Okay, here’s the deal y’all. I’m in the middle of a couple of different things. On top of all of that, I’m currently waiting (rather impatiently) for a formal ADHD diagnosis (expected June 11) and it has been suggested that I stop using my coping mechanisms to just do all the things and to let…

Most days I don’t complain about my ability to hear the different pieces of a song. Most days I’m just thankful to have something that I connect so deeply to. This Memorial Day weekend I spent locked up in my house. I spent the weekend writing and editing pieces of “What Surrendered.” I’m starting to…

My “Mama” Reba dropped an EP tonight. I stayed up late to listen. The new song of them? “One Night In Tulsa” I won’t lie, I cried the first 10 listens to it. I just cried. The first time listening, I just heard the melody. I didn’t even hear the words. I cried for that…

I told myself I would never lie to you (other than about my name). So I’m not going to start now. I drove to Nashville on 5/28 in anticipation of going to see Reba play after the Music City Rodeo. Y’all know how much she means to me. I was desperately trying to chase after…

It is finally summer. I love it because I can be outside and I can just take in nature. This year, I finally have a hammock I can use! I’m so excited for that. But it means nights out on my deck with a good book, morning coffee out on the deck. It means open…

I’m watching women in every industry break glass ceilings. As a country music fan (90s country or die, unless it’s Reba then it’s timeless and perfect) I grew up LOVING the women in the industry. Loretta, Patsy, Tammy, Dolly, Reba, Martina, Trisha, Terri, Lee Ann, Faith, Jo Dee, LeAnn…..I could go on and on. Watching…
