Dear listener:
I am and have always been a singer. Since I was 6 years old there has been only one thing I ever truly wanted to be: a professional singer. And, by golly, that’s what I got to be. I have had a career as a professional singing a wide range of repertoire that included opera, musical theater , jazz, pop, country, and spiritual music. I have enjoyed all of these genres, and I have grown in deep gratitude to God for the “work” I get to do. But, it is in the spiritual repertoire that I feel most aligned with my true self, more the person I was designed to be able to be. Hence, I attempt to use my voice to help you experience this season of Advent in a powerful but peaceful way, through song, scripture and meditation. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this Advent series. Blessings upon your life-long journey to know and feel God in your life, and how to continue to evolve into the person you were designed to be able to be.
