Beautiful

“The difference between pretty and beautiful is-

pretty is temporal-whereas beautiful is eternal.”

"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!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

                                     HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Every time I look into your big chocolate eyes I melt. Every Mother thinks their child is wonderful but I know you are destined for great things. I have felt the magnitude of your spirit many times. I feel lucky to be your Mother. You have “HEART UNDERSTANDING” The ability to sense others emotion and you have great empathy. You are kind, thoughtful, Athletic and very creative. I love you Kam!

Spring

                                              

Spring has always been one of my favorite times of the Year. I love that it represents new life and a new beginning. I always get anxious for spring. I find I have a renewed sense of energy. I feel as if it will never get here. I dream of fresh scented Lavender dancing through the air, and the laughter of children as they play mid-day in the warm sun. Oh spring I miss you so!
