what i’m thinking
Sharing My Music For The First Time
Once I decided I wanted to pursue music, I was playing my guitar and singing at home ALL THE TIME. I figured I should put myself out there and see if any local places would book me for a gig. My niece Amara*hyperlink to her music* had been playing at...
My Songwriting Journey
It has been a dream of mine ever since I realized I had half a decent singing voice, to be a musician. To make that my purpose, my career, my life. It really is so exciting especially as a little kid to find something that you’re good at. Teenage years rolled...
Our Way
This one was a husband appreciation song. It’s just about our lives and the simple things we love doing together. A lot of the choices we’ve made as a couple and as parents are different than the norm, like unschooling our kids, or refusing to punish and...

Fifteen Now
This song is about a really bad relationship. It was mentally, emotionally, and physically abusive, drugs involved, and it really changed who I was for the worse, for a long time. I became codependent and accepted and craved really really intense drama and...
Feel Something
I talk about the fragility of life in this one. Things just slip away when it’s their time to go. And it feels so abrupt, and we might not be ready for it because we’ve just been waiting our whole lives for the perfect circumstances to magically fall into...
Yes You Should
This song is about running from myself. I have always wanted to pursue music but never felt good enough to try. Putting myself out there was always way too scary. Even now when I’m starting to do it, I still crave that constant reassurance that I’m...
