Update #20: Guess what?

Posted about 16 hours ago

In a moment that seemed to rise out of divine inspiration I began composing songs specifically for the human spirit. I was meditating on words that heal. What happened next surprised me.

On the page before me, I saw the development of the “Love” album. Within a matter of days, songs like Respect, Determination, Faith, Hope and Love escaped my subconscious and became reality.

I wasn’t sure how to respond. I was in the middle of sharing Freedom’s Children: The Celebration with listeners. Now, I have a new concept I feel compelled to record. The message: Self-love and Self respect.

The human spirit is ten times larger than the human body but many of us struggle with truly nurturing our spirit. On the “Love” album, each song is a prayer/meditation. I want to encourage others to love self, be determined, respect self and others, have faith and keep hope alive.

Words are very powerful. Positive messages are good for the body and soul. I hope to inspire listeners to enjoy the gift of the present. The tone poems on the “Love” album will support the theme: Love is the most powerful force on earth.

Once again I will place my faith in the community to assist me in creating this album. What is meant to be will be...
