But enough about the personal stuff let’s get down to business.

A lot of people had to turn their lives around because of what is happening world wide. People who had a career and a lifestyle either had to give up their jobs or it was made for them by being their no work in the field they were in. Katie was one of those people and she turned her life around by leaving where she was living documenting at the time her journey and moved in the end to Mexico for a while, Became a life coach and acting and modelling in a few things. The way she writes and documents everything is a real inspiration. She kindly let me put together a giveaway compilation CD of her incredible music which I plan to put out some time soon. Currently still working on it.
