I was watching American Idol when I saw a clip for the next weeks episode, and it really inspired me. Little did I know, my brother Ronnie and my sister Ashley both heard of his story. His name is Chris Medina and he's got a rock star voice. The guy can really SING. But what makes him special is the fact that he has taken care of his girl Juliana like a TRUE MAN, "for better or worse," after she was in a car accident, in October 2009, leaving her partially paralyzed and significantly brain damaged. Chris never left her side and plans on marrying her within the next couple of years.

This inspired me soooo much that I reached out to him to let him know how much he has inspired me and many others in this world. The message I received back was very gratifying. Chris had found one of my Motivational Bracelets on the ground outside a Gym somewhere in Chicago. Well, I live in Kansas City. It must have fallen out of my bag when I went to Chicago to visit my family for the holidays. In the message he said, "I wore it to my audition and look at it and believe in it when helping my girl..." WOW. That doesnt happen!!! But I'm soooo glad it did. I'm glad I can motivate people all over the world. This just proves that anything can happen, God works in mysterious ways. MOTIVATION is what keeps people going. That's why I love what I do everyday.

If you are reading this, please watch and read this story and let it affect you.

Chris, YOU are DA MAN. I wish you, Juliana, and your family the best. I hope you do great with American Idol and your future singing career. You've got a GREAT VOICE brutha...keep using it. Good Luck!!!
