To all of you who made a difference in my life this year, I say thank you.

It has been an amazing year of transition and stability in my life. I had so many great experiences and have gained a new level of friendship for so many.

The old saying of keeping your personal business out of your work life is a difficult one for me to swallow because it is my business to get personal. Every song that I have written, every time I step into the studio for a session, and every time I sing is me getting personal and leaving my imprint. And I have learned how to do this by not taking myself so seriously in some areas and just really ‘getting grown’ in other areas of my life.

Inspired by Derek Sivers’ post today, I would like to name a few names of the people who touched me in ways that they will never know.
