It's  All  About  the  Voice !

Kathy's  Philosophy  &  Ponderings

When I began my singing career in 1977, I had no idea of the fascinating mix of challenges, discovery, frustration, fulfillment and exhaustion lie ahead. Talk about a full-time job! 

I have learned to become a true self-starter, thanks to thousands of mentors and those who inspire me to excel. I think that for us, work and creation go hand in hand. While we work and use many of our creative skill sets, we build strength as we immerse ourselves in dedication and persistence. It's like a muscle you build and it is a part of your lifestyle.

When you believe and manifest passion through joy on the journey while you pursue your life's goal, then the work and practice become a way of life and an integral part of each day. You grow to love - and even crave - practice and work with your whole soul.

All any of us can gravitate towards is giving forth in our community, creating a good, just life for you and your family, and living in positivity and growth so that we can leave the world a better place because we were here. The most wonderful thing is that when I go to sleep each night, I rest knowing that I did my best that day.
 

I want to thank everyone who has touched my life. You have all been my teachers and we were connected somehow. I believe we enter each other's lives for a reason that may not be apparent to us at the time. Some people are life-long friends, some only grace our presence briefly. Some people we encounter again later inlife if there is some "unfinished business" !  We are all teachers and students for each other. It is the sum of our adventures - and what we make of them - that makes us the person we are today and will become tomorrow. I owe thanks to everyone I have ever known.

I look forward to continuing my own journey of personal and professional evolution. I also look forward to being of true service to others in the time I have been blessed with in this life. "
