TED ANDREWS, ANIMAL SPEAK- http://www.dragonhawkpublishing.com/TedAndrews.htm
Growing up with an American Indian brother, Anthony "Spirit Dancer" Ray Edwards, my deep love and respect for Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants was greatly encouraged.  When I started to notice that I was naturally fascinated with certain animals (such as the butterfly, which is why it is part of the Rock My Spirit! logo, eagles, rabbits, woodpeckers, turtles,  cats) and noticed that there seemed to be a pattern surrounding different animals appearing at the "perfect" time, this book opened up a whole new world of understanding and reverence for for these encounters.

BARBARA STANNY, SECRETS OF SIX- FIGURE WOMEN - http://www.barbarastanny.com
This was the book that solidified my life-long desire to teach and facilitate growth for others.  When studying this book with a group of wonderful women who really got the concept of  "do what you love and the money will come...", I discovered that they (and many others, and even ME at that time!) were still wanting to get clear about finding their core passion.  Out of this was born "The 7-Year-Old ExcerciseTM" and the notion that exciting music , speaking, and empowering others could coexist quite nicely under one umbrella (which later became "Rock My Spirit!")!

If I had only 5 CDs to bring with me for all eternity, one would definitely be Seal's "Seal II" CD.  With the power and beauty of "Bring it On" to set the tone, it is abundantly clear that this CD is all about calling the human spirit to a higher place.  A huge influence on my writing style and vision of what music could be and do - Seal's music has been a great catalyst in the culmination of Rock My Spirit!

STING - http://sting.com/
One of the musical geniuses of our time, in my opinion, Sting's wielding of words and unique musical arrangements is prolific to say the least.  Yes, he certainly does explore the full range of emotion, but his artful sculpting of a piece, amazing ability to express in multiple styles and ability to always allow his music to evolve into new places truly delivers a song for every season of the soul.  On of my favorite feel-good CDs (also one of my all-time ttop 5) is "Brand NewDay"- "Desert Rose" and "A Thousand Years" have a mystical quality that always take me to a magical place and "Brand New Day" is just plain fun.  Sting has been and IS one of my favorite artists EVER and has also been a major influence in my work.
