To write music that blesses others and connects with people.

There are things greater than ourselves.
Happy, and then very tired... :)
There is a lack of confidence and we need to encourage each other more and not be so critical of one another. Teach each other from our own experiences.
It is ok. I have met some nice people with constructive criticisms.

Confidence in what they do. Diligence in practicing and producing.
