Dear Friends,

Some of you may have noticed that my calendar has been quite empty for the past few months and that new songs have been few and far between. Usually I am able to still be busy with my music along with the countless demands as a wife and mother, but over the past year music has taken a new priority (although I still managed to squeak out a new song here and there over the past 9 months).

Our fifth baby was born June 1st. Quite a darling little addition and a tie breaker. Now we have 3 boys and 2 girls. A month later we moved across town into the home we've been building over the past year. I've never been so exhausted and so happy all at the same time - although I declare that moves and babies do NOT go together. The organization of our new home is slowly coming along and our baby is already smiling and cooing. Ain't life grand?

I want to say thank you to each of you who have supported me over the past year by purchasing CDs and songbooks, sharing my music with your family and ward, dropping me kind notes of encouragement and for giving me a reason to keep writing! You have kept it going without me! It's been just over a year since "Thy Healing Hands" was released and it has been so thrilling for me to see how well it has been received. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! There's more to come!

THE NEIGHBORHOOD JUKEBOX - THE CONTEST

Your LDS Neighborhood and Greg Hansen have teamed up to create "The Neighborhood Jukebox". This is a place where songwriters and singers can get heard. It is also a contest where they can submit demos and have them voted on. At the end of the year, there will be selections made to be part of a fully produced album. Songs and artists will be judged based on several criteria including number of views and votes.

Several of Sara's songs are there waiting for your vote! Some are demos from a while back when she was just testing out the recording waters and some are more recent - most you will have never heard! Please feel free to take a listen and leave your vote and your comments. In addition to Sara's songs, you'll enjoy many other great songs by other established and new artists. It's a great place to visit!
