..I grew up on the hillsides and beside a river in a small place in Kentucky. Content to roam through the trees and imagine myself in places that only a child's imagination can take you. My life has taken me many places but my heart always brings me back here. So many adventures have come upon my life in just the last years but non have been like exploring the inner reaches of my soul. I've found peace and love to be a growing part of my life. The blues have always been the music that really reached me, I've been comfortable with singing about my tortured heart and the pain that's been such a part of me. Love songs have never been my specialty. I've even written about my broken heart while madly in love. But things change and so have I. I've given my heart to someone that I know will never break it, but mend it and make it stronger than ever. One that will take my free spirit and break it to make it unbreakable. "Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life."-Proverbs Thats from the book of wisdom, and endless lessons that teach you the meaning of life, the key to true happiness and freedom from fear. "Perfect love cast out fear." "I have not been given a spirit of fear but of Power, Love, and a Sound Mind." No one will ever be perfect, but you can learn to be happy with what you are if you believe in a perfect love. "Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person."
