Let the Music Play!

Wow..it has been an amazing couple of weeks. Of course coming off the Leadership school was the most amazing adrenline rush, and then we went to Costa Rica for 2 days which was incredible. Alejandro won his 17th grammy and we went with him to see his last concert of 40,000 people screaming his name. It was pretty spectacular. I mean, here people are hardly make a couple hundered dollars a month and spend their money going to see someone who makes them feels good for a couple of hours. The people are so happy there and they are all wonderful. It was amazing. The President of Costa Rica was there with us supporting Alejandro and his country. I understand it, music soothes the soul. It makes you feel good, it can change your mood from bad to good, music can lift your spirits. The concert made us feel great. I love watching a artist who loves to sing...just sing his heart out. Alejandro does that with his heart. His last concert was supposed to be in Venezuela, however Chavez banned him from his country because Alejandro spoke about him being a dictator, after he cancelled Alejandro twice from performing there. How terrible to take away the love of music from people's hearts and souls...it is like taking away their FREEDOM...that is what Chavez did. I love music. I know that Kevin Buckman spends so much of his time on the portal on itunes! It is his favorite store because he loves how music makes him feel. He spends hours on it at night, listening to new artists and downloading his old favorites, and of course he gets IBV for doing it on the portal. I mean why not...you can change your mood in a moment, get paid for it and share it with others. Kevin gets it, JR and I get it, and Alejandro gets it for sure. In a world of iphones and ipods, why not use itunes on the portal and soon the marketamerica.com entertainment portal to download all of your hearts desire's. Listening to music to take you back in time. Have you ever listened to a song and your mind can take you all the way back to that moment, you can almost remember exactly what you were doing at the time. (I guess sometimes you dont want to remember that moment, but most of the time it makes you smile:) It makes you feel young again. I wish peace and freedom to all those in the world...and to those in Venezuela, I wish you love and peace, knowing Alejandro cant wait to sing to you one day. I was speaking to him about it the other day and he said, "Loren, I wont stop until I can sing to the people of Venezuela, and I will one day." and I believe him... I know he will. Until then, Let the Music Play...
much love and freedom,
Loren
