Right now is one of the best times of my life. I have so much to be thankful for. My family, friends AND everyone is in good health...PHEW!! To add to that, I am now living my dream. That's right my DREAM. We all have dreams and aspirations....but sometimes we hold ourselves back. We feel like, well what if I can't do it, or I fail. I would much rather try then always wonder what could have been. Now, I am being blessed and living my dream. Making music, performing, meeting my fans and going to the Grammy’s. This is sooo amazing!! This is my journey and it is just starting. I am so glad I never gave up and I always had faith in myself. My message to each of you is always believe in yourself. If you don't, no one else will. It is amazing how far you can go if you really trust your instants and believe. Yeah, I know everyday isn't always the best, but the hurdles make us all stronger. You hold the key and you make the difference....the rest is luck.

I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life the other day. I was on a plane returning to LA. The woman sitting across from me was balled up in the corner crying uncontrollably. I couldn't help but to wonder and worry what could be soooo wrong with her. I felt compelled to say something to her but at the same time, I felt it wasn't my business. I continued to sit and watch this and could no longer stand it. I simply leaned over putting my hand on her back to console her and said "I know it is none of my business, but are you OK?" She was so visibly shaken and about to burst into tears again. With all she had, she mustered up a smile and just said thank you. Much to my surprise at the end of the flight she leaned over and handed me a 2 page letter she wrote to me. She explained to me her sister was going through her 3RD battle with cancer and to talk about it out loud was just far too difficult. She had been with her sister at the hospital in Brownsville, Tx. She was returning home to Minnesota and said it was so difficult to walk away and leave her sister like this. She said how strong her sister was the whole time and was concerned with everyone else but herself. In the letter she expressed the situation in great detail...leaving me in tears. She was so taken by what she called my "act of kindness and my thoughtfulness" To me it was nothing more than showing compassion and caring for another human being. We all have gone though difficult periods in life. I am sharing this story with each of you b/c just by me asking if she was ok......it made such a difference to her in her time of need. It was amazing how such a small gesture made such a HUGE impact in someone else’s life. It is for this very reason that I treat people the way I like to be treated. It is also just goes to show what a gift the human spirit is and how you can make a difference!

I have just recently lost someone very close to me. We all experience this. It always makes me stop and really look at the big picture. The true meaning of life. Unfortunately, I have been going through one tragedy after another for the past few years. I am sure you can imagine....it has really made me take a long hard look around. For a long time I would live my life ahead of schedule. Always living in tomorrow rather than today. I am now enjoying every moment for what it is. There may not be a tomorrow, and as cliché' as it sounds......I just experienced it once again. It won't be the last either, for any of us. I urge you to enjoy yourself and the gift that you have been given. Live, laugh, love and enjoy. It is so easy to look around and complain about things, but it is just as easy to look around and see how blessed you truly are. Trust me, just look around!!!!! I thank you all for allowing me to express myself and my emotions. Ya'll are always so kind in your emails and words, that at times I am in awe. It is such a connection we all have as people, no matter what field of business we are in. Even though I have not had the pleasure in meeting each of you, I feel as if I have gained so many new friends.

As an artist who is up and coming, I have some things to share with ya'll. You know, it always seems like your favorite artist's just appeared overnight....right? Unless you really know that artist's history and how long they persistently pushed and pushed and how many people were behind them. I personally love to hear all the stories of how long it took Metallica, Linkin Park, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, 50 Cent, Kanye West.....I could go on and on. No one is ever an overnight success... in any business. It is the journey of the good times and the bad times that make us appreciate the long haul that much more!! Stories of all the greats before me fuel my fire and inspire me so much. It's crazy as I look back on my journey of where I started and where I am at now. I can't believe it!! I am no longer dreaming it, I am living it. With this being said, the message is to let you know how many people that are behind the scenes that you don't see. They see to it that I accomplish all I have set out to do. They are extremely important to me!! I would likes to thank all of these people who are a crucial part of helping me achieve my dreams. They are the people who have believed in me and stand behind me. These people are not just working with me, they are family. They give me guidance and support me at all costs. My manager, my A&R , my attorney's, my producers, my band, The Kim Kline music family and all the people that are seeing to it that I live my dreams to the fullest. These people all are like me passionate about what they do!!! It is passion that drives us. WE all have the same love of music. It is also God, my family, my fans, my friends, press, radio, venues etc. That allow me to do this and keep me going. I thank you all for the continued support and love. I am thankful for each of you. You all hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for allowing me to share and live out my DREAM!

So many of you email me, support me and spread the word about my music constantly. I don't ever ever ever take this for granted. I try and tell you what it means, but I thought I would really break it all down for you. This way you have a better understanding of me and what I am about.....in case you don't all ready know. In today's music I am sure you are all aware of all of the disposable music and 1 hit wonders out there. To each their own, but that is not the route for me. I pride myself on my music and art. I look to the greats like Metallica, Aerosmith, Tina Turner, you get the idea. They all took their time and built there fan base from the ground up. Look at the loyalty of the fans (and some of you may be fans of the people I listed) and they are still with them to this day. They all watched and witnessed the growth. This is exactly what I am doing. It is about being able to connect, understand and grow with your fans. If you don't spend time on growing and nurturing the relationship, then to me it is a mute point. I am not doing what I do for fame or fortune, all though those things come with the territory. I do this b/c I love music and people. My music allows me to connect on another level with each of you and relate to you. I don't wanna just jump on the band wagon of has beens for 15 minutes of fame so I get some camera time. That is just soooo not me. This is pure passion, love and dreams. My dreams that I am so fortunate to live out on a daily basis with each of you. You watch my climb and my growth. You all cheer me on and fuel me even more. I love that you all really mean it and really stick with me. It brings me to tears at times to see the support. So many of you wonder when I will come and play a show in your city. I will get to your cities and I can't wait!!!!!!!
