Music
I'm a singer, and I play the saxophone. I also write my own songs. It might be considered a sign of conceitedness to say I like my own songs, but common sense asks: Why inflict my music on others if I myself have no liking for it? My Showcase

Books
We Exist! Why? The only self-help book you'll ever need! The only one I'd recommend!
I don't look up to other people, but I admire great athletes like Jarmila Kratochvilova, Daley Thompson, Sebastian Coe; athletes who delivered. I currently am very impressed with Andy Murray (British Tennis Player), mainly because he chooses not to settle for tennis mediocrity. He is living proof that a winning mind-set is that which gives you the advantage over your contemporaries/compatriots. I am also a HUGE Nadal fan. The mentality and strength of the man! I also am very much inspired by ridiculous people, like Nietzsche, who unintentionally provide me with writing material.
I love performing BIG Frank Sinatra/Shirley Bassey type songs live, yet my own songs are quite different. Please visit "My Showcase" to listen. I also play the saxophone.
We Exist! Why? By Elizabeth Young is categorised as a self help book. Please visit Amazon.co.uk for details. I write a lot on social and spiritual issues and I also write articles for an online mind, body, spirit magazine.

About me: Elizabeth Young is the 8th of ten children; the 4th of the youngest six. She was born in Birmingham England, but spent her formative years living in a little village (Cave Valley, Hanover) in Jamaica. Her family returned to live in London where she still resides. She was inspired to choose music as she watched Bucks Fizz perform the winning song in the Eurovision Song Contest. She later went on to write and enter a song for the Great British Song Contest; convinced it was a winning song. It did not win, but her disappointment was eased because the winning song was indeed a winner. It went on to win the Eurovision contest for Britain that year. She has made many unsuccessful bids to abandon music: Her friends would not allow it. And with their support, she continues to maintain her individuality which shines through in everything she does: In her music, in her teaching, in her writing, and in her attitude towards finding truth for her life. While having no musical influences, she likes artists ranging from Elvis, Sinatra, Gladys Knight, Shirley Bassey, through to Motorhead...yes! Motorhead. She has always aspired towards being a big fish in a big pond, and she is willing to pay the price. Others gave up on her because they could not understand her desire to strive for more, rather than settle for what is available and less. She succeeded despite great challenges and discouragement, and occasional mocking, in publishing her first book (We Exist! Why?) in 2002. Again her individuality was misunderstood and brought conflict with her publishers, but as usual she did not compromise. She succeeded in maintaining the disputed book title. As with her book, she refused to compromise with her music; even when opportunities presented themselves that might have led to earlier success. Sacrificing her individuality and independence for success was out of the question. Her book documents her attitude towards fame and fortune; to her mind neither are definitions of success. Her motives remain pure: Where she is now is where she has chosen to be.
Who I'd like to meet: I do have a fun side, but you have to get pass the no nonsense side to get there... So, here goes, If you can handle me being friends with everybody and not try to monopolise me; few things irritate more... If you will ask me and never assume anything about me, as this tends to embarrassment, yours, not mine... If you will allow me to be me; I will only ever be me... If you will not try to flatter me; I really am not susceptible to flattery... If you are not sensitive and easily offended by the truth; think long and hard... that's all you'll ever get from me: then I would like to meet you.

Here is my quote of the week. I hope you enjoy it!
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude." --Thomas Jefferson
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the scriptures tell us, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never be disgraced. "
