Artist description The songs are written and sung from the heart, and the music reflects the growing philosophy and awareness of the Goddess culture, and the Celebration and Sacredness of life. Michelle was raised in a musical family, and began performing and writing songs when she was a child. Currently she performs her music, and a bit of Irish music, throughout the Midwest USA. When Donna Lieurance came to Michelle, in the Fall of '98 and asked her to donate her music to benefit the Community, Michelle allowed some lyric changes to her songs in the spirit of giving. These songs were given with the intent for the music and profits to benefit the Earth Spirit Community. Unfortunately, the original group the Cd was meant to benefit, no longer exists. However, the profits from the Cd are still serving communities all over the US.
