I love this quote

"…and when inspiration calls, you don't send it to voicemail; you answer it. You pick it up. You have a conversation with it." Will.I.am.

Here's the interview this was excerpted from. NPR interview.

Returning from Master Class

Did you survive Tax Day?

Just checkin' in after returning from a fabulous weekend in the Bay Area. Friday I checked out a production facility in Santa Cruz called Digital Media Factory http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmRpZ2l0YWxtZWRpYWZhY3RvcnkubmV0. They are interested in producing a DVD series for me and The Voice Project. Pretty cool!
Saturday and Sunday I attended workshops and a master class with other former SLS instructors, Sethie's as they are called, with Adrienne Angel. http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmFkcmllbm5lYW5nZWwuY29t. Check out her 7 deadly sins of singing!! She was awesome and it was good to be reminded of the basics again and to not teach so much that I ruin my own voice, LOL!.
Looking forward to Summer and some cool new projects on the horizon. Your support and voices are immensely appreciated!

excerpt from Our Deepest Fear - by Marianne Williamson.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
