Hope Thanksgiving was kind to you and yours and that it was a time to remember! Since we are headed into the Christmas season I thought I would ask you to put up your beautiful "Carol of the Bells" so I can add it to my profile player here.
I hope things are going great for your new adventures in music and that you will keep me posted when you add new music, press releases etc. I am always happy to help where I can.
Hey, I just saw that Ryan McGarvey is playing at the Barley Room for Halloween Night. We are definately going to be there for most of the night. 5200 Eubank where Juan Tabo and Eubank meet well just south of that on Eubank.
just thought I would pass through your page and show some thanks for connecting. I hope everything is going good for you. Stop by my page and listen to some music whenever you feel the need.
Hello, and Welcome my friend, excuse us if we are sending this in duplicate! There are several of us working on this site and we are getting ready for something HUGE! So stay tuned. Thank you for adding, The more people coming together and helping spread awareness is more powerful. I started writing just over Three months ago and it is already a huge success! I am moving forward in telling my story, spreading awareness, as well as raising money for awareness. Thank you for joining me! You must be a wonderful person to care enough to take your time to spread awareness. I look forward to knowing you. I have triumphed over Domestic Violence. My horrific story is in my blog. Please read and feel free to post it on your website. To help spread awareness. I am almost finished with my book of my life and how I overcame DV thru practicing what I know about the law of attraction. My passion is to teach others how they can do it as well. I have written most of it in my blog on an almost daily basis for the past Three months. I suggest starting on the oldest blog so it makes sense and you know who the people are. To find the story of how I came to start writing, look for “THE BIG BANG, My husband tried to kill us both then when he failed, he killed Himself” Or “My Story” It will blow you away! There is a lot more to the story than that. I was abused as a child then it followed me into my relationships as an adult. I HAVE TRIUMPHED OVER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. In Love & Light, Michelle Miller
