Fav Quotes:
"I did not have an easy time getting to where I am today. I was signed to many record labels, I played
in clubs for years, but I never gave up, and I dont want you to either." Lady Gaga

"Search for the reason that bids you to write. Find out whether it is spreading out to the roots of your
heart, acknowledge to yourself whether you would have to die if it were denied you to write. This above
all-ask yourself in the most stillest hour of your night: must I write? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. And if this should be affirmative, if you may meet this earnst question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life according to this necessity" Ranier Maria Rilke
​
"I create my own joy knowing that the POWER to live my dreams IS ALREADY INSIDE OF ME. With TRUST, I access that power by opening my heart and FEARLESSLY becoming a vessel to HELP OTHERS do the same." Tanya Beardsley
