Beautiful background and music.

Elegant, enchanting, melodic, inspiring. Debby's calming movements (especially by the water under the trees)) and Jeff's sweet song and lyrical guitar make the perfect marriage of harmony and heaven! Thank you for creating, sharing and posting! :-)

Thank you for sharing Debbie! Refreshing to hear a song from the heart of one of our own who appreciates our Michigan. I agree with Phyll...your movements so calming and you look you are enjoying yourself so much. I remember the days when you introduced me to Jacki Sorensons arobic dancing! Those sure were fun times!!
