OK - I will admit it. Since 2005, one of my mini-passions has been Josh Groban. What can I say? Well for one, the man has an awesome voice that exudes passion and romance, while at the same time envelopes the worthwhile Cause of helping children both abroad and at home. I have worked with his charity on several occasions to help further such efforts. The inspiration for my first book (see below) came from Josh Groban's work as an ambassador with the Nelson Mandela Foundation. I figure I've spent hundreds of dollars trotting the country after him during tours and put in as many hours of effort and hard work in an effort to raise funds for his charity. Granted, there are many "Grobanites" that have far exceeded my personal efforts as far as number of concerts attended and money raised through various mediums. I'm certainly not at the top of the heap in that respect, but I do give credit to Josh for the ongoing inspiration he offers through his music and charity efforts. I love making blankets for the orphanage in Africa and creating beautiful gift baskets for the online auctions that also raise funds for the charity. I have made genuine and endearing friendships for a lifetime with people I have met online in his fanclub. He has given many people hope and opportunity to be creative and to live a purposeful life. His music may not be overtly Christian, but can certainly be understood in that way. So hats off to Josh Groban for raising us all up with his voice, his charm and his generous spirit.
