When Jaylene let me listen to Nicole's CD "talk about it" I thought her music was going to be just the same as all the others... I was wrong. I thought she would be like everyone else who just put on the show and got the money for it... I was wrong, She wasn't like me.

I used sing other people's song at my concerts and then I heard Nicole's so I sang a few of hers. A few monthes ago I asked her a question about my singing and she encouraged me to sing my own songs and people were not used to me doing that. I am a small time singer, nothing like Nicole, and singing other songs for people gave people what they wanted or so I thought.

So I took her advice and went with it and I sang my own songs at a concert and much to my surprise people loved them. I made some people cry and some people laugh and I felt like a million dollars just like the first time I sang a song.

I am really happy now, I still sing other songs besides mine every so often, a few of Nicole's because they are classic and known but I love to sing my own songs and they have gotten me so many more places to sing.

So basiclly this is for Nicole to tell her that we have never met and with my luck we most likely never will because I live in the most unlikely place for a concert and she would not come to see me out of random because she has a life and she is busy with her singing... You made my life of singing and praise amazing and beautiful. You helped me sing my songs with an open heart to the world and so happy about it. Your insparation made me happy and your words and Songs made life wonderful again, you should me the truth of Jesus and it is so great... Someday I really hope to meet you and see you in concert and if that day even comes, I'd just thank you and just give you a hug becuase now I am happy and I could have never said that before... So thank you. Thank you becuase I never knew you would be my hero.

Yours Always,
Raely C.
