What happens when you put Jana Stanfield, Karen Taylor Good, Faith Rivera, Harold Payne, Richard Mekdeci, Sue Riley, Matt Wilder and David Roth together for 4 days in a huge house on Clearwater Beach, FL?  Music, music, music!

I love Christmas.  I love the playful nature of the season, the toys, the spirit of generosity.  When else can an adult justify sitting for hours building a Lego castle to put by the tree or setting up an elaborate lighted snow village with a train chugging around it?  I often wonder when it was that I started to think that I needed a reason to stop working and play for a little bit? 

I spent this past Sunday afternoon in Tampa, Florida at an outdoor park.  What a glorious, beautiful day to be outdoors!  We had come together as an interfaith community..dedicated to raising awareness about an upcoming chance to make our voices heard.  I have to say we made our voices heard this day!  The trees were swaying with the music of emPower artists Harold Payne and Faith Rivera.  They rocked!
