I think it goes without expounding upon, but I'll state the fact: 2020 was a bust. It's meant pain, financial hardship, loss, isolation for a lot of people. I haven't been exempt from it all. I come to you today with a message of silver linings. Things are looking up. I'm closing out the year …
Fall Has Come
It is here. My soul is revived. It is revived by connecting to my new church home through a small group (virtually). It is revived through the release of my original music, which has been quite a long time coming. It is revived through a new morning routine, which involves waking up at 5:30am and …
The EP is coming!
It is August now. It just so happens to be my least favorite month of the year, but this is 2020 and as we have learned...anything goes. It could be great. It has been a busy last few weeks, but in the best way. My experience serving and directing with the church I mentioned in …
Are we still in 2020?
I ask this question because good things are actually happening. Here's whats up: We are now one week away from recording my EP. All the musicians I asked to be a part of it said yes. Double win. One of my musician friends/previous volunteers I met on Craigslist really wants to start gigging with me. …
I’m a working woman again.
As I mentioned in my previous post.... After waiting through quarantine and Virginia's stay-at-home order, I finally got hired for a job I interviewed for in early March. I am a patient rep at an optometry office and let me tell you, it has been quite the learning curve. Being fluent in the language of …
A New Beginning
Friends, life is changing. I have accepted a job offer. This job is one that I interviewed for right before quarantine began. I will be working as a patient representative at a local eye care practice. I am immensely grateful to get a new job, especially during a pandemic, while people are losing jobs right …
15 Albums That Have Changed My Life
I have 15 phenomenal albums to share with you today. These fifteen albums are the albums that I have enjoyed as albums, not just a few songs here and there. These are the albums that I appreciate start to finish. They've inspired me as a vocalist, as a songwriter, and just someone who likes to …
Ditching My Brown Thumb + Gardening Projects
It's been on my to-do list for a while now to become a decent gardener. However, I've never longed for time spent with my hands in the dirt or sweat dripping down my neck, so I've ultimately always chosen comfort over...well, work. This year, obviously, life looks a little different. Not only am I married and …

My Kitchen Must-Haves
It's no secret that I am a frequent occupant of the kitchen. It is my playground. One of the most magical experiences was creating a wedding registry for my husband and I and getting to request a ton of kitchen gadgets that I had always dreamt of. Cooking is a skill that I spent a …
Contentment While Quarantined
I'll preface everything I say with this, I am still very much in my grieving process due to resigning from my job at the beginning of March. My life is not a picnic and I am not immune to struggles. But I am capable of making the choice in every moment to choose to focus …
