BE defined by Mercy, Kindness and Truth
A Joyful Sustainer of Righteous or Virtuous Information (AJSRVI), that’s me…the meaning of Evangeline Yolee. Decades ago, I took a course where we researched and wrote out the meaning of our names. It is a very powerful thing, because you see yourself differently, and begin to walk in the essence of who you are. You OWN it.
Fast forward a couple decades, I was sitting in prayer, and the vision appeared. A woman sat playing a guitar. As she played, golden musical notes rose from the instrument and rose towards heaven. Her eyes were closed in bliss as the music swirled around her, enveloping her in a magical cocoon of love. A song poured out at that moment… He Reigns!!!
THE JOURNEY BEGINS
2011
Heard Garage Band could help you learn the guitar…
PURCHASED an iMac!
2011
PURCHASED an Oscar Schmidt online!!! Fiddling around as I’m known to do, immediately broke a string…or two!!!
2011
Off to the Music Outlet, down the street, to purchase strings. (Wonderful brothers own it… and yes they restrung it for me) They were very kind, and offered me guitar lessons with the instructors that work there. (LOL)
2011
WELCOME to one of my guitar lessons with Dr. Pat Corn (an incredible man and an incredible musician). At the end of my lessons, he would play my homework assignment for me slowly, so that I could record them (my request). I wanted to have what it ‘should’ sound like as I practiced.
Side Note: I never intended to sing. He asked me to so he could write out the songs in ‘my key’. I was clueless… In the words of SQuire Rushnell, that moment was a “Godwink” for me!!!
June 2011
I had NEVER sung for anyone before, let alone in front of a crowd…until Pat asked me to.
During a lesson right before Father’s Day, he asked me if I would sing “America” at the Smoky Mountain Cowboy Church (SMCC). Services were held at The Miracle Theater. I went to visit him there, in honor of Father’s Day, and literally saw (in my minds eye) myself on stage.
His favorite holiday is the Fourth of July, so I said yes.
THAT was indeed, a MIRACLE!!!

July 2011
WOA, how did I get here? From the audience, it looks totally dark. I did not think I would see anyone from the stage. I was wrong. You could see quite a bit from the wings/stage! Then, there was the camera live streaming the service around the world. Oh my…
After leaving the stage, I broke down in tears as soon as I reached the wings. When asked, “honey, what’s wrong?” From the comfort of loving arms I replied, “I found my voice!”
I have NO IDEA where that came from…I wasn’t looking for a voice.
Another Godwink!!!
2011
I was asked to join the SMCC OK Corral.
The Miracle Theater became the Smoky Mountain Opry. I remained with the group for two years.
2014-2021
No longer singing or playing the guitar. I was traveling, then planning and preparing to move to Germany.
December 2021
Life Interrupted!!!
I received an email that caught my attention. The title gripped me…and never let go! “Awaken & Celebrate Your Sacred Voice to Come Home to Your Authentic Self“. I’ve never been the same since.
March 2022
Joined the Brothers Koren, “The Playground“. It’s now called “The Embodied Voice Playground“, and is housed within the Embodied Voice Portal.
