Hello friends,
It takes a team to achieve awards like these and it's so obvious (by the long list below of friends on this journey with me) that I am not alone on this wonderful musical journey. I wish to thank my many co-writers (who turned into great friends) and colleagues for allowing me to take the ride with them.
I also want to thank my Dad (who is in heaven). He believed in me completely and always wanted me to know that "I am enough". My Mom and I dad both allowed me to reach for my dreams.
Love, Donna
