You are a Rocker Girl!
If you don't have musical talent, you've got a talent for picking out great CD's.
Music rules your life - and you've got the best MP3 collection of anyone you know.
Many guys find you intimidating, but a select few think you're the catch of a lifetime.
Start hanging out in more used record stores, and you'll find love with a fellow rocker!
Dedicated and responsible, you are a rock to your friends.
You are skilled at working out even the most difficult problems.
Low key and calm, you are happiest when you are around loved ones.
Ambitious and goal oriented, you have long term plans to be successful.
"OTHER PEOPLE TOLD ME WHO I WAS. I JUST HAD TO LEARN HOW TO BELIEVE IT AND LIVE IT".
-Monika on her blossoming career in music ..
Award-Winning singer/songwriter Monika (mo-knee-ka) Bourgeois is a Northwest native of creole descent.
After emerging from an unconventional background that
reads like a N.Y. Times Best seller, Monika is forging ahead, focusing on her blossoming career in the Music Industry and taking every step in stride..
Her sophomore offering "From the Mind of a Christian Girl", is a private flip through her personal journal. Undoubtedly, Monikas' wordsmithing shines light on areas of life that sometimes seem nonexistent in other faith albums.
"I guess you can call my songwriting style kind of 'Inside-out". I tend to write from a "minds eye" view of Life. If you put Fred Hammond, the India.Arie team (I.A. Simpson, S.Sanders, D. Ramsey, D. Johnson & M. Johnson), BeBe Winans, Peter Gabriel & The Caldwell Plus team in a blender.. I would probably be your end result!
But vocally, I think the influence of the Winans Sisters (CeCe, Angie & Debbie), Anita Baker and Gladys Knight definitely left their mark on me. She seems very comfortable in her own skin now, not at all like the young lady who only two years ago had trouble calling herself an 'Artist'. "You know, I am learning everyday to be greatful for every gift I've been blessed with. The Bible says "Cast not away your confidence," yet I threw mine down the drain a few years ago because situations led me to believe that something was wrong with being "Monika". The awards and opportunities that had come my way were great blessings ( "Most Outstanding Vocalist", Three Rivers Rotary Associtaion, Sue Seed Music Scholarship recipient, 1st Place Liberty Vocal Competition) : It was a wild ride.
Her gift as a songwriter can be heard on the BillboardTop 20 project "Crazy Like Love" by Grammy winning Artist Melvin Williams ,upcoming projects by Kim Stratton, Dub Dis, and on her upcoming release "Line Upon Line", which is the second chapter in the series "From the Mind of a Christian Girl".
After winning the " Throne Room Writing Competition" held by CeCe Winans/Puresprings Gospel, Monika was graced to try her hand at journalism. As a result, she became a contributing writer to the Milwaukee based publication 'Ya Heard Magazine", a Bi-monthly Music Magazine promoting all Genres of Music.
Although shes' been called a one of the music communitys' "Wide Eyed Beauties", shes not one to hide Her markings as a person with Vitiligo. She aims to increase awareness and promote new studies for its research. Monika encourages the campaign of www.VitiligoSupport.org, an organization dedicated to enlightening, encouraging and finding treatments for those whose lives are affected by the mysterious discoloring skin disorder.
More info about Monika is available at www.SingNika.com. Her music and ringtones are also available through her site.

Pray with me... Father, in the Name of Jesus, bless me even while
I'm reading this prayer and bless the one that sent this to me in a
special way. Open doors in our lives today, Save and set free! Give us
a double portion of your Spirit as we take back everything that the
devil has stolen: emotional health, physical health, finances,
relationships, children, jobs, homes, and marriages. I cancel every
plot, plan and scheme the enemy has devised Against us in the name of
Jesus and I declare: NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WILL PROSPER. I speak
LIFE into every dead situation, and I thank you that nothing is over
until YOU say it's over! Speak prophetically into our lives and to our
situations: our households are blessed, our health is blessed, our
marriages are blessed, our finances are blessed, our relationships are
blessed, our businesses are blessed, our jobs are blessed, our children
are blessed, our grandchildren are blessed, our parents are blessed,
our siblings are blessed, our ministries are blessed, our decisions are
blessed, our friends are blessed. Mortgages are paid and debts
canceled; our hearts' desires are on the way, according to YOUR perfect
will and plan for our lives. You said you'd never forsake us...in
Jesus' name. Amen.
Say this prayer, and then send it to everyone
you know...within hours, countless people will have prayed for you, and
you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each
other
