Susan Carol... The Artist

Music is always and forever a vibe.  A connection that is both personal, and memorable.  With poetic and infectious energy, Susan Carol is entering the music scene smoking hot.  She has a voice that makes you sit up and pay attention to truly immerse yourself into the experience of her sultry and captivating voice.  Raised singing in her family’s church choir, music was and still is a huge part of her life.  Changing the game one freestyle at a time, you will fall into her care-free and classically perfect Neo-soul trance.  Come along, because this is a ride you surely don’t want to miss.

I believe that music is one of the truest forms of love and expression.  Tell us a bit about your background and how your musical journey began?
My dad was a pastor so I was raised singing in my family’s church.  My whole family was musically inclined in some way, so music always played a huge part in my life. The REAL musical journey or artistry that you guys see today, started in 2010 when I went away to college. I really found my voice and writing style in those years. That’s when I decided to start
performing and releasing music, essentially becoming Susan Carol - The Artist.

Your freestyle sessions are addictive.  I am certain I watched nearly all of them. You are giving classic, care-free, Neo-soul with a slightly raspy and sultry voice and it’s insanely infectious.  How does it feel when you are completely uninhibited and in your zone of creativity?
Thank you so much, I love that you love what I do! I love it! – When I’m in that creative space, I feel an extraordinary amount of liberation. That’s when I’m the most vulnerable and real. In that space, I can truly express my feelings without judgment and transform them into something beautiful to give to the world.

Horror In A Small Town

Uvalde Texas, a small town with a population of a little over 15,000 and predominantly Hispanic is located in the South Texas region approximately 50 miles east of the United States-Mexico border and sits at the crossroads of the nation's two longest highways, U.S. 83 and U.S. 90.  These highways go from Canada to Mexico and Florida to California.  Honey from Uvalde hives was well known across the country and Uvalde was named the honey capital.  A small town of citizens who dream big and take pride in their community. [1]

For most, routines are part of the norm.  Hit the snooze on the alarm just enough times so you aren't late starting the chores of the morning.  Crawl out of bed, wake the kids, make breakfast, get them off to school and start your day to accomplish all the things you need to before it's time to pick up the kids from school or meet them at the bus stop.  Hearing their voices, feeling the warmth of their hugs and the coolness of their wet kisses on your cheek is at times the only things you need to make everything right in the world.  

How does one go about preparing themselves to pick up the pieces after such a horrible tragedy?  Why does the same nightmare keep happening all over again and how do we begin to fix this problem?  ​

Coloring In The Lines

You've found your perfect home.  The location is ideal for many reasons.  Close to family, a 20-minute commute to the office which isn't that bad considering the rise in gas prices, and you are close to shopping which is your favorite past-time!  The price could have been better, but you truly got a great bargain so complaining will do you no good, and besides, no one is gonna listen anyway.  The only thing left to do is start packing to prepare for your grand adventure.

If only it were that easy!  In most stories there is often a 'but' somewhere just waiting to jump out and yell, surprise!  If 'caption this' was an option it would most certainly be UGH!  

Moving into a new home is one of the most exciting adventures.  It's a blank canvas for new beginnings, crafty ideas, and a heaping pile of DIY projects that are brewing in your mind.  As you begin to visualize your space, both inside and outside of your home, there will be many ideas.  Some will allow you to add just the right amount of appeal, however, they might not be too friendly for the budget you have set aside.  Other ideas look nice but you aren't quite sold on what you are seeing.  Trust me, if you have to look at it more than 5 times to convince yourself this is the one, you won't be happy with the end result.  So, back to the drawing board you go in hopes of finding the perfect solution that will not only be easy on the eyes, but allow you to remain inside the boundaries of your budget, and a project that is well within the possibilities of doing it yourself.  ​
