Before even going on air, Lynn Thompson, future host of "Living on Purpose", recorded this interview with Simone Awhina when she was briefly visiting Nanaimo on Vancouver Island in July 2004 for a heart-felt performance sharing her story and music through songs. These songs are her diary writings transformed into songs by her producer Jan Kisjes. Stay tuned for an update conversation with Simone, to trace the steps of her inspired life since then. Her website is www.justsimone.com ~ there is a brief glimpse of "Believe in Yourself" from the CD "Journey through my Soul" to close today's conversation, and this interview includes her voice-only version of a segment of "Journey through my Soul". Enjoy!
