When I turned my heart and attention away from the world of commercial country music writing and toward heart-opening, healing music… it was a scary, lonely road. THEN, along came Sue K. Riley. I am forever grateful to her, for her vision, her bravery and her tireless efforts to grow this “Posi” music and get it out into the world. She IS the Posi Goddess, and I adore her! - Karen Taylor-Good, Grammy-nominated songwriter
