LeAnn Rimes talks about "What I Cannot Change"


Once in a while a song comes along that captures our imagination and inspires people to connect in new ways. LeAnn Rimes’ latest single “What I Cannot Change” is by far one of the best critically reviewed singles of her career. The simple message of peace and acceptance of the song she wrote speaks to people from all walks of life:

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Ms. Rimes created a website, www.whaticannotchange.com, encouraging people to share their story and get it off their chest. The site has become a bit of a phenomenon garnering hundreds of anonymous entries and inspiring her to create a book around the stories. The book What I Cannot Change is an elegant counterpart to the song that includes an introduction by Rimes, lyrics, interior photographs, stories from people who have experienced their own journeys of change, and an accompanying CD.

Here’s what Ms. Rimes had to say about her experience with “What I Cannot Change,” the book, the website and the song:
