Music has always been very powerful to me. In my life, it is something that makes me feel, and for that, I’m grateful, because sometimes I walk around all shades of gray. God has always used music to speak directly to me, and for that also, I’m grateful.

Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day –they’re all the same. To me, all holidays hold a lens that magnifies my heart. Let me elaborate…
Ever have a few drinks? Come on now, sure you have… It’s great. What about drinks when life has been going really well? Maybe you got a new job or a new beau; maybe you’ve bought your first house; You’re sitting on your new empty living room floor, the moon is coming in through your artsy curtains; and with a long slow exhale, you feel it… Your heart is glad. Life is a laugh, and a little alchohol is only making it better. Your smile is deep and wide. In those moments, life is a shady day, the sun never setting under the blues of the sky. Everything is just as it should be.
Ever have a drink when life is hard? It seems like the more blurry your eyes get, the more your heart confesses that life is broken. No drink helps. The sparkle of glitter and lights only a reminder; people are happy, and they don’t care that your lips can’t remember a smile. Your heart is all the more empty.
During the holidays, for better or for worse, life is a lens. Like a drink or four, these days make life all the better… or all the worse.
