It's finals time baby! I've survived so far...three more to go. I was reading an article about learning last night, and it reminded me of why I love to study and learn. I love school but sometimes it can be stressful keeping up with all the assignments, projects, and studying for tests...not to mention my social life, playing shows, writing new songs, getting exercise and sleep (ha!), growing spiritually, etc. etc. You know what I mean. I'm sure you can relate...it can be hard to balance everything.

Not sure who said this but it sure makes me grateful that Heavenly Father created me and you and this beautiful world. Reminds me of one of my favorite songs, "God Speaking." You should check it out here:

I was really touched by a blog of an incredible musician, Paul Cardall. His perspective is amazing - take a minute to check it out. mytricuspidatresia.blogspot.com

"Life is greater than all art. I would even go farther and declare that the man whose life comes nearest to perfection is the greatest artist; for what is art without the sure foundation and framework of a noble life?" ~Mahatma Gandhi

I love to write songs because I'm creating something that didn't exist before. I crave to create and express myself in that way. It's amazing because we all have unique ways we like to create and express our souls through.

Dearest friends,

And the semi-finals begin! Thank you sooo very much for helping me make it to this point. The semi-finals have started and I need your help to make it to the finals!

The semi-finals last two weeks.
-it will be a blind tally this time. That means we won't know how many votes the artists have until the semi-finals are over.
-you can only vote once per account per IP address (i.e. per computer) per day.

IMPORTANT: VOTING LITERALLY TAKES 30 SECONDS.
