She has spent the last several months doing speaking events and radio and television interviews, discussing her book Live with Intention: Ten Steps to Creating the Life of Your Dreams. While most people her age are still trying to figure out what they want out of life, Adair is living her life on purpose and loving every minute of it. She is committed to living consciously and consistently grows to be the most effective and loving person she can be. Adair is recently went back to the classroom and is teaching high school Spanish.

He has written over 300 songs, produced dozens of albums (including 27 of his own) and won numerous awards in his musical career, including most recently Best Rock/Funk/Dance band in Quality Forward’s Asheville Earth Day 2008 band competition. He spends much of his time performing with his band The MasterPlan and recording music in his Asheville studio. His album Passion & Purpose was written when he was invited by Bob Proctor (from the #1 New York Times bestselling book The Secret) to play music at the LifeSuccess consultant training. It is written in first person, touts only positive lyrics and is the perfect companion to Adair’s book.
