Speaker 1: Last year, I had the pleasure the privilege of chatting
Speaker 1: with one of my heroes, somebody that I just absolutely adore,
Speaker 1: Chrissie Mets. Chrissie is the award winning actress who is
Speaker 1: known as Kate Pearson on NBC's This Is Us and
Speaker 1: I Am addicted to it. I love it and Kate Pearson,
Speaker 1: the character Kate Pearson played by Chrissie Mets, is one
Speaker 1: of MY favorite favorite aspects of the show. At that time,
Speaker 1: when I interviewed Christie the first time, she and Devon
Speaker 1: Franklin had recently started in Breakthrough, an incredible movie that
Speaker 1: had just been released. But for some reason, during that
Speaker 1: initial conversation with Chrissie, I neglected to talk to her
Speaker 1: about her singing. She performed the single I'm Standing with
Speaker 1: You that was featured in the movie Breakthrough. She also,
Speaker 1: as her character Kate Pearson, sings and This Is Us
Speaker 1: and I completely neglected to talk about that. Her performance
Speaker 1: and breakthrough with I'm Standing with You led to her
Speaker 1: Country Music Award debut in April of twenty nineteen, alongside
Speaker 1: all sorts of big names. Now, she has signed with
Speaker 1: Universal Music Group Nashville and is quite the Star. Her
Speaker 1: debut single, Talking to God, has led to this conversation
Speaker 1: talking with Delilah and I'm so thrilled to welcome Chrissy
Speaker 1: back to love someone with the Lilah. Hi, Grizzy, how
Speaker 1: are you? Oh my god? I love you? Oh, I
Speaker 1: love you. Have you been well? You know, Corona? But
Speaker 1: other than so, where did you Where did you end
Speaker 1: up sheltering in place? Um? In Nashville? So, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: been since March twelfth, got here, Um, I came to
Speaker 1: finish the album and literally the record stop, literally, And
Speaker 1: so I've just been here ever since. And I mean,
Speaker 1: I love it. It's so beautiful here and I'm not
Speaker 1: very far from my family, which makes me feel a
Speaker 1: little a little more more comfort, you know. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we've been in Nashville, my best friend and I so,
Speaker 1: And did you go there thinking I'm going to finish
Speaker 1: this album, I'm going to go in the studio, I'm
Speaker 1: going to produce it, I'm going to get it done.
Speaker 1: Or did you go there thinking, oh my gosh, coronas
Speaker 1: spreading like wildfire. I'm just gonna go hunker down, like
Speaker 1: where was your head the night of March eleven? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we literally I have one suitcase. I've been rotating four
Speaker 1: dresses for the past couple of months. And it was
Speaker 1: we're going to be here for like a week maybe
Speaker 1: and head back to l A and you know, get
Speaker 1: some stuff done, but and get ready for the tour
Speaker 1: that was going to happen June three. So we did
Speaker 1: not plan. We were not in the headspace. And then
Speaker 1: when we got here, everyone's like, oh, there's going to
Speaker 1: be like a shelter in place, um, and we're like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? So literally, I and I bought
Speaker 1: a home in February, so there was nothing in the
Speaker 1: house there still really isn't think good as we had
Speaker 1: some beds, but we were like, we need groceries and
Speaker 1: dishes like what. So it was it was kind of
Speaker 1: an adventure to say the least. But um, yes, thank
Speaker 1: goodness for Amazon and and everybody, all these central workers
Speaker 1: who were able to even get the packages to us,
Speaker 1: because I was like, I don't know what we're gonna do, um,
Speaker 1: And you know, we had to wait, of course some
Speaker 1: time for things and I have like a hodgepodge of
Speaker 1: furniture that was just available to arrive. So it's been
Speaker 1: very interesting. So the night that you're packing up to
Speaker 1: go to Nashville to start producing your album. I packed
Speaker 1: up five kids, two outlaws, my ex in laws, uh,
Speaker 1: three dogs, a cat, myself, and my husband and we
Speaker 1: headed to my husband's ranch because before we married, he
Speaker 1: had a beef ranch and our how the house he
Speaker 1: has is eleven hundred square feet. Oh wow with nine people.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you're camping. Yeah. Yeah. And because my husband's
Speaker 1: very utilitarian, you know, he he If he has a
Speaker 1: piece of furniture, if it works, it works, that's okay,
Speaker 1: you know, and bet on the floor is okay. And
Speaker 1: so there wasn't a lot to work with when we
Speaker 1: got here, and I had a suitcase just like you,
Speaker 1: I was rotating for T shirts. Yeah. Yeah, So it's
