Karen Reynolds being inducted into the East Tennessee Writers Hall of Fame for Songwriting

By cynthia • 21 Jul, 2019
[Karen Reynolds] "Songwriting and music are my life's work and, certainly, my passion. It has provided me a 30+ year, full time career that is both a blessing and a privilege to pursue, and has filled my life with cherished friends and experiences far beyond what I ever imagined. Still, there are days when you wonder if anyone is truly listening.....hoping you have made a difference in some way. Then....there are days like this: I am humbled, proud, and honored to be inducted into the East Tennessee Writers Hall of Fame for Songwriting."#SongwriterOnAMission #Thankful#Gratitude
