Music has always been a part of my life. I remember when I was 8 my family was watching a music awards show and I said to them, "I'd like to be a singer." The began the singing lessons for next 14 years through Elementary, Junior and Senior High all the way through my Post Secondary Schooling. I love it. I find it easier to express my feelings and how I look at the world through music. I'd even go so far to say that The Lord gave me a gift.

Fast forward a few years and I find myself in a band and we had a really great time singing together because we were three friends singing. So it has stayed a passion of mine past my schooling. I've recently left the band in pursuit of new adventures (believe me, it wasn't an easy choice) but I still love to share songs.

I've decided to start a thing called Music Mondays where on every third Monday of the month I will share a song that's on my heart or that I can't seem to get out of my head. Just because it's a passion of mine and I think the stories are really important.  The songs are posted below. Here's to sharing stories in the from of song!
