Surgery... While in most cases when faced with this decision it is based out necessity. There are always risks and changes as a result of an invasive treatment like this.. But just imagine, finding yourself in the situation that your only child at two-months-old is required to undergo one of the most dangerous types of surgery? How would, How could, process this? Elizabeth, lived this moment by moment for years. She chose to be a guest to use her story to strengthen families walking through a medical crisis. I know we say it often... But this is a MUST listen! You can't prepare for a crisis but she is a testimony that you can survive it without losing your mind. 

More about Elizabeth: 

Multi-talented, singer, songwriter, and aspiring hair dresser LaRay was born into music. She grew up in South Berkeley California in a family that lived for music and was the one person besides her mother (Ms. Pam) blessed with the gift of voice. LaRay was also given the gift of range. At the age of 5, LaRay and her two sisters (Nichol and Jaye‘) recorded their first tape with their father (G), compiled of childhood playground rhymes like humpty dumpty. LaRays voice started to develop. 

She took this time to sing in the youth choir with her sisters until her best friend and grandfather (KAM JAM) who had previously had a record label, took her and her sisters to sing karaoke. This was a test to see how she would do outside of family and outside of church… LaRay passed. Unaware of the talent she truly possessed, LaRay became fascinated with learning to play the piano. Her father who plays keyboards for Special Request took her under his wing and she made him a promise “one day daddy ima’ be better than you”. LaRay still practices daily to live up to that promise. LaRay continued singing in church, also sang for her high school and at local community events. Currently at the ripe age of 31, LaRay is not only enrolled in college taking a double major: cosmetology and music. she is very involved in church, in her community and works with kids at the “Young Adult Project” (YAP). A recreation center she has roots in, that has supported her career from the start. Her biggest supporter of all is her 5-year-old niece (Poopy) who sings along with all her songs while she practices. LaRay's inspirations start at home and go on to include Beyonce, Destiny’s Child, Mariah Carey, Regina Bell, Anita Baker and many others. She is motivated and determined. Destined to go far LaRay is Ready Now, as she has stated on her first single that can now be found on iTunes. A personal Thank you from LaRay: …..
