While watching and listening to various news reports and saw a segment on Oprah and Dr. Phil’s show concerning, the Soldiers and Armies and their unique challenges of today. There was a certain segment of TV broadcasted news in November 2008 along The Highway of Heros. A young woman stated from CTV News, “I wish that there was something that I could do.” Sonia has decided to say and do something.

While watching a documentary in late May 2008, Sonia saw a beautiful woman, an artist, exquisite portrait painter who lived in the USA painting pictures, beautiful portraits. These portraits where then delivered with such great care to the families of these honorable Angels (Soldiers or Army Personnel), who have taken transit.

This deeply moved Sonia and inspired to tears, She was asking herself, “What can I do?” “What am I doing to make a difference in the lives of these honorable people?” Then, the lyrics and the tune of this song flowed.

She was inspired to create this project by another Angel of Inspiration. Her hope is that this music also inspires you, to be the best you can be and live your dreams alive to the fullest.
