Music - Messenger to My Soul
This UNESCO-endorsed "New Songs for Peace" project is intended to encourage people to think about peace, talk about peace, and write a new song that we will collect and self-publish in a book. These new songs will promote peace, cultural acceptance and understanding for those who work towards peace throughout the world.

Original "pozmic" positive music - not mindlessly happy, doesn't ignore the concerns of our world but provides comfort in knowing that we are not alone. Her songs could be your story, bringing a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, and definitely touching your heart. Smooth jazz meets pop/rock
During a very tramatic time it was Karie's music carried me through. thank you Karie
Although I have included the Youtube videos here you can listen to a much better quality sound at Karie's website.
Playing For Change is a movement to connect the world through music.
Michael Tomlinson
"With his honey-warm voice and earthy, uplifting lyrics, Seattle-based singer/songwriter Michael Tomlinsons songs comfort the weary soul."
Widely known for his friendly concerts, funny stories and warm, goodwill onstage, in the 1990s, Michael took his performing in a new direction and began hosting weekend retreats called "A Gathering of Friends" using his music to bring people together in friendship, laughter and goodwill to a rustic village on the Olympic Peninsula. It was a fulfilling time and many of his new songs came directly from that time of communion and soul searching.
My favorite songs of Michael's "Dawning of a New Day" and "Everything is Going to Change" are not available on youtube but can be purchased from itunes or directly from Michaels Site.

State of Shock
This young Canadian Band touches my heart in a very deep way. For me it is an example of how support from family and friends combined with never quitting your dreams can bring success.
I have watched one of the musicians in this group since childhood. The passion and dedication to music even as a young child was amazing and I am so full of gratitude that I could witness the progress from amazing child to truely amazing adult.
State of Shock
A sweet song from a sweet friend that is travelling the world singing to the children.
