"Wednesday's Child" Testimonial
When I first got the call to participate in "Wednesday's Child", I believe my excitement was focused merely on the opportunity to give back. However, I had no idea that upon meeting Amber, she would have such a profound impact on my life!
I must admit that I initially thought that I'd have to sell myself as a recording artist to her considering my slight obscurity, but on the contrary she was more than elated to receive anything I had to offer. We sang, laughed, and bonded in such a short amount of time and what struck me most was her Resilience! Amber radiates from the inside out in a way that belies her story of being in the adoption system since the age of 6. Music is her release and safe haven giving her an uncanny sense of Hope, which is the message that I believe resonates throughout my music as well. This commonality led me to the realization that our introduction was not just a coincidence but Predestined.

Amber challenged me to be present in every moment and take nothing for granted. During her interview she was asked of her ideal family and responded, "There's no perfect family, I just want one that needs ME and not one that I feel like I'm interrupting".
Amber knows her value and understands that she also has an assignment and a destiny to fulfill. Although she graciously thanked me for my time, I was the one inspired - Thank YOU Amber!
