Faith Rivera
 Songs are a fun & accessible way to instantaneously plant a new thought, open your heart, inspire others to a grander way of being. My greatest joy is for you to use my songs as I have used them for myself and as other singers, dreamers, motivational speakers and empowering organizations have done as well. Enjoy sharing the music and positive vibes! --Faith Rivera

Dana Cunningham
 Dana composed her rendition of Silent Night in the beautiful country church illustrated in the painting, used for the cover of her CD, of her home setting in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
From the inside cover of her Silent Night CD she writes: These are the carols I have loved to sing through the years. Melodies - heard perhaps a thousand times - that are still somehow fresh and new. I offer them as an invitation, as an ancient door to the deep, universal place of Love and Peace that is Christmas. May we truly abide in this place in ways that heal the world. I give thanks for those who expressed their love in so many ways and who now shine from within this music.
Her favorite quote:
Within every human being are doors that lead into the inner sanctuary ... these are ancient doors like the doors of the temple, and what we are encouraged to do ... is to be "door keepers." We open the ancient doors not just for ourselves but for one another and the world. - J. Phillip Newell

Tina Stefanos
Hi Mary,
Before my son went to Afghanistan with the Army National Guard in Ocala, Florida, I wrote a song entitled A Soldiers Mom. If you think, as I do, that it may bring comfort to others who have loved ones serving our country, please feel free to pass it on.
My husband and I have 2 terrific kids, Marci and Ryan, 22 years old and yes, they're twins. My husband, Chuck, and I have been married for 24 years (25 next year!). I don't remember a time that I haven't been singing and playing and love sharing my music. I perform in the Orlando area with JazzTank, a 5-piece group of wonderfully talented musicians.

A Teacher's Love
| |
|
|
| This song was written for my daughter's first grade teacher, who was a remarkable teacher. Each day she would begin the day by taking the date, and using pennies and other items, make a little math session out of it, incorporating English into it, and even history. It was done in such a way that the kids really learned to love to learn. That was her teaching style. She left the school, but not without a lot of tears from her students and her students' parents, which of course is pretty rare.
After the Columbine incident, this song was also presented by the PTA to all of the teachers prior to their return.
