A Statement of Gratitude

Getting ready to record my 21st album and there's no telling how far I will once again push the boundaries of my creativity. Been reflecting on the past 25 years of music making and feeling grateful for all the successes and acknowledgements along the way. As independent artists, the only tangible things we have to show for what we've accomplished are our chart positions and awards. And even those these things may not be high profile like major artist accolades, they mean something to us nonetheless and mark how far we've come on our journeys. For me, every No. 1 hit on an independent chart, every positive review, and all the wonderful awards I've received for my songwriting have encouraged me to keep moving forward on my own, personal road to achieving excellence in my chosen field. I am so very thankful for music and all the joy, fulfillment, peace, healing, opportunities and connections it has brought into my life.
