18 years ago on this day, I was literally reborn. I drank my last bottle of wine on April 2, 2005, passed out and woke up determined to live a sober life. I surrendered to a power much greater than myself- and since then, my life has been full of miracles. I am grateful. 🌸🌸🌸🌸

and my favorite thing from that night was getting to sing back up vocals on the Bangles hit, "Eternal Flame!"
In 2019, I recorded a cover of Gordon Lightfoot's haunting "If You Could Read My Mind" for my Runaway Horses 30th Anniversary box set.
It's one of my favorite songs.

I was lucky enough to actually sing with her and spend a little time together. It was a privilege for me to be in her presence and her light and what a light that was.

hit the

spot with our debut album, Beauty and the Beat. The album stayed at number one for six weeks.
The achievement placed us in the Rock and Roll history books.

#3
on the Billboard charts, along with 'I Feel the Magic' and 'Band of Gold', both of which were also released as singles.

When I posed for Playboy for the August 2001 issue, I was intent on making the point that you don't have to be skinny, blonde, wafer thin or be 20 years old to be sexually viable or viable as a woman.
