Lauren-Michael is a special education teacher and worship director. She believes her students have exceptionalities, not disabilities, and leading worship has gifted her with both a church family and renewed faith. With both Master's and Educational Specialist degrees, she uses her education to give her students a voice. As the oldest of five, she grew up quickly to fill the mom role to her siblings. In ninth grade, her mother lost custody of her and her siblings, leading them all to be separated. She then started writing as an outlet for her traumatic upbringing. One day, a teacher saw her journaling and pointed out that it looked like songs. Music became her total focus, ultimately leading her to receive a full scholarship to study voice and music composition. Now living and teaching in Nashville, she performs locally and participates in songwriting collaborations every chance she gets.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… What should our reaction be when a powerful thought enters our dreams?  Plus…Why do people fear snow? It looks so pure and refreshing but people’s lives change at the thought of snow. I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Did you know that one of the greatest musical friendships ever existed between soul icons Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler? In the 1960s, Jerry was constantly at the top of the charts as a solo artist and so was Curtis with his trio, the Impressions. But, did you know the Impressions started out as a quintet with Jerry as lead singer? Though he was only with them for less than a year, his song “For Your Precious Love” was their first big hit. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, music historian and author Scott G. Shea details their story and tells why Jerry left and how Curtis Mayfield, in turn, helped get his solo career off the ground. It coincides with Beat Goes On Records forthcoming release of a quartet of Jerry Butler late-1960s Mercury LPs.

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation
