Smiling Children’s Eyes
The song was inspired by actor Will Smith; the pending death of my father; the things people do to project the appearance of success in Hollywood; as well as a series of other seemingly unrelated events.
The song’s main theme, however, centers around the idea that cultivating self-worth, self-knowing, self-value, and self-esteem within the hearts and minds of children.
Step Into the Now
Tonya wrote “Step Into the Now” which was inspired by Mindfulness Meditation practices, such as Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka during 10-ten Silent Meditation Retreats near Yosemite, California during the late 1990s. The song was later recorded and produced by Athoas Brown in Hollywood, California in the early 2000s
