A THOUGHT FOR ANY DAY... READ PSALM 37:23
Allow the path laid before you to manifest your creative gifts, inspire others and promote change

I've been thinking about pathways a lot lately. My newfound love for photography has helped me capture many variations of what paths can look like and reminded me that our individual paths are just as diverse. I had the great fortune of traveling to Europe before the pandemic and, while I marveled at the iconic landmarks we all know, I was fascinated with the spectacular array of paths and walkways I encountered. The beautiful variety brought to mind the different paths we have all taken - unique paths that tell our stories and that fuel our songs, books and speeches.
With all that's going on around us as a result of a global pandemic, the senseless killing of Black people while in police custody, mass murders and the resulting protests, there has been an awakening like never before. Where do you fit in? What is your path in this uncharted territory? How will you contribute to a path forward with your gifts and callings?
I know we are all praying for God's wisdom and protection as we experience the dramatic events of each day. Stay safe and stay well. Seek the Lord about what you can do and then...do it! Trust that your footsteps are ordered by the Lord and stay on the path He has laid out for you.

Carol & 2018 Workshop Speakers & Special Guests |
The 2018 Workshop took place once again in Los Angeles. The expanded Workshop drew singers, songwriters, authors and speakers to hear from eight outstanding professionals in these fields. I don't know anywhere else creative artists can find this combination of expertise in an intimate setting with speakers up close and accessible during networking breaks!
