I had to laugh when I read today’s Daily Prompt:
Daily Prompt: Mix Tape Masterpiece
Photographers, artists, poets: show us MUSIC.
That has been my mission, my goal so to speak. I am a musician as many of you know. God has opened doors for me to play every week at Janesville Apostolic Ministries in Janesville, WI with my husband, Bob. We had a Church Dedication yesterday that was absolutely amazing. I’ll use another post for that. Let’s just say Ms D had a blast singing and dancing!
I also write, sing, and record songs about breaking free from Domestic Violence. Silent No More – that’s me. Singing about what really goes on behind closed doors when you live in abuse. Not to glorify what happened, but to raise awareness. People don’t know what happens unless we tell them. People can’t help the next woman out of abuse if they don’t know how or what to do next.
Here is my Bio from Broadjam:
Diana is a Music Minister, Blogger, Poetess, and Recording Artist based in Southern WI. She has received many TOP 10 AWARDS from Broadjam, Inc. in the Jazz, Country, Folk, and World Categories.
Diana Rasmussen is a Soul Survivor. She plays live at the local coffee shops and leads the Worship Team every week at Janesville Apostolic Ministries. Her songs focus on overcoming adversity, breaking free from domestic violence, and living beyond depression. Fans have called her songs, “haunting, powerful, and edgy”. Diana sounds like Annie Lennox and Bonnie Raitt, and there is a raw honesty about her lyrics.
WALKING WOUNDED by Secret Angel and Diana Rasmussen
Mixed/Mastered by Chameleon
Diana (PrayersandPromises) and Secret Angel (Secretangelps911) met on WordPress. Having both come from a past of abuse, they have a lot in common. Secret Angel has written a book sharing her story, “THE WALKING WOUNDED”. Secret Angel wrote the poem “The Walking Wounded” and Diana put a portion of the poem to music. A portion of the proceeds of this song will benefit Secret Angel Ministry.