Speaker 1: been interesting, but but good. I mean, I I I
Speaker 1: think we've grown a lot as a family. So absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's like either like grow out or dissolved
Speaker 1: and from people you know, and relationships have been dissolving,
Speaker 1: which is you know, I think everything happened for a reason,
Speaker 1: and however it sort of comes to you and what
Speaker 1: you can of course learn about yourself or your relationship
Speaker 1: or partnership. Um, it's important for whatever your evolution is
Speaker 1: and so it's really forcing us to see like, oh,
Speaker 1: what's important to us and what, um, what can we
Speaker 1: tolerate and what do we want in our lives? You know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's been fascinating. Uh is an understatement. The
Speaker 1: biggest blessing to come out of the Corona shutdown for
Speaker 1: you personally, Christie Matts, I think it reflections time for myself. Um.
Speaker 1: So much of my life has been about everybody else, um,
Speaker 1: because I never wanted to sort of look at the
Speaker 1: stuff that I was pushing down or you know, not
Speaker 1: wanting to think about our work through and I'm was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I know, the only way to do it is to
Speaker 1: go through it. And going through whatever trauma or you know,
Speaker 1: childhood issues that we haven't really contended with. Um. When
Speaker 1: you're forced to be quiet, forced to stay in one
Speaker 1: place and be still, all those things aren't floating up
Speaker 1: to the surface. And I'm like, wow, there's a lot
Speaker 1: that I have not been able to deal with, our
Speaker 1: shoes not to deal with, and now is the time
Speaker 1: to do so. So that to me has been a
Speaker 1: really big blessing because I feel like I'm evolving in
Speaker 1: many ways that I think I really needed to. So
Speaker 1: so did you journal, did you write? Did you do
Speaker 1: twelve steps? Like? Yeah, all the things any which way reading, journaling,
Speaker 1: my therapist, UM, you know, all all the ways that
Speaker 1: UM I was able to sort of how many boxes
Speaker 1: of Kleenex or was that one of those things that
Speaker 1: you didn't have access to at the time, Like did
Speaker 1: you use a towel to dry your tears? What? What
Speaker 1: did that look like? The one thing, you know, the
Speaker 1: one thing we did have was Kleenex because they didn't
Speaker 1: have toilet people at Costcow, so we definitely had clean
Speaker 1: x UM. And yeah, you know, I've been doing a
Speaker 1: lot of UM water shedding, I guess we should we
Speaker 1: could call it and crying and just feeling so many
Speaker 1: different feelings UM. And I think there's such a shift
Speaker 1: happening in our world and our perceptions and the way
Speaker 1: that we look at things and it all, you know,
Speaker 1: everything is being affected. So yeah, no, I've been doing
Speaker 1: some crime for sure. When I was younger and was
Speaker 1: forced into that position where I had to look at stuff,
Speaker 1: I had a wonderful counselor, a Christian man. He was
Speaker 1: a pastor that had retired and become a counselor, and
Speaker 1: he said, Delilah, I want you to sit with the pain,
Speaker 1: and I want you to embrace the pain in this
Speaker 1: very you know, quiet mellow voice. And I like at
Speaker 1: him and I said, I'm paying you sixty an hour
Speaker 1: you embrace this pain, right, which at the time was
Speaker 1: all the money in the world to me. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was like, wait, I'm paying you to make this pain
Speaker 1: go away. Okay, That's what I was young, you know,
Speaker 1: and I thought, I'm going to go to therapy. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna talk for a few minutes, and then I'm going
Speaker 1: to be all better. M h. I know. I don't
Speaker 1: want to feel these feelings. Yeah, that's the whole point
Speaker 1: of where we do all the things that we do, right, Like,
Speaker 1: we have these uh I don't want not everybody has addictions,
Speaker 1: but things to fill the void, whether we're shopping or
Speaker 1: social media or drugs, alcohol, food, whatever you name it,
Speaker 1: whatever is accessible to us because we don't want to
Speaker 1: feel the hard feelings. We don't want to sit with
Speaker 1: the feelings because it's uncomfortable and if we've never felt
Speaker 1: them before, you're like, wait, what is this? What in
Speaker 1: the hell is this? Um, then it's hard it's hard,
Speaker 1: but it's important, it's necessary. And UM, I gotta say,
Speaker 1: last year when I interviewed you because you had done Breakthrough,
Speaker 1: how did we not talk about your beautiful singing voice?
