SPEARMAN, Texas (STPNS) -- LaDonna Gatlin, singer and motivational speaker believes one defining moment can redefine our lives. She knows firsthand that we can't live someone else's dream. She will appear in Perryton on Thursday, March 6th to share how we can be our personal best as we find our own voice to "Sing the Song in You."

Arkhoma Transports, Inc. and Leadership Perryton will host LaDonna as she presents an entertaining, thought provoking and motivating concert at Community Worship Center in Perryton. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. With the generous sponsorship by Arkhoma Transports, Inc., admission will be free of charge.

LaDonna literally grew up on stage singing with her brothers - the legendary Gatlin Brothers. In the early 1970's the Gatlins took their family to Nashville. But a detour appeared when LaDonna got married. At this defining moment, she realized that success for her could be measured in a different way. She took a giant leap of faith, chose to follow her heart and "sing a different song" apart from her brothers. She has spent her entire career empowering people to "sing their won song" and to live life from the inside out by words, deeds, and actions.

She has shared her message from corporate powerhouses to prison cells. LaDonna speaks from the heart with stories that are the stuff of life. Her presentation will drive home common sense wisdom for everyday living. She will include gospel, country, pop and patriotic songs as she shares her stories. An active member of the National Speakers Association, she has earned its highest professional designation, the Certified Speaking Professional. In July 2005, LaDonna was one of 5 inductees into the Speakers Hall of Fame, a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism. She has recorded 4 solo CD's and is a contributing author to the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. To learn more about her, go to www.ladonnagatlin.com.

Don't miss the opportunity to hear LaDonna. Her outstanding vocal performance along with down-home humor and storytelling will definitely send attendees off on a high note. Families are encouraged to attend along with business and community members. Admission is free.
