Tragic ending to a Tough Battle

I have been following the story of a magnificent young lady named Jasmine Anema since last year when the story broke of her having a severe and rare type of Leukemia. Since then Celebrities, Politicians and normal people alike have come to the aid of this brave little girl, urging bone marrow donors to come forth. It saddens me to have learned via her twitter page @ONEFORJASMINA, that she has lost her courageous battle.
Please don't let this tragedy go without continued support! Jasmina was able to show the world that courage come in any package big or small and that faith and a smile makes any day brighter. Below are several links that you can go to for further learning on Jasmina and Leukemia...

Daily News: Jasmina Anema, brave six-year-old who captured New Yorkers' hearts, loses battle with leukemia

My prayers go out to Jasmina's Family, Friends and especially her best friend Isabelle bravely fought this disease with Jasmina.

HOT NEW MUSIC!!!!!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a true music lover and for me I find music of all genres intriguing and even more than just simply the music is the people who create it. I have been fortunate enough to be able to meet many artists, producers, etc. and it never seems to surprise me that they are more similar to their music than people may think.
Recently I meet GAVIN, a young Chicago native who is CRAZY talented; his new single "Stuck in my Head" gets constant play from me. Let me introduce you all to a new guy ready to take this industry head on... Listen HERE----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgBXVBlfDE8

I hope you LOVE him!!!!
