“From God’s fullness we have received grace upon grace” John 1:16

Thank You! ...to all the wonderful musicians on the album (all 18 of you!) for sharing your beautiful and unique gifts! I have so enjoyed performing these songs with you over the years and now to have them recorded is a dream come true! A huge thank you to Carole & Roger Tomhave for your endless support, creative ideas and incredible ears! I love you guys! A very special thank you to Bob Bencze for your generosity and professional excellence in recording all 18 musicians! To Marilyn Bencze for graciously welcoming all of us into your home... every weekend! To Theresa Thoden for getting the CD started by connecting me with your wonderful family! To Randy Leago for your genius engineering once again in the studio! To Dave Hieronymus at Chelsea Records for your lasting kindness! To Catherine Hollo for your amazing graphic artistry... thank you for another beautiful album! And to Sally & Paul “Sunshine” for opening your BIG hearts and lovely home to me (again & again!) in Nashville.

“Follow Your Road”...this album is a collection of my very favorite inspirational songs. I began singing them in 1988 after moving to Hawaii where I was introduced to the Unity Church by my dear friend Sharilyn Shields. 18 years later, I continue to sing these wonderful songs at Unity of Fairfax, my beloved church home here in Virginia. May these songs uplift and inspire you as much as they have me. They remind me always of God’s ever present loving Grace. May they remind you too! Enjoy!

Love, Donna

Thank you to my awesome husband
Tom for making this CD possible!
All my love to you forever!
