I was travelling years ago and found myself walking along this beautiful beack on an island in the Carribean near Mexico...the beach was full of beautiful people in designer sunglasses and designer bikinis drinking designer cocktails- but none of them looked very happy! I decided that no matter what my life was like in terms of material wealth, the number one thing was to create a life I could love- I wanna Love My Life came to me in one stream of thought while I walked back to my Hotel, and I sang it all through that day and night...
