Are you singing from enjoyment or technique?
A singer gets so caught up in trying to do perfect singing technique that it sucks out all the joy. Everything bows down to ‘getting it right’.
My word for 2024
Even though I’m big on goal setting & planning, it’s more about WHO I’m becoming in the every day than WHAT I’m achieving.

Grace for the Windy Days
Some days you’ll encounter difficulty and resistance, like you’re leaning into the wind.

100 days of Grace- My 100 day project
I decided to start the #100dayproject! I’m calling mine #100daysofgrace2021 for a few reasons.
Texture is part of the story
When I tried to sand the texture away, it just would’t go. It refused to budge.
Knowledge & Wisdom
As I marry knowledge and wisdom together, I’m giving permission for whatever is in me to flow, however imperfect and raw it might be.
The Messy Middle
If you are in the messy middle- rest assured that it is the middle, it’s not the end.
