I can't have a blog and NOT write about the death of Michael Jackson.  He quite literally shaped my childhood.  So many people say this, I know.  But I was absolutely in love with Michael Jackson.  I was in fourth grade when his Thriller album came out.  I became obsessed with him.  As my older sister could tell you, I had nearly 200 pictures of him...most of them posted on my wall.  I would kiss each one before I went to bed.  I got a brand new winter jacket and wrote his name all over it with a red marker.....I wrote his name on everything...including my training bra...seriously got in trouble for that one.  My dad was a high school basketball referee and one Friday night I showed up with Michaels name all over me....that got back to my dad and I was in trouble.  I was just a weird little girl who was obsessed with Michael Jackson.  I bought a book from my "weekly reader" in elementary school that was about his childhood.  My friend Andrea and I read the book together on recess and we were bawling.  We had read that Michael had no friends and was lonely.....that just haunted me and I cried for him....and for me, now that I think back on it.  His music made me dream.  I dreamed about music...it was in my head all the time.  I stopped dreaming a couple years later...maybe around 8th grade.  I started to try and fit in a little more. I stopped singing at the top of my lungs and I stopped dressing like Cyndi Lauper....I thought that would make me happier.  But it never did.  Finally, at age 28, I started to dream again...only because my life had become so sad.  I began writing the music in my mind...and I became a little weird again (and happy again).....Hallelujah!  Thank you Michael Jackson for your positive contribution to this world of ours. 

So this great new website positivemusicanddownloads.com is promoting my music and also featuring me on their radio show this week.  Please check out my radio interview with Greg.  Also they are offering a free download of my song "I am blessed":))  Love it! 

My husband and I recently had a baby girl. We named her Presley Taylor Call. It has been 8 years since my last baby so I’m still getting used to having three kids. The other day someone asked me how many kids I had and I answered 2! The pregnancy was very difficult but now I feel great and blessed.

Most Recent Music News:

I have had three of my songs selected for commercially released Christian albums. This is exciting for me because I love hearing other artists sing my music!! Here is a sample of the latest song that will be coming out shortly: Stay.

I serve in my church as a music coordinator for dances (often referred to as Stake dances). The influence of current pop music is everywhere!! I have teamed up with a fabulous songwriter, Jeannine Lasky, to create a new album of pop/top 40 dance music!! I love this project because I love Pop Music!! However, the lyrics and influence of regular top 40 is YUCK. How easy is it to write uplifting lyrics to the same beats?? Very easy. Please check out my latest Dance tune here: Put Your Faith On. Oh…and please check out Lily Rubio. She is the artist behind the original version of this song. I am a huge fan of her music!!

I continue to speak at conferences, firesides, events, etc.!! Most recently, I was honored to speak at the Junior Miss Utah Pageant. I brought along two of my favorite people, Jen Handy and Lisa Harris to help with the singing. It was so much fun and these young girls are phenomenal!!

Speaking of Jen Handy and Lisa Harris...We are teaming up to bring you an album of songs with themes of recovery from addictions, depression, and you name it :). Please listen to By The River for a sample (sung by Jen Handy).
