Motivation From The Master #2

"Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe." -Gail Devers

It's great to see your friends that struggle towards something they have an extreme desire for and to see that they are a few steps closer to grasping it. Here's my story.

My friend Shara aka Shahrrah is part of my motivation in this post. She is a young, fighting rebel here in VA and she is very passionate towards the art of music. Seen and met her around VCU during my undergrad days and thanks to Facebook, MySpace, and local venues down here I was able to see her grow musically as an artist.

I would say she's definitely into hard rock and metal, metal, METAL!!! But she does have a softer side when it comes to her acoustic sets. She can really make your heart melt and body warm up with every strum and solo she can do on an acoustic. Seriously, she is pretty damn good. But don't let that fool you, she can grab an electric and shock you up to 11.

But it has been a struggle for her with things going on in her life but it looks like things are starting to pay off for her and then-some. She recently performed with the band, O.C.D, at Norva and she was hyped!!! Now she's gearing up for a show down at Virginia Beach with the band next Sat at the Geared Up Rock Bar & Grill.

If your in the area...you should go to it. Here's a link to the bar. (Geared Up!)

Plus she is working on her album that should be coming out soon. She teased me with Safe In My Own Skin (S.I.M.O.S.) which was really well done both the studio version and her acoustic solo she made herself. Can't wait for it to come out!

Shahrrah is definitely working hard to make her musical fantasy a true reality. Why shouldn't you? I'm not forcing you to grab a guitar or a drum set but get out there and do something that you love and have a passion for. It's out there, you just gotta find your passion.

Don't doubt your dreams...Shahrrah isn't.
Turn your dreams into your passions.