Speaker 1: How did how did we miss that part of the conversation.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think, you know, there's just so
Speaker 1: much to talk about with with break thing in particular,
Speaker 1: so maybe that's something we just you know, we're focused on.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, for me, music has been my
Speaker 1: first love. It's been what I wanted to do and
Speaker 1: so healing for me. When I used to go to
Speaker 1: church on my own, I went there because I loved
Speaker 1: the music and I could connect through the music. And
Speaker 1: that's something that I think everybody understands that they're music lovers.
Speaker 1: It's a universal language. And you know, now working on
Speaker 1: an album and having a single out and all of it,
Speaker 1: my little girl dreams are you know, really coming true.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's so surreal, it's so wonderful. So
Speaker 1: when you're on um this is us that your character
Speaker 1: Keith Pearson sings is a singer, is a performer, but
Speaker 1: never really seems like the character development over the last
Speaker 1: four years. She never really gets to to do that
Speaker 1: breakthrough thing where she has a single right, which I
Speaker 1: would kind of like to talk to the writers about that,
Speaker 1: because I she should, but you know, there is two
Speaker 1: more seasons for sure in real life you get to
Speaker 1: do that. How cool is that? I know? It's such
Speaker 1: a gift and it's not lost on me that you know,
Speaker 1: just having the ability to use your voice is a
Speaker 1: huge deal, and then to have people want to listen
Speaker 1: to it is another huge deal. And to just share
Speaker 1: things that means something to me and things that I've
Speaker 1: been going through, our gone through, and to to put
Speaker 1: those experiences to a beautiful melody and to create music,
Speaker 1: it's unreal. And then all the musicians who are involved
Speaker 1: in the producers and everybody that makes you know, the
Speaker 1: whole machine work. It's such a gift and I can't
Speaker 1: even express how grateful I am for it because it's
Speaker 1: such a I don't want to say luxury because it's
Speaker 1: a necessity, but it's it's feels very luxurious. So so
Speaker 1: when you were a kid, you said, this is your
Speaker 1: little girl grown up dream. When you were a kid,
Speaker 1: um school choir, church choir, where did you find your
Speaker 1: voice to perform? Yes, I used to make little video, um,
Speaker 1: little tape from my boom box in my room. I
Speaker 1: was just like making up melodies and singing, but I
Speaker 1: was too afraid to share that with anybody. But music
Speaker 1: was always, you know, always singing. And then in middle
Speaker 1: school and my mom couldn't afford an instrument for a band, um,
Speaker 1: but all the cool kids were a band. I was
Speaker 1: like a great and so choir obviously free and I
Speaker 1: could you know, go and do that. And so I
Speaker 1: really was like, oh, this is where I was supposed
Speaker 1: to be all along, and then to learn how to
Speaker 1: sort of blend with many people's voices but also still
Speaker 1: have your own, and it just sort of opened up
Speaker 1: something for me. And then it wasn't until high school,
Speaker 1: my senior year, where I actually had enough courage to
Speaker 1: join for auditions for the chamber choir, which was a
Speaker 1: competitive choir, and we did state and all those things,
Speaker 1: and my acquire teacher, Ms. Roll Ill, I'll never forget,
Speaker 1: she's so in the mental She like really encouraged me
Speaker 1: to do a solo that year, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, oh my god, this is this makes
Speaker 1: me so happy, and then she nominated me to do
Speaker 1: um to have a scholarship for a chorl camp at
Speaker 1: the University of Florida, and that was like, oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: no question. So that was sort of, you know, a
Speaker 1: bit of a journey. But I just had to keep
Speaker 1: sort of having these experiences to know that that's what
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. So yeah, a long time. But
Speaker 1: then when I met my manager, she was like, let's
Speaker 1: put music to the side and let's focus on acting.
