Could your high school music program use $10,000? Enter the Get Pitch Perfect With Foreigner contest.

Foreigner has teamed up with the Grammy Foundation to help one lucky high school boost their music program with a $10,000.00 donation. All it takes is a 15-30 second Public Service Announcement about the importance of music in school. The deadline to enter the contest is November 15, 2013. Details can be obtained by visiting http://www.grammy.org/news/get-pitch-perfect-with-foreigner-and-the-grammy-foundation. If this is music to your ears and you plan to enter your school in the contest, best of luck! 

Here's a snippet of Foreigner performing on the Queen Latifah show backed by a high school choir.

CBS This Morning presents Note to Self: Tyler Perry

I've made it no secret that I subscribe to Tyler Perry's newsletter. The most recent letter from Tyler talks about his participation in the CBS This Morning segment called Note to Self. Perry says it changed his life and urges others to write a letter to their younger selves. His is a piece that is loving, introspective,and encouraging yet powerful. Before seeing his, I saw this exercise as experienced by reality TV star and entrepreneur, Evelyn Lozada. Her letter to her 7-year-old self was moving as well. It seems that writing a letter to one's younger self is a tool by which one can bring about healing of past injuries and hurts. It also appears to be painful but in a manner that soothes the old sore places and promotes healing. Only you can decide if it is a tool that you are willing to use to repair the dilapidated areas of your life. Why not? As long as you are still alive, you have the power to change your life. And, of course, you're so worth it!
