Just as the song goes, life is full of ups and downs. It goes up, and it goes down. This is the story from Tara Felina and how that "Jump Rope" life of hers has kept her grateful for today and hopeful for better tomorrows.

Tara and I connected in December 2018 through Facebook and an online Blue October forum. Once we talked and I found out she had written a book with a Blue October song (Jump Rope) as the title, we were destined to connect. Shortly thereafter, she traveled to Dallas, Texas and met with me to record for the show. Join us here in Episode 9, as we talk about "Jump Rope" and how music has been therapy for her.
