You can book her band to play for all occasions...just reach out to her and/or check out her schedule to catch them playing a public event. In her own words, Pamela says, “I’ve had a passion for music since I was a young girl, singing, playing cello and piano. I’ve been successful in music, as a wife, in raising a family and have held two successful careers in law enforcement and then as English Teacher for the middle and elementary school level. I am now in the midst of this next chapter of my life, dedicating it to my music career and couldn’t be more excited about achieving what’s been a long-term dream of mine - a full-time music career.”

The essence of my book Doing The Thing is...shifting the focus from what is happening around you to what is going on INSIDE you. This approach makes all the difference between stuck and struggle to freedom and relief.

The origin of the inspiration for Doing The Thing came to me when tragedy struck my own life with the devastating loss of my father (my hero) by suicide when I was in high-school.

Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds. There was the world she longed for and lived in on weekends – her mother’s world, which was the fanatical, puritanical cult of the Moonies – and the world she was forced to live in during the week – her father’s world, which was based in sex, drugs, and the squalor of life in New York City’s East Village in the 1970’s.
