This songtext is so fantastic, I felt like I had to do a homedeco for my new office with just a picture and a few words from it. Already framed it, sorry for the bad Picture, but I hope you like it like I do.

I met Sharon Wheat while visiting an art show in SF and was invited to her studio to play.
She was teasing me about having an itchy photographic trigger finger,
which set off a gigglefest.
Such a joy-full moment!



Julie
"When you smile be sure to smile wide. when you walk, walk with pride. When you dream, dream big. When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud."
I took creative liberties and chose my favorite words and turned them into a goal for my daughter!


Now it's Your Turn!
