Since my last blog on our loss of Kathleen, my life has gotton really busy. Amid the daily routine that has become my life and the mega stress that is my daughter a tremendous opportunity has come to me. An opportunity that comes once in a life time. A dream come true so to speak. The plan God has for me has come to light.

Very few of my friends here on Myspace know that I am a song writer and singer. Those few who do know only know this because they infact know me in person through my church. They have heard a few of my songs and many have encouraged me to "do something". I have performed in public before, but mostly through karaoke, our church and a very few times my own music. An old indian friend who was a fabulous musician said to me "Little lady, you sure can write and sing a pretty song. One day your gonna make something of yourself with that music." He has heard me sing several of my songs and tried to "hook me up" with someone so I could record. He passed just a few months ago and his words ring in my ears now. But the timing was just not right. There were some key elements in my life that had to be straightend out.

About a month ago, I performed here in my town at a walk run for life. It is a fundraiser for our local Pregnacy Crisis Center that helps mothers keep women from aborting their child by either keeping it or finding alternatives other than abortion. They assist mothers who have little income with diapers, clothing, cribs and other many baby needs. They had been a help to me when I needed things for my son and when they found out I write songs asked if I would write one for the center. I did and performed it at the fundraiser and my church. There were many requests for a recording.

This past week I performed in a town just about an hour east of me. I had written a song about women in domestic violence situations and how they had survived. Having spent four months in a domestic violence shelter myself, I heard the many stories of women who had suffered far more than I had. It was their stories that led to the song. Out of this performance, I recieved invitations to three more possible engagements as well as requests for recording.

With all this God has provided a musician to make soundtracks for my songs. Tami is an awesome musician who has taken my songs to a whole new level. I can write the words, give them a tune, but it is Tami who has finished bringing them to life. We are putting the finishing touches on two of the songs and getting them ready for copy writing. Recording is just around the corner. On top of that, her husband Mark is an artist and promoter. Stir all that together and God has concocted one heck of a musical team.

So, what does this all mean? Well I started writing songs many years ago. Singing some of them in church and a few of them among the public. I probably have enough for two cds. And, I have a bigger story to tell that what I have shared on here already. God has been preparing me for this time for years. In the things I have been through, the people I have met, and the changes I have had to make to live for him. He has given me a ministry and it is getting ready to bust wide open. It has been spoken to me many times over the last two year that it was coming. And when it did, it would happen so fast that I would not be able to comprehend it. But, I would never have to worry again about finances or what direction my life was taking.

What does it mean? It means you may see a Myspace Music page coming very soon. When it is ready....You will know!

God Bless & In His Love!
