I have had many blessings in my life: my family, my friends and my beautiful musical gift from God. I have an infinite number of things to be thankful for. I try to find ways to repay all the amazing people who have shown me unwavering kindness and support and sometimes words just aren"t enough. The songs that fill this album are my expressions of eternal gratitude for one of my more recent blessings. If it weren"t for the continued, steadfast support from this person I would not be where I am today. The purchase of my catalog and the start up of my label would still be distant dreams. These songs were crafted as gifts for the loved ones my incredibly generous benefactor is grateful for in his own life. They are our thanks to all who have made our world a little brighter. They are the gifts from our hearts.
