"When contacted about contributing to a book called
Words of Wisdom ... Experts Share Strategies for
Mastering Life and Business Relationships, my first
questions were, "How did you find me, and why would you
assume I'm an author? I write music and lyrics. But
thank you for your consideration." I'm neither an
"expert" on relationships, nor am I consciously
cognizant of "strategies" to build those relationships.
I'm not a sociologist or a psychologist, but I sure do
love and care about an awful lot of people, value
lifetime relationships, and thought I could give this a
try. I'm glad I did because I enjoyed the entire
process! I titled my segment "Sustaining Meaningful
Relationships ... A Pathway to Harmony". Grateful to
learn a lot about myself throughout this project, I
found that I'm better equipped to offer practical
applications and help with relationship-building skills
than I realized. It was a wonderful opportunity to
personally assess these skills and consider how to share
what I've learned from my own life and business
experiences. I also discovered I'm more resilient and
perseverant than I gave myself credit for. These are two
of many character qualities to which I referred in the
book that are strong indicators of whether a
relationship endures the test of time and its many
challenges. My experiences with life's seasons of
adversity have been the best teacher in developing and
honing these attributes.
I am so very thankful for your faithful support of my
music endeavors through the years, and I'm excited to
record another CD in the near future. I hope you'll
enjoy this new writing venture. I've thoroughly enjoyed
reading the exciting variety of viewpoints and
creativity of the other authors, and I think you'll
agree with me that Words of Wisdom is a great read!"
