Music will always be a major part of my life, its my outlet, I'm in my element and I'm free.
The area where we struggle the most is often the area of our greatest effectiveness
Music will always be apart of my life, I have been given a gift of song and voice and I have to use it. I don't have a mapped out time when I should hang up my mic because what I may think is my time may very well be a time to continue.

There is a softening of discipline. There is capitulation. And then there is remorse, self-accusation, and bitter tears of regret.
