Music has always been Kim Burrell’s first language. Long before words formed fully, melodies carried the truths her heart already knew. Through every season of life—joy, loss, triumph, and transformation—she learned that harmony isn’t found only in music, but in the words we choose to believe and speak. Sticky Notes: Harmonizing Affirmations was born from that truth. Just as a song can shift an atmosphere, a single word spoken in faith can change the rhythm of a day.

As a child, she craved stories and songs more than sustenance, and it's no surprise, perhaps, that they ended up being the central thread of her unusual, often amazing life. In the '60s, with her singing partner, Joso Spralja, another immigrant to Canada, Malka formed a singing duo that made world music a domestic hit, and though they rarely sang in English, they eventually had one of the bestselling records of the era and a CBC TV show after Hockey Night in Canada.

Growing up is hard to do, but the kids on Gossip Girl sure made it look easy—and sexy, to boot. Set in the always-alluring penthouses and exclusive clubs of New York City, Gossip Girl followed, as its intro said, the “scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite,” through the eyes of an omniscient narrator that had her eyes, ears, and hands in everything. Gossip Girl was enticing in a “lifestyles of the rich and famous” sort of way, but when you added on the fact that these pretty people had pretty problems and someone watching their every move, it was almost too good to resist.
