    I'm not really a birthday gal in all honesty. Everyone of my birthdays have been diasters. Last yr in paticular. You know how it is when you try and bring your whole family/friends together and within 2 mins somebodys fighting ruining your whole buzz...... haha so you see i'm not really a birthday gal.

    But.....oh but today felt different. i stopped trying to have a birthday day!....And just enjoyed the fact that i am alive another year, to celebrate what is truly a blessing. Life.

    And plus the fact that India Arie pulled me up on stage and sang (beautifully) happy birthday to me, and then got her wonderful milwaukee audience to sing it right back, has really given my 22nd an unforgetable flare.

    So you might say this year has been a real lesson. Why are birthdays dreaded the older we get, or focussed on how many gifts we get, or how big a party we have. It is such a personal thing i now get it. It is one more day, One more month, One more year, we have been given on this earth. 

    Who could ask for a better gift.

Laura I was at your concert tonight in Toronto ! I have been waiting for you to come out with an album I searched you on itunes about a year ago and couldn't find much sooo glad you are finally getting the recognition you deserve. Concert was fantastic I wish we got to hear some more of you to be honest and wish you stuck around after the concert would have liked a chance to meet and talk to you one on one. I bought the CD pre album you had there but guess what ??? Mine was totally blank !!! I don't know who to contact ?? !!! Anyways can't wait for you release I've already pre-ordered it on itunes all the best !
