About There Is Hope: One of the most basic yet essential elements any human being needs to be fully alive is the unshakable belief in and deepest knowledge of being loved, unconditionally. When present, he or she is free to trust, and lives passionately; and loves self and others without limits. The desire to be fully alive is a gift, forever burning softly within our soul. This release is a collection of songs written over the past twenty years. Each song came in the midst of some very painful consequences resulting from times when I "chose unwisely" yet, heard in my heart... "there is hope"..."I believe in you"..."you are loved"
