What I wouldn’t give to be back behind a mic, performing with some of my favorite people right now 🩷

There's so much in this rabbit hole... This has been on my mind since reading the origin of where the phrase came from (a very fun rabbit hole) and I started to wonder why we typically go to the negative and take seeing someone's true colors as a bad thing. Even when it is something that causes hurt, isn't it also a gift, painful as it may be, to see someone's true colors and know that your colors don't compliment one another? To be able to set boundaries, walk away, or do what you have to do to escape colors that don't suit you? Please know, I'm not talking anything DV or abuse here. That's beyond colors. Just normal social friendships, relationships that don't work out, coworkers you've tried too hard to betriend, etc. Sometimes colors clash, sometimes they complement each other. I know I'm grateful for every instance where I've gotten to see or show true colors and the friendships that have deepened because of it.

Second Wind, my long distance relationship band, has officially released our debut single that we recorded just before I left Tennessee for Missouri. I miss getting to perform with the whole crew so very much and hope to get back to it sooner than later but, until then, I can hold tight onto the memories of making this song! The band continues to create spectacular music in Knoxville and I'm honored that they've let me stay in the fold, will continue to be part of original music we create, and am welcome back to perform anytime I can be there (come on healthcare, let's get this healing thing moving). I wish I could teleport! So give it a listen—a whole lotta love was put into this incredible song!

Debuting our first original song, Remember When, written and recorded by Second Wind. Find it on all streaming platforms and radio stations near you!

After a lot of talk about success, I started to think about this phrase we hear a lot: “Comparison is the thief of joy” — but I think it hits our community (and other minorities) in different ways. There are so many levels to it. What do you think? And as a reminder to my healthy, able bodied friends, you are always one second away from joining the disabled and chronically ill community. It’s the one minority you will, most likely, inevitably end up in due to an accident or old age or who knows what.

Mega ramble but I would love to have more conversations about what people personally perceive success to be in their life (and in other people's). I know it's different for everyone-that's how I ended up trying to meet other people's standards for success while mine fell by the wayside.

When your friends are getting married and want Norah Jones because it was the first vinyl record she got him as a gift, but have also thrown in a request for some specific musical theatre songs, you make it a mash-up. Don't worry, music lovers, I know that Nearness of You is not originally by Norah, but this is her version as recorded on the Come Away with Me record. What an honor to sing at this beautiful reception, video of my second set major mash-up coming soon!

Thank you to Hot-Dog Rob (he'll never have a new name) for the beautiful accompaniment.
