Although his latest album, Troubadour, is "an absolute epic", it doesn't compare to hearing him perform live. <a href="http://knaanmusic.ning.com/" target="_blank">K'naan'</a>s voice, raw and soulful, draws you in. His lyrics talk of struggle, perseverance, disappointment, heartbreak... life... but it's his sincerity that really touches you.</p>
<p>One of my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIhm94a-8SE" target="_blank">favorites</a>. Thank you for such an inspiring evening... xoxo</p>

The days when life seemed so much more simple. But even when the world got more complex with school and distance and work, they find themselves many years later, full of love, married and with a child on the way... and I guess it doesn't get much more simple than that.</p>
<p>Jeff and Nicole... you are such a beautiful couple with a truly special love... thank you for sharing an afternoon with me. I can't wait to meet the new addition... xoxo</p>
