I write when inspiration strikes me. Songwriting is an outlet that allows me to explore the boundaries of my imagination. It lets me question the ordinary. I find music one of the easiest ways to communicate with God, speak my mind, and reach out to other people.
Music for music's sake is pointless. Without an underlying message in everything I produce, I'd be nothing but a frivolous entertainer.

Hey Sam!! Great to meet you at eh Black Forest Coffee House! Nice sounds! When's your next gig? : ) Thanks for buying my CD and for the support! Hope to see you out at a show again soon! Hope you like the CD! I'm working on another due in June 2009 (well, that's my plan!). All the best! Sincerely, Charlena Russell
i'm loving "here life comes". although i'm not headed off to university this year, i have a lot of friends who are. the fact that they're leaving is a difficult thing to grasp, and although i've only just started to truly understand what that means, i know it won't really hit until school starts for the year. i know this song is about this upcoming chapter in your life, but i just wanted you to know that it got to me as well. the comforting melody is a perfect accompaniment to the lyrics..(or vice versa!) it helps me in embracing this new reality. or rather, life. thanks for the song. keep playing. :)
”The gift of listening: Try giving this to someone in need. And you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your responses. Just listen.
The gift of signs of affection: Be generous with your hugs, kisses and gentle squeezes of the hand. Let these tiny actions demonstrate the love inside of you.
The gift of a note: It can be as simple as "I Love You" or as creative as a sonnet. Put your notes where they will surprise your loved one.
The gift of laughter: Just cut out a cartoon, save a clever article. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."
The gift of compliment: A simple "You look good in blue" or "Good supper" can be of greatest value to those who may feel they are being taken for granted.
The gift of a favor: Help with the dishes, run an errand, etc..... do it willingly.
The gift of leaving alone: There are times in our lives when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Become more sensitive to those times and give solitude.
The gift of a cheerful disposition: Try to be cheerful around those you love.
The gift of a game: Offer to play your loved one's favorite game. Even if you lose, you'll be a winner.
The gift of prayer: Pray for your loved ones and let them know you pray for them.
