Sara is one of the most special people you are ever going to meet in life. I realised this the first time we met face to face. Her enthusiasm and zest for life is contagious. She has an insatiable need to make you feel good about yourself. That is why she delivers so much more than songs.She is involved with several organizations. One more memory is an organization that she & her mother are involved with to educate people around the world about Alzheimers Disease. Sara's song titled " one more memory " is the inspiration and Anthem for the events they hold.Her latest efforts are motivation concerts called UPower - Building Character Through Lyrics. Sara seeks to empower young people with song and motivational thoughts from her personal experiances. Her appearances so far have generated a lot of positive feedback from students, Teachers and administrators.From a personal perspective, Sara has had an amazing impact on my life. She and her Mom, Linda, have taken a personal interest in me and have helped me through some difficult periods. Where i was hesitant to move forward and at times wanted to call it quits. They aren't the only members of Dark Horses that i've turned with my struggles, but they may be the most influential. Having someone believe in you is vital and you can't do better than having Sara in your corner.I am honoured to have been asked by Sara to do several design projects for her, Theese projects range from bookmarks, posters and the cover of her " Freedom " cd, to the re-design of her website and myspace page.I highly encourage you to not only buy her cd, but to also consider booking her for a show, and even more importantly get to know her as a friend. She will impact your life as you would never expect.

motivational speaker/singer/songwriter'I am using my motivating, positive outlook to inspire and make a difference for others, especially young people, by giving them the opportunity to see that they have the power to make choices that will better their lives, no matter the circumstance. I provide them with tools that allow them to take back their personal power, to start living their purpose and to love their own uniqueness. I accomplish this through speaking, singing and writing.’After my Dad died I felt I could no longer sing if he wasn’t here to watch me. So I created the program ‘Own the Power Within’, a program to help children deal with the issues of bullying.‘I thought maybe it would be better if I just spoke, not sang. At this point I was questioning whether I could even sing. I felt so confused, out of control and lost. I have never felt so upside down. By choosing not to sing I felt an emptiness that I could not fill.'Meeting Brenda Hounam who has had Alzheimer’s disease for 8 years put me back on my true path. I realized that my Dad wanted me to use all my talents. I ended up co writing the song One More Memory. This song was written as a gift to Brenda Hounam who wanted a song to remind her children of her love for them when Alzheimer's disease would rob her of the ability to say 'I love you'.I now travel with Brenda and my Mum Linda, raising awareness and funds on behalf of people who are in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. We want people to know that there is hope and possibility in a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. The monies raised from the sale of the CD are used to help people who are in the early stages of the disease. Since Sept. 21, 2004 ‘One More Memory’ has sold 8000 copies (a gold record in Canada). We are excited to be taking our message to Romania May 15 2008.'I have been helping to raise awareness and funds for those living with early stage Alzheimer's disease for almost four years. For me this is important work. Giving back is an essential part of who I am.'I am very proud to represent ‘Kids Help Phone’ as an artist ambassador.'Going to schools, impacting the lives of young people through music is very important to me. I share about my personal struggles, triumphs and lessons learned, in hopes of giving new insight into what they may be experiencing. I want them to know they are not alone.’I realized through my previous work with young people that so often tools of life are missing. Young people are told so many things ... be confident, stop worrying, be yourself, move on.From this knowledge I have created my newest program UPower® concerts ‘Building Character through Lyrics’ which incorporates speaking & singing, sharing with young people life tools that will guide them to take responsibility for their actions, to motivate them to take on their lives in a very powerful way and to have a new appreciation & respect for themselves & others.‘When I write I feel I have a responsibility to the listener to create lyrics that make a difference in their life, to inspire them to look at things differently, to help heal what may be going on in their life.’’Sometimes life doesn’t turn out how you think it should but it’s all in how you look at it. Are you going to let it tear you down or get up and be better than before?’ lyrics ‘All You See in Me’ Sara Westbrook ©2008'Sara only wants to touch the hearts of those who listen to her music so that they can discover their own personal worth. In essence, Sara wants people to be happy and feel as though they matter.' Steve Miller Dark Horse PromotionsContact Information:www.sarawestbrook.com
