Gail Hamilton is a highly acclaimed professional speaker, singer, musician, and author. She shares her message of bravery, empowerment, gratitude, and positivity to audiences nationwide. Born ten weeks premature and weighing a mere 2.5 pounds, Gail Hamilton and her twin brother lived in separate incubators for six weeks with continual 100% pure oxygen. Though her twin was not affected, this high oxygen level damaged Gail’s eyes and left her with partial vision. It was during elementary school that her eyes developed cataracts; decreasing sight to total blindness. Becoming totally blind is when Gail’s imagination and inner vision took flight. During this time of transformation, classical music became the center of her world.
Despite personal challenges in her life, in high school, Gail discovered her passion for singing and continued her mastery of the piano. Gail has taught piano lessons for nearly 40 years! She graduated college with a degree in Voice and then obtained her Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance and Master of Arts degree in Transpersonal Psychology. Gail credits her voice teacher, Margaret Thuenemann, as being the first person, she met who viewed her as a singer who happened to be blind, and not as a blind
singer. This new perspective intensified her longing to spread her wings.
After college Gail moved to Colorado. While the next 25 years would prove to be challenging, through the help of others she began her most meaningful life transformation, “… believing that my desire to fly must be bigger than my fear of falling,” she says. Gail changed from being a victim of her own circumstances to becoming the creator of her destiny. She stopped blaming and started taking responsibility, and aligned totally with faith, attitude, and action.
