Mother's Day Tribute: She Put The Music In Me

It's not often that I blog about other artist's music. Mostly because I write about mental health and relationship topics these days, but also because it takes a lot for me to be really moved by a new artist. I prefer singer-songwriters who have a unique voice or style and who has something important to say. Occasionally, an artist comes along that I fall in love with and I can't help but spread the word. Enter Calee Reed. A little flattery doesn't hurt either...Calee says that my music has inspired her over the years. I have a passion for mentoring younger women and so knowing this makes me smile (and feel kinda old).Calee began writing songs for her album "The Waiting Place" while watching her mother suffer from terminal cancer. During this trying time in her life, music lifted her up and helped her cope - and she is compelled to share that hope with others who might be enduring similar challenges. Her first single and music video She Put the Music in Me is a touching tribute to her mother's love. Before you start the video, grab a tissue. Consider yourself warned...If you download this song on iTunes, proceeds will be donated to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.Happy Mother's Day to all of the women who have touched my life.Feel free to share this song with other women in your life.
