I sure enjoyed watching all your on stage moments as your proud Mom. Now you're stepping onto a new type of stage but still very much up to the challenge. Soar high darling daughter. I'm here to cheer you on, mommacita

Thank you Amber, you are right, I’ve felt Him working in each phase, this couldn’t be done without Him.

I love the way you're comparing one of your most frightening and exhilarating moments on stage to your "soon to be" book debut. I remember well the night you stepped onto that stage. My heart took flight that evening. Now I get to watch you step on this new stage. Believe me when I say the emotions are same! All the best to you Miss boop-dee-boop-girl.
