You'll often see me use the phrase, "Come Alive" when I write.  

Howard Thurman's quote, below, moved me when I first read it.  

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

I love this quote because I feel it clearly places us, the reader, in charge. Too often, we are influenced by the way others think of us, our failures, our shadows - but they are only shadows.  

• You have, within you, art that's waiting to emerge and do something remarkable for someone else.   

• You have, around you, people starving for you to spiritually feed them through your music.  

• You have, within you, the ability to make this change happen, to do the remarkable, to gather people to an experience that matters, and to be fully you - to come alive.  

There are others like you, scared to take the leap. They share your concerns. I know, I've helped many. You're not alone.  

I believe in you, your capabilities, your audiences, and your art. If you need help, a push, or a shove - reach out!    

Believe in yourself, your abilities, and your resolve. You can serve others in a way that makes a difference.  

Come alive.
