I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.

It sacrifices people's lives and their essences at the drop of a dimeI had a manager once say to me, You know you're worth more money dead than alive.

When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didnt go over a cliff.

Walking through this life really is walking through fire.

Your moment of clarity comes when you face your fears. Sobriety gave me back me - my life. Self-medication kills you slowly. You can never get a handle on that. It's a highly destructive force that has to be dealt with on a spiritual level as much as a physical one.

I'm a woman and I'm a backbone...everybody needs one.

I've been collaborating with Ira Schickman on some songs, and there will be many other, great musicians involved.
