At the age of twenty-seven I am thankful to have been blessed with an array of gifts; the most profound being Life. In 1999, just six months after my high school graduation I was involved in a car accident that would forever change my life and who I was to become.
Sustaining a severe head injury I was brought back and in a coma for some time. Slept through my eighteenth birthday until I finally awoke in Atlanta's Sheperds Center hospital (God Bless you). Basically jolted backwards to the mental capacity of a toddler I had to re-learn everything; walking, talking, reading, writing, etc. I, along with a music therapist, had to re-teach myself music. It's been a long, hard road but all thanks and praise be to God and a loving and supportive family I'm back and better than ever! You know if I had the opportunity to change what happened you think I would? Nope. I am a true believer in everything that happens happens for a reason. In all actuality I'm a better person, musician, and artist after the fact.
Before you head off I'd like to exclaim ... Love is my life, Love is my light, and Life stands in the middle with its hands waving in the air. Keep it real, keep it alive; in and out of time. Knock 'em dead in every "ring" placed in by letting God guide every single step. Keep the music alive and your love real and always let inspiration have its way with you. Oh! And every once in a while do yourself a favor and jump into the River and may God bless you with love, truth, peace, joy, grace, and all that He is.
For a little background info on moi ... I am currently living in Nashville, TN --- Music City, I am affiliated with BMI as a writer/composer/publisher ( MusicMoonk Music ); singer-songwriter-musician/poetess/artist. I was born into a family with a strong musical background in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in the southwestern region of Virginia. I began singing at four years of age, playing the guitar at six, songwriting, and expressing myself through visual art around ten years of age . Having roots in the styles of bluegrass, country, classic, and southern rock, I soon after developed my own sound and playing style. Branching out from a wide variety of musical styles; rock, folk, grunge, world, new age, classical, jazz, blues, r&b, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and in the past few years trance/electronica/dance.
In high school I began playing a classical guitar style, thus implementing a more sophisticated sound into my compositions. In the 1990's I periodically played bass guitar for my family's bluegrass gospel group around the region, I spent some time in a local rock band in my high school as a lead/rhythm guitarist, songwriter, backup and lead vocalist. In college jazz was one of the major catalysts in my musical and artistic development. Joining the jazz ensemble I gained much experience that helped to boost my playing experience; playing jazz made me ten times the musician I was beforehand. Whilst attending college I joined the Chorus, and had the opportunity of singing behind an major symphony --- twice.
So in closing, we all have a testimony of Life, Love, Healing, Freedom, etc. So let's share with one another all that the only One who is good has done in and through us.

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. John 3:16 (Amplified Bible)
But first seek the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. - Matthew 6:33
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. - Matthew 22:37-39
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. - John 6:35
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. - John 15:12
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except by Me. - John 14:6
Matthew 6:6-15 (New International Version)
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full." - Matthew 6:2
Yeshua ... Jesus
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Say, "May those who love you be secure. May there be peace inside your walls. May your people be kept safe." I'm concerned for my family and friends. So I say to Jerusalem, "May you enjoy peace." I'm concerned about the house of the Lord our God. So I pray that things will go well with Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 - 9
... This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace. So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them. - Numbers 6:23-27
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. - Psalm 139: 23 - 24
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Phillipians 2:9-11
You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. - Rom 14:10
Give me a good digestion, Lord,
And also something to digest;
Give me a healthy body, Lord,
With sense to keep it at its best;
Give me a healthy mind, good Lord,
To keep the good and pure in sight,
Which seeing sin is not appalled
But finds a way to set it right;
Give me a mind that is not bored,
That does not whimper, whine or sigh;
Don't let me worry overmuch
About the fussy thing called I.
Give me a sense of humor, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some happiness from life
And pass it on to other folk. - Author Unkown
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled,
as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. - Prayer of Saint Francis of Assis

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of believers, in Word, conversation, charity, spirit, faith & in purity. FATHER GOD our Banner, thank You for this day You have made, deliver us from unforgiveness as we pray for those who use & sin against us, we humble ourselves before You, for every life is under You control, guide us to be holy, not bitter or angry, but presenting our all to You in a pure & obedient manner, for all is open before Your Sight, help us by Your Word & Holy Spirit to live disciplined lives in how we forgive, dress, listen, act, communicate, give, & treat others so we can be used for You & by You according to Your Purpose, let Your Wisdom overflow in our bodies, minds, & souls, so we become more like our Shepherd Jesus Christ, so others may see Your Goodness in us & turn from their wicked ways, do a work in our & our loved ones that You only can do, meet us at our place of need as we seek & honor You with our whole hearts, transform our minds so we will not sin against You 1Timothy 4: 4 For everything God has created is good, and nothing is to be thrown away or refused if it is received with thanksgiving. 5 For it is hallowed and consecrated by the Word of God and by prayer. 6 If you lay all these instructions before the brethren, you will be a worthy steward and a good minister of Christ Jesus, ever nourishing your own self on the truths of the faith and of the good [Christian] instruction which you have closely followed. 7 But refuse and avoid irreverent legends (profane and impure and godless fictions, mere grandmothers' tales) and silly myths, and express your disapproval of them. Train yourself toward godliness (piety), [keeping yourself spiritually fit]. 8 For physical training is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (spiritual training) is useful and of value in everything and in every way, for it holds promise for the present life and also for the life which is to come. 9 This saying is reliable and worthy of c
