Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.

I've never heard a song written from a stepmother's point of view, about their family.

I think I'm realizing I've always been able to move people, just getting people to talk.

Keep on shining, keep on smiling, don't lose faith, and don't lose heart. When you're crying, just keep trying to remind yourself, you're a shining star, yes you are.

Hopefully people will grow with me, because I'm definitely not going to be stuck in one place all my life.

Living life, I mean, my two stepsons, my husband, I think every day - today interaction inspires me - as far as music goes - inspires my art.

I know society these days, I know people are wanting to find everything they can to pick things apart, but I have to write from my heart and my experiences, and I fully own them. Those are mine to share.
