Today is a memory day.....for my friends who died via their own hands......

Mattie Stepanek said something quite profound prior to his death that struck me as not only interesting, but to me, quite true. Mattie said that when he died, he would aid everyone, in Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell to find themselves again. Incredible. Even at his ending life, he knew the 3 kingdoms meant something......

My friends deserve to be found! Here is my list.

Chase (Junior High)
Burnadette (High School)
Jalyn (High School)
Amy (High School)
Mark from The University Of Houston dorms (College)

These people are never away from me....photos are all over my house. Memories flood my head and heart like no others could. I honor them each day. I honor them by being the best human being possible, and by living my life to the fullest extent. Dying would simply say to them that I gave up on us.....on me.....on life itself......so, here I remain.

Our favorite songs range from Tiffany to Debbie Gibson, Wilson Phillips, Musical Theatre, and more.....and this keeps us alive.

Peace out!

Music has spoken to me again this weekend. Carly Simon will be on Oprah Tuesday. She's awesome. Everything in my life, from events, to friends and family can be traced back to a song. I guess you could say this is why music is so powerful in my life. Being a lyricist is something I value. Looking back and before and after times is neat too. I get to see how much I've grown. I write at least one song per day. This isn't to be in the record books, but to keep me inspired. Music, like God, is in my heart. To quote Mattie Stepanek, we all have a special heart song. I'm happy to say mine is one full of grace and peace.
