What happens when we write down the visions and speak things out loud into existence? What happens when we are intentional about what we want to accomplish and who we want to be? At the beginning of 2018 I am going to invest in myself and take my songwriting more seriously. So I took a 6-month songwriting course from one of the industry's finest top notch songwriters. Half way into my classes I got asked to write the Alma Mater for TCL Technical College of the Lowcountry. When you think of schools, colleges and universities you may sometimes wander who wrote the Alma Mater and how that person was chosen. Here is a link to the TCL FB Live Event https://www.facebook.com/goTCL/videos/270998163616659/ :: There's so much I will share about how historical and and important this was for me. See Lyrics Below....
