Bring a little "Tenderness" to a national epidemic: Domestic Violence and Abuse At a time in our nation when a woman is battered every nine seconds, but there are more animal shelters than safe havens for victims of abuse and domestic violence, your help is greatly needed. Help me...to help you...help them. I recently dated someone who had a history of being abused. The main challenges of our relationship stemmed from her inabilities to love herself and to trust me. We realized that she needed more time to heal and that ultimately, we would both be better served as each other's friend. I had never been in a relationship with someone that had been abused, so it was a learning experience for me. As a result, I have a whole new understanding of the long-term impact that abuse can have on someone. As importantly, I realized that in a real sense we are all victims of abuse. In an effort to help bring about greater public awareness to domestic abuse and the need for greater support for its victims, I have written a song titled, Tenderness. Tenderness is about accepting love after abuse. The chorus echoes, "Let me heal your bitterness with a little tenderness..." embracing the victim's emotional challenges with acts of kindness and a commitment to be there through the healing process of closing the gaping wounds of a painful past. I truly realize that it takes more than a hug and some flowers to make a difference. As part of National Domestic Violence and Abuse Awareness Month, I will sing Tenderness at numerous powerful and important events around the United States. In fact, I am one of the featured artists in The Tenderness Tour - Artists Against Domestic Violence and Abuse. Produced by Jett Entertainment and scheduled to start in November, the tour will feature an eclectic array of stars coming together to raise public awareness of domestic violence and abuse in all of our communities. "The Tenderness Tour" will showcase different national headliners in every city. Buy "Tenderness" now!
