My Best Days

12.02.09

As we travel on this journey called life, we sometimes have to go through things that we don’t want to go through.  We don’t choose these things, nor do we care for them. But, sometimes, unwanted situations are thrown into our laps.  The question then becomes “what do we do?”  Many of you reading this can probably think back a week, a month, or even a year, and recall difficulties that you have encountered. One’s that have made you feel as if you have been “set back”.  However, it is an awesome thing when we can see a glimmer of hope in the midst of a tough situation, latch on to it, and build a new life.

When I was in the thick of my depressed state, it was very hard for me to see a silver lining from my position.  Quite honestly, I shot down the possibility of hope numerous times.  While I knew I needed something better to happen for me, I am not sure that I believed it could happen.  It almost cost me the opportunity for my American Idol audition.  A last second decision and support from my closest friends helped get me over the hump, and out of my cloud of hurt and frustration.  If only for a second, I was able to think differently and dream “what if?”  It was this window of hopeful thinking that allowed me to get past the first round of auditions, carrying me over into the second and third rounds, and eventually to the live television show.  Each of those steps opened my heart more to believe I could have a purpose in life again.

On November 16th, 2009 I began a promotional tour for my new single entitled “My Best Days Are Ahead of Me”.  It truly speaks of where I feel I am at this point in my life.  I have been given the glimmer of hope that I’ve longed for through my music career and Sophia’s Heart.  I have already experienced better days since the darkest season of my life, and I understand now that there are better days to come; my best days!

I want to express my thanks to you who have shown unconditional love and support for both my musical career and non-profit cause.  It is largely because of you that my dreams have become a reality.  You have inspired me to continue on, and I now want to encourage all of you to move forward and walk into your best days!
