"If we direct our spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical energy in such a way that brings harmony and balance within ourselves, there is NOTHING we cannot do. It can be done, it has been done before, and it will be done again. Why not now? How we choose to direct our attention is a big component in finding and maintaining a fearless mind."  (Dr. Craig Manning)

Butterflies

Can I tell you a little about my mother A.K.A... (Mama Jude)? Besides the fact that she is amazing, she is also very talented. One thing most people don't know about my Mother is that she writes beautiful poetry. A few years ago she wrote a poem entitled “Butterflies”

Well; I took this poem and gave it to my Producer/guitarist “Jeff Tackett” with the idea of creating a song. Jeff did just that. He created beautiful heartfelt music that really brought the poem “Butterflies” to life. I went into the studio, recorded the song doing one take and not thinking much about the song after that.

Now...a few years later, music has been redone over my vocals using some of Nashville’s most talented musicians. The players were from Eddy Rabbit, Ricky Skaggs, and Dave Matthews Bands. They also have played with Faith Hill Tim McGraw, etc. The song turned out fantastic. Now if I can only redo vocals.... :) And to think, all of this came from the mind of a beautiful mother!
