MY SONG RECORDED BY CZECH ARTIST

I wrote this song with Rune Westberg...great to hear it recorded in Czech, by the beautiful Marketa Konvickova...

THANKSGIVING

"Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire, if you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don’t know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you’re tired and weary, because it means you’ve made a difference. It is easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings."

They are not long, the days of wine and roses. Out of a misty dream our path emerges for awhile...then closes within a dream.

LATE NIGHT OBSESSION

I could not be any more obsessed with this song tonight...

FALL FOR YOU w SECONDHAND SERENADE

A few years ago, I was in the grocery store and heard this song playing...the original radio version. I stopped walking, and stood still, just listening with my mouth open. I thought it was the most beautiful song, and I had no idea who it was. Soon I heard it again on the radio, and found out it was John Vesely, of the band Secondhand Serenade.

At the time, I was working on MTV's "Rock The Cradle"...and we were able to choose our own song one week, to sing on the show. I knew I HAD to sing this song, so I tracked John down and called him on the phone. He had no idea who I was, and talked to me while he smoked a cigarette outside his tour bus. He agreed to my request, and I sang the song at the piano the next week on TV...for 1.3 million people.

Not long after that, I was in New York on tour, as was John. He invited me to come out to his studio and sing on the new acoustic release of the song...which is this version. SO from standing in the grocery store, to your ears now, this was an ironic journey.

Follow your instincts and go for what you want

MIRACLES in GRATITUDE

The sun rises in the morning and sets at night not because of it's "nature" but because the Light of the Creator gives it energy to do so. Viewing nature as the manifestation of the Light of the Creator helps you see that miracles are not a departure from nature. Everything is a miracle.

EACH DAY, RECOGNIZE ONE THING YOU APPRECIATE IN LIFE. DARK THOUGHTS GET BLOWN OUT BY THE LIGHT OF ABUNDANCE AND GRATITUDE.
