” i Six short years later, Claire had to make another call. It was time. Again. With an ominous sense of déjà vu, I went through the motions as if acting in a play I’d rehearsed only once before. Once again it seemed like just a few hours that I’d been home. By then Al and I had moved with our three small kids to Charlotte, North Carolina, to plant CityChurch, and I’d been back in England for a week visiting my sister Jo in Torquay. It was now Jo’s turn to be fighting that same ter- rifying disease: aggressive small-cell lung cancer. When I’d hugged her goodbye, stroking her soft, fuzzy, chemo-bald head, my bubbly, vivacious chef of a sister may have been a shadow of herself physically, but she’d still been the same 12 Niki Hardy, Breathe Again Revell Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group, © 2019.

How could it be time? Had things deteriorated that quickly? It was just after Christmas, and we were having a bril- liant time sightseeing and freezing our butts off in DC when the international number flashed up on my phone. My stomach lurched. I just knew. I’d thrown my passport into my bag just in case this happened, but it had felt like a betrayal to Jo’s strength to fight on, so I’d studiously ig- nored the fear warning me to pack my little black dress and pumps. All I had with me were jeans, fleece socks, my win- ter boots, and the rather gaudy fake- fur earmuffs I’d had to buy to save my ears from the biting DC wind. It would have to do. Once again I kissed Al and the kids goodbye, found a seat on the first flight from DC to London, and crossed the -At lantic deep in fear- motivated prayer. As the train from London came to a stop, I stepped down into my father’s waiting arms.

  • Toni Braxton Announces North American Fall Tour
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TONI BRAXTON ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR Detroit (August 8, 2016) – Seven-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and actress Toni Braxton announces her North American tour. Kicking off on Saturday, October 8 in Oakland, Braxton will tour more than 20 cities, ending with a show in Atlantic City, NJ on Saturday, November 12. Most recently, Braxton released “Love, Marriage & Divorce,” a duets album with Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds. The album took off behind “Hurt You,” the Urban AC #1 duet hit co-written by Toni Braxton & Babyface (with Daryl Simmons and Antonio Dixon), and produced by Babyface. The two also shared the win for Best R&B Album at the 2015 GRAMMY Awards. Today, with over 67 million in sales worldwide and seven GRAMMY Awards, Braxton is recognized as one of the most outstanding voices of this generation. Her distinctive sultry vocal blend of R&B, pop, jazz and gospel became an instantaneous international sensation when she came forth with her first solo recording in 1992. Braxton stormed the charts in the 90’s with the releases of “Toni Braxton” and “Secrets,” which spawned the hit singles and instant classics; “Another Sad Love Song,” “Breathe Again,” “You’re Makin’ Me High,” and “Unbreak My Heart.” Today, Braxton balances the demands of her career with the high priorities of family, health and public service as she raises her two sons Denim and Diezel. This year Toni was the Executive Producer of the highly-rated Lifetime movie “Unbreak My Heart” which was based on her memoir and she is the star of the WEtv hit reality series Braxton Family Values in its fifth season.

This is one of the very first art lessons. Squeezing black ready- made from a tube makes a painting look artificial, so instead, you mix the three primary hues: red, yellow, and blue. Because even the darkest shadow or deepest sorrow has a glimmer of color at its heart. But I know there’s another kind of black. I see it when I close my eyes, and become a paint palette. This black is a bottomless ocean of dark. I dip my fin gers in it, smear it across a canvas. Use a paintbrush and flick my fin ger over the bristles, splattering tiny constellations onto the paper. Each small, lonely speck the color of sadness.

  • Athena Andreadis
    Athena Andreadis Described by the British press as “A rare diamond”, “A voice blessed”, “A singer destined for great things” “A voice of great emotional resonance” ”Brave and original.” - The Guardian “A talented rising star” - Billboard Magazine Athena keeps touching peoples’ hearts with her powerfully emotive voice. Athena Andreadis is one of those people who live and breathe and think and talk about music and she writes Chris Difford (Squeeze) with the same sort of direct focus. During a one hour Channel 5 / Sky Arts documentary made about her in the UK, legendary songwriter described Athena as someone who, “writes and sings from the heart. She doesn't need to be packaged by anyone – she is simply and beautifully her." She has the same sort of clear artistic vision that marks out Ed Sheeran or Adele or John Legend and it’s matched with a fresh, limitless ambition. Born in London to Greek parents, Athena’s mother would sing her to sleep. Despite all the music around the house, the young Athena was encouraged to study business, so she headed to Bath University but continued performing. After securing a First Class Degree in Business, Athena enrolled at Trinity College, London, where she graduated from with two post-graduate degrees in Classical and Jazz Voice. Her consistent performing throughout her school years inevitably lead to Athena recording her debut album, Breathe With Me, which drew many excellent reviews, indeed The Guardian commenting that she was “Brave and original. A remarkably fine singer songwriter.” Since then she has headlined and sold out numerous UK tours, played at Glastonbury, had songs covered by other artists and seen her own music synced with TV, commercials and movies.

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Atlanta Toni Braxton has been at the forefront of modern R&B and soul since her 1991 debut single, "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" (featured in the film, Boomerang). Her self-titled debut, which followed in 1993, proved a true pop phenomenon, earning 8x-platinum certification from the RIAA for sales in excess of 8 million. The album also saw Braxton receiving her first round of Grammy Awards, including "Best New Artist" and two "Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female" trophies, honoring the singles, "Another Sad Love Song" and "Breathe Again." "SECRETS" arrived in 1997 and indelibly confirmed Toni's status as a true international superstar.
