I was driving back from a quick visit to my mom's home in Kentucky, listening to Channel 78, Kids Place Live and just enjoying all the really great family friendly music there is! One of my current favorites is Saul Paul, "I Am Enough." It's so uplifting and I think he is a really wonderful change-maker. The end of the song goes, "You put good in, and you get good out, spread it all around 'cause that's what it's all about"....and I was just singing along and grinning and this very chill calm came over me. It was like that still quiet voice said, "Keep doing what you're doing. It's all gonna be for good. Your heart is right. Your heart is in this. You love kids and you are truly doing this for the love of kids....." I was in the moment fully. Then, don't think I'm crazy....or do! I won't blame you! :) I reached for my phone, picked it up and starting videoing the console. YES. I KNOW. That's not cool and it's likely illegal I get that 100%. I didn't really "decide" to do it - my hand just did it. Then...."New Artist Spotlight" came on. I didn't know they had one. I didn't know it was going to be at that moment. And I SURE didn't know it would be me. SO...this is the shortened version of that video. It was the first time I'd ever heard my own voice on the radio, much less with a song I'd written. I've sung countless demos for country artists and watched those songs rise up the charts - celebrated every one!  I've sung backup for a slew of 'em too - even behind Gwenyth Paltrow in "Country Strong!"  ha ha - but I've NEVER heard my voice, with my song...and much less a song that encompasses a message I believe in with pure joy.  THIS SONG IS PURE JOY to me.  THANK YOU for listening to it, for requesting it, for dancing to it, and for having the courage to be beautiful amazing YOU.  Dreams do come true - they really do.