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, what, So hence the reason why,
Speaker 1: you know, I put the long way around. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that acting thing didn't turn out so bad for you,
Speaker 1: you know, Oh my gosh, it's what I wanted to do.
Speaker 1: Like I've always wanted to tell stories, whether they were
Speaker 1: to music or you know, on TV and film. So
Speaker 1: it's exactly what was supposed to happen, because I don't
Speaker 1: think I would be as vulnerable in my music if
Speaker 1: I didn't have the vulnerability of the character and of
Speaker 1: the show. You know, I have lots of kids, and
Speaker 1: so I've I've gone through phases of parenting because my
Speaker 1: oldest is now forty one and my youngest is four,
Speaker 1: and for about ten fifteen years in my parenting career,
Speaker 1: I had kids that loved music, that loved music, so
Speaker 1: I got to be the choir mom and go on
Speaker 1: the field trips and take them to their state competitions,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, they were all about I had
Speaker 1: four that were all about drama and music. And it
Speaker 1: was such a joy because I can't sing a damn note,
Speaker 1: but I love music. It courses through my veins, it
Speaker 1: it plays in my head, it speaks to me in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. I wake up and write lyrics,
Speaker 1: but I can't sing. Okay, I can sing a note.
Speaker 1: I have a three note range. That's it. So so
Speaker 1: long as the tune is in my three note range.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Happy Birthday to you exceeds my
Speaker 1: three note range. Um, you know, but I love it
Speaker 1: so much. And so I miss what was her name,
Speaker 1: your miss Rollo, your acquired teacher. I know the thrills
Speaker 1: she must have felt encouraging you to do the solo
Speaker 1: and to see like I can feel her feelings, to
Speaker 1: see that talent blossom because I got to do it
Speaker 1: with Shayla and Zach and Christie and and my kids,
Speaker 1: and it's there is nothing in my life as joyful
Speaker 1: as seeing my kids discover their talent and then spread
Speaker 1: their wings and fly. So I bet your mom and
Speaker 1: miss Rollo we're just cheering you on and so thrilled
Speaker 1: to see that happen. And now if there's still a
Speaker 1: part of your life that must be such a thrill
Speaker 1: for them. Well, yeah, I can understand because I know
Speaker 1: how and I, you know, encourage and champion and cheer
Speaker 1: lead people that I love and I want, you know,
Speaker 1: to see them happy and exceed. I do know that feeling,
Speaker 1: you know, not as a mother, but as as a
Speaker 1: friend and as a sister. And I get it. I
Speaker 1: do get it. So talk to me about talking to God.
Speaker 1: How did this come about? Well, interestingly enough, I didn't
Speaker 1: co write this song. It was on an Ashley McBride
Speaker 1: writer's retreat that it was written, and I, you know,
Speaker 1: friendly was Ashley and with the other writers. And my
Speaker 1: manager was like, oh, you know Nicolette, who was a
Speaker 1: dear friend and we've written a lot together that will
Speaker 1: be on my EP and my album. But she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, Nicolete wrote a song the song today, You're
Speaker 1: probably gonna like it. And he just was sending it
Speaker 1: to me because I love to hear everything and I
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, like, who's cutting this and
Speaker 1: he's like, I don't. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if actually it or not. And I'm like, well, if
Speaker 1: she's not, I feel like I want to tell this story,
Speaker 1: Like I know what it's like to, you know, have
Speaker 1: remorse about doing something or not doing something, or saying
Speaker 1: something or not saying something, and thinking about somebody, even
Speaker 1: if they're not in your life anymore, or if they've
Speaker 1: passed all or if I'm you know, I was married
Speaker 1: for many years and obviously I've I've grown tremendously from
Speaker 1: that relationship and relationship since, but you know, I know
Speaker 1: what it's like to think of I think we all
Speaker 1: do to think about someone who may not be in
Speaker 1: our lives, but like we can still think about them,
Speaker 1: and that we can learn how to forgive ourselves and
Speaker 1: how we just moved gracefully through the world. And so
Speaker 1: it just for the song that I was like, I
Speaker 1: want to I want to tell the story. Can I
Speaker 1: sing it? So that's how it came about move gracefully
Speaker 1: through this world. When I think about some of the
Speaker 1: people in my past, I'm not I'm not really moving gracefully.
