I was scrolling through Twitter this morning, and I came across a post that said, “Still amazed at the fact that just one live performance could change your life and how you live it forever.” It was tweeted by @ConcertWeirdos, and it made me stop and think.

Can You Deal With It
This week, let’s listen to Can You Deal With It – another track off of Liberty, also produced by (you guessed it), Chris Kimsey and the band.

Let’s Talk About a Little Gratitude
On today’s episode of My Own Way, I wanted to talk a little bit about what I’ve learned as a result of this pandemic and feeling as though the world has been under lock and key since last March!
