Michael McLean

You guys just don’t even know how much I think about becoming famous, because it is a real possibility. After meeting and talking with Michael McLean, I feel at ease now when the word ‘fame’ is brought up. I feel in control. Growing up, fame was something everyone wanted, but when seen on television, I discovered that the glamour was more like a living hell. This shocked and surprised my little mind beyond any cure, or so it seemed. If I became famous, guess what? I could change the world. I could help others, and my good example would be magnified and I could influence others for the better and make a difference in the world.

I have often wondered how the rest of the world reacts to someone famous. I have wondered what my friends would think of me, and how their opinions would change. Well, sure if you are Beyonce, sure you are bound to be recognized and flaunted before others, but what about Michael McLean? He is incredibly famous, but you probably had to go look him up, huh? Yep. But he is so famous and talented that it isn’t even funny. Now, though, fame has become more than a dream or idea; it has become a reality.

When I talked to him, I realized that fame was more a different perspective. He was very thoughtful and careful (I noted that they tended to watch what they said and learned to respect everyone) , and he always gave rounded answers (ones that lend back to you concluding the answer instead of a straight and direct one). They are a lot different! He is nothing like I imagined! He is funny, kind, caring, and he has a very thoughtful way about him. I just loved everything about him! Someday, with hard work and skill, I hope to become like him in this regard towards fame.

Speaking of fame, guess what? Well….when I talked to him (in my paralyzed and fearful state—a rather teary one, too) I thrust out the fact that I was a singer and that his music touched me and made me feel more loved than I had a long time, because music was my language, my way of understanding things like the world. I feel a connection with him, and it burned into my soul. Anyhow, so when I told him that, he he said that music was magical like that, and he said that when I recorded myself that I should look him up on facebook and send it to him! (but like a recording studio) It was an incredible invitation, and I felt beyond honored. Maybe it wasn’t like, ‘Hey, I might let you sing some of my songs’, but more like a, ‘when you decide to put yourself out there, look me up’. I don’t know where this will lead, but I feel like...dang, more religion!...haha, I feel like God told me to go talk to him. I feel like he knew that I need to hear that encouragement, and that he sent Michael McLean to bring me this message of hope. I feel like this simple invitation could change my entire life. I know it was God, though. Because, see, I talked to him twice. I said hi, I told him my name, and then I just left. But I had this burning sensation that was almost painful that I should go back and just…talk to him. It was WAY intense, but I felt the Spirit, and I knew that I had done what God wanted me to do. I really don’t know where any of this will lead, whether it will lead to fame, or just an increase in self-confidence, but all I know is that God has made me do all of this for a reason, and I feel his love even now. Something good will come of this experience; it is only a matter of time.

 Thank you, Michael McLean, in advance, for changing my life in such a wonderful and meaningful way. I may never be able to thank you enough for all of the tears you made me cry on October 28, 2012 at the simple fireside that you were so considerate enough to attend.  My life will remain forever changed.

With all my thanks and love,
