Thirty years ago I gave birth to a rising star. Today she is just that.
My daughter was featured in the recent music video of singer and former American Idol contestant, Danny Gokey. In it he sings the hauntingly beautiful melody…”Tell your heart to beat again.”
In all the madness that is today’s world, a little touch of sanity in the form of music and choreography reminds us that life is really about loving one another.
We exist…
…to love…and be loved in return.
………hugmamma.
