I would like to say when I turn the project over to the label that I have been successful. And that's truly the way I feel. But, in addition to the self-pride in 'making' a good album, to be honest, I'd love to have a hit record! If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all. Then; I will feel like I've been successful! I hope they like it all. Then, I'll know my time was worth the investment.

I want it all! I would like to be CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, ACM Female Vocalist of the Year. I'd like Song of the Year. I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy. It's a great feeling to be recognized by your peers. It's an even better feeling to be welcomed and accepted by country radio and its listeners. If desire is any part of this equation, then I'm a contender!
