"I end up asking myself "Why did I pick up the phone?" or "Why does this person even have my number?" I was told once by my fairy godmother (yes, I have one) that one day I would wake up and acknowledge who I really am. She described me as a ray of sunlight and... Continue Reading →
Music is one of my favorite expressions of freedom. Music has a way of bringing not so common people together through words, melodic beats, and instruments. The lyrics tell stories of life.