Speaker 1: I agree I'm trying. I'm trying, but I'm trying. I'm trying.
Speaker 1: So the first time I heard the song, somebody had
Speaker 1: mentioned you had released a song. This was before you know.
Speaker 1: I called my sister and I'm like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: you've got to hear this. You've got to get ahold
Speaker 1: of Christie. You've got I got to talk to her
Speaker 1: about this because somebody had sent it to me, a friend,
Speaker 1: knowing how much I miss my son, and they said,
Speaker 1: I think God wants you to hear this song today.
Speaker 1: Oh my God, and Chrissie. I was bawling in the
Speaker 1: car because I talked to God every day to tell
Speaker 1: my kids I have two boys in heaven now three
Speaker 1: because we just lost my steps on. But I was
Speaker 1: a wreck. I mean I was sobbing the ugly tears
Speaker 1: the first time I listened to it, And then the
Speaker 1: next time I listened to it, I thought about past relationships.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been divorced more than once, and the
Speaker 1: forgiveness and the grace that has come with time, and
Speaker 1: forgiving myself for some pretty bad choices I made. And
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just kept every time I listened
Speaker 1: to it, it would bring up a new layer of
Speaker 1: God's grace and love and mercy and healing. And so
Speaker 1: I called my podcast producer and I said, I you
Speaker 1: to talk to Christy about this song because it is
Speaker 1: so beautiful and so moving, and I know that if
Speaker 1: other people could just like wrap their ears around it
Speaker 1: and wrap their heart around it, God can use it
Speaker 1: for good. Thank you so much, so so beautiful, and
Speaker 1: I mean that's why I get it, you know, that's
Speaker 1: why I love music so much. And I you know,
Speaker 1: I love a good song because it is so healing
Speaker 1: and you feel like, wow, I'm so a little less
Speaker 1: alone because somebody else is going through it and it's
Speaker 1: so beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with me. And
Speaker 1: that's what I felt when I when I heard the song,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I just this is about it.
Speaker 1: It's got to be heard. So yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: a special song for many reasons and for many people.
Speaker 1: So I'm just grateful to be able to sing it.
Speaker 1: So with everything the world is going through right now,
Speaker 1: not just communities, not just families, but the world. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think that we need this song now more than
Speaker 1: ever because I think if we didn't have God to
Speaker 1: talk to, how would we get through this. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know. I really don't know. And you know,
Speaker 1: so grateful that we we do have that conscious contact
Speaker 1: with God because it is it's been difficult, you know,
Speaker 1: and and we don't even understand other people's plates and
Speaker 1: how people have been hoping and dealing with their own
Speaker 1: lives for so long. So yeah, there's a lot going
Speaker 1: on run and I I feel like it's a positive
Speaker 1: shift in the right direction of just knowing that we
Speaker 1: are all more like than we are different, and that
Speaker 1: we're all equal, and that we an't want the same thing,
Speaker 1: which is to be loved. So I know you can't
Speaker 1: answer this because we don't know the time one on anything.
