Thoughts and Thanks:I guess you could say this collage of songs is a family portrait, painted with words and music. It’s who and what I believe in, how I get through the hard days, and where I find my joy. I hope as you listen, you’ll hear things we have in common and be able to paint a portrait of your own.My thanks to everyone who had a part in creating this project. To the writers, musicians, and vocalists; you picked & mixed the paint. To the producer and engineers; you guided the strokes on the canvas. To the REAL artists from Rachel Motta’s Art Class at The King’s Daughters’ School, the photographer, and the graphic designer; you helped us see the music, gave it a beautiful frame, and hung it on the wall. Kenneth Johnson, Jr., a special thanks to you for your pencil portrait. It was an honor to work with all of you.To God, my family, and friends, who’s love continues to bless me. I leave you this quote:“So much has been given to me. I don’t have time to ponder what I’ve been denied.” Helen Keller Know The Hope,Tammy Vice
