I'd rather have 3 minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special

About Me


Music: I drink it, I think it, I see it, I be it.
I love singing, songwriting and playing the piano. I'm at uni studying for a Bachelor of Music (Contemporary).
My friends and family mean the world to me - I love them more than I can say. I know that without them, I wouldn't be where I am today - they're my living angels.
I believe 'that which does not kill you only makes you stronger'.
Music is my passion, my heartsong. I love the piano - I think she's the most beautiful and understanding instrument ever created. Music comes alive with the piano.
All my songs have their own individual personality and their own stories to tell from the deepest pages of my life's journal.
I have a great amount of respect for people who stand up for what they believe in and who try to make a difference in the world.
I've been known to giggle quite a lot, sometimes when there's nothing actually worth giggling at.
I love sunflowers and butterflies. Oh, and I like pigeons - I think they're funny. You can't be annoyed and watch a pigeon walk at the same time!

For My Angels:
'If You Come Across An Angel'
by Douglas Pagels
Every day, in the world around us, real-life angels are doing the things they do and bringing more smiles to the world around them.
Real-life angels build bridges instead of walls
They dont have hidden agendas
They tend to be the only ones who understand what you're going through
If they sense that you're hurting, they do whatever they can to help you
Real-life angels understand difficulties and always give the benefit of the doubt
They dont hold others up to standards they can't live by themselves
They are what "inner beauty" is all about
They dont hold things against you
They take your hand in theirs when you could use some reassurance
They walk beside you when you could use some guidance and direction in your life
And they support you in your attempts to do what is right
Real life angels multiply your smiles and add to your integrity
If you come across an angel, you are one of the luckiest people of all.

Thank-you. I love you and I always will, xoxo

Eva Cassidy
I know how much Eva means to so many people, so I created the 'Eva Cassidy Tribute' in hope that it will help to keep her and her music alive. I'm just glad to be able to help spread the word about this amazing woman and I hope I have done her justice through the site. May her beautiful spirit live on and may she sing with the angels forever more. - www.myspace.com/evacassidytribute
The Sunflower
These are my favourite flowers. I love them for the reason behind their name. During the course of the day, their heads actually track the journey of the sun across the sky. I find it a comforting thought to know that no matter how bleak the day may be, the sunflowers can always find the light.
I think they teach a valuable lesson in life.

DANCE like no-one is watching
SING like no-one is listening
LOVE like you'll never be hurt
LIVE like it's heaven on earth
"Life can knock you around, but if you choose the wisdom out of the wounds, then there can be healing. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to choose to see it". ~ Tori Amos
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through, for you...
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain" ~ Emily Dickinson
Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow.
If you don't like the beat, then don't play with the drum.

Heroes:

Anyone who has the strength and the courage to overcome the toughest of the tough obstacles life throws at them.
Tori Amos - My all time favourite artist – so beautifully inspirational. I admire her not just for her unbelievable musical talent, but also for the way that she’s able to strip herself bare through her music. She has the courage to write about very delicate topics (her personal life experiences) in a way that is so raw, but beautifully poetic at the same time. An amazing songwriter and a sensational woman.
Nelson Mandela - A brilliant human being. Words cannot describe the amount of respect I have for this man...
Mattie Stepanek - He was the bravest and most amazing little boy I've ever heard of. There was no braver soul, nor bigger spirit in so small and frail a body.
