I can play exactly four chords on the guitar. For my husband's fortieth birthday in February, I decided to write him a song anyway.

So, this evening was a typical night at work, when this individual came in and made my day! I do believe it was Chris who came in and a very simple compliment on the store made such a difference. I had no idea who he was, but he handed me this bracelet, that read "living is so big" and said as a token of his appreciation he wanted me to have it! I said thank you so much, and told him about my gold bracelet that broke last week that I wore on that wrist. Well I got home and decided to google "life is so big", I never would have believed what I was watching, and reading. What an amazing thing. So I just want to thank YOU Chris, for making a huge difference in my life. And from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you. I will not take this bracelet off and I will share your story with everyone! Still smiling :). Mandy from CVS.

Hey, i'm Corey Steinhauser, and Living is so Big.

My reasons for living are very simple. I am a very helpful guy and I can't stand to see people upset or depressed so I usually go out of my way to put a smile on their face because in my late teens I dedicated myself to helping anyone who asked for it. My other reasons are my beautiful family, my mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law, their 2 sons and all my friends that have become so close to me, that they got inducted to the family. My final reason is music, you can listen to music without hearing it but if you can truly listen to music and let it move you deep inside and inspire you then there is nothing that you can't do.
