A few weeks ago a good friend of ours, John Castleberry, called me and told me he wanted to help heal Debbie. Being a musician, he chose music as his medicine. So he began compiling a CD of music by musicians Debbie knows and loves. John, Debbie and I know many musicians but I really thought that contracts and other legal strings might prohibit artists from donating songs to a project such as this. But when we began asking, everyone of them said, ''Of course we'll give Debbie a song!"

Some are even songs recorded especially for her. John, who is in the music business in Nashville, is directing this project and wishes its benefits to be two-fold: Firstly, All proceeds from the sale of Healing Beauty will go directly to a fund specifically to help pay for Debbie's standard and alternative medical treatments, and secondly, to warm Debbie's heart and bring her healing.