Speaker 1: But do you think by the end of the year
Speaker 1: we can get the full the full album? How many
Speaker 1: songs have you done? Yeah, I would like to have
Speaker 1: the full album done by the end of the year. Um,
Speaker 1: we have five songs right now that we finished prior
Speaker 1: to Quarantine that we're going to release on an EP
Speaker 1: by I believe September. And then the second song that's
Speaker 1: coming out I did so write and it's called Actress
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a sad breakup song, and I'm
Speaker 1: really excited about that one too, and that should be
Speaker 1: coming out with UM probably the next months. Wow, So
Speaker 1: you've been busy and are you doing all the Zoom
Speaker 1: meetings and publicity from your whole year? Oh? Yes, I
Speaker 1: mean I'm so spoiled because I just walked into the
Speaker 1: living room and I'm like, oh, here, here, I am
Speaker 1: on a radio tour and I'm not traveling around the country.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, do you have like a curling
Speaker 1: iron plugged into the wall there, and so when you're
Speaker 1: off camera you're putting that's what I do? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: haven't touch it up myself. Yeah, I mean it's I mean,
Speaker 1: I love makeup and here, and you know I used
Speaker 1: to it myself. I wasn't amazing at it, but I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I gets a home these skills and figure it out
Speaker 1: and you know, do the best I can. But it's
Speaker 1: so funny the progression. So like initially people were like
Speaker 1: in the pajamas, don't care what their hair and whatever,
Speaker 1: and then now like slowly people are like, oh gosh,
Speaker 1: I want to feel some sort of sense of normal ty,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put on some clothes. I wouldna do
Speaker 1: my hair, I would do my makeup, you know. So
Speaker 1: it's been it's been really cool to see that sort
Speaker 1: of unfold. In my house, it went the opposite direction
Speaker 1: because my girls were all doing online school. So I
Speaker 1: have three girls that are all doing online school, and
Speaker 1: the first week or two weeks, maybe even three weeks,
Speaker 1: they would get up and they would you know, fix
Speaker 1: their hair and and look cute for their classmates. And
Speaker 1: then you know, by the end of the school year,
Speaker 1: which just finished, they're laying in bed like pajamas on.
Speaker 1: They haven't even brushed their teeth in you know, the
Speaker 1: whole day. And I'm like, okay, yeah, I'll do this
Speaker 1: last sign. But I'm like, wow, how did we go
Speaker 1: from wanting to look cute for the boys in your
Speaker 1: school to this? And they're like, Mom, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: at this point, don care at this point. True, It's true,
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, what makes me feel good? What do
Speaker 1: I want to do? What do I not want to do?
Speaker 1: So any chance that are we having discussions about the
Speaker 1: next season of This Is Us? Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: have a Zoom call scheduled this week, so we're going
Speaker 1: to sort of find out what and how it's going
Speaker 1: to look if when all that, Um, I know that
Speaker 1: there's so many regulations because the actors have to be
Speaker 1: protected and since we won't have PPE and the crew can, like,
Speaker 1: what does that look like? So I think we're just
Speaker 1: between the executives and the studios and everyone just trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going to be the best safest road.
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll find some clarity, um the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. But they were saying possibly September. We usually
Speaker 1: go back in July, so I don't know, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, I started on radio, like, so
Speaker 1: if the storyline had to have like a dedication for
Speaker 1: the family throughout the ages, I'm just putting it out there. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. You know, we could just use my studio
Speaker 1: and the request line right here and I could do
Speaker 1: dedications to the Pearson family over four decades. I'm just saying, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So what's the what's the You're going to release a
Speaker 1: five song? Uh c D what E? Yeah, it'll be
Speaker 1: an ET five song ET hopefully in the fall, and
Speaker 1: then the next single Actress will be coming out within
Speaker 1: the next probably months. Okay. So I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: call you back in a month because I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: to talk about that too, Becau. As soon as I
Speaker 1: hear it. If it if it's a sad breakup song,
Speaker 1: you know it's going to fit on my show perfect.
Speaker 1: I would be an honor. Yeah, of course to call
Speaker 1: me anytime. Christie. I admire you, I respect you. You're
Speaker 1: such a talented actress. You have such a beautiful voice.
Speaker 1: But the thing I love most is how your heart
Speaker 1: comes shining through like and everything that you do. I
Speaker 1: see the love of God shine through you. M. Don't
Speaker 1: get me crying on this phone. I just I want
Speaker 1: you to know that that shines through that that is
Speaker 1: it illuminates you and all that you are. M thank
