Big News to Share!


Hi friends💜,

I am deeply thankful for your support in this world of unrest and division. Today I wanted to make sure you are the first to see my album cover and invite you to my album release concert!

I am so excited (and slightly terrified) to release my debut album and its powerful message of self-worth. To truly claim our worthiness and power we must go deep inside where it is dark to find our inner light. When it seemed like literally everything around me was crumbling, this was all I could do.

And so, this image appeared to me last fall when I was meditating in the middle of a sleepless night. I am deeply grateful to Torey Rohde who came over and brought it to fruition.

Through my membership in the WIM organization, I reached out to a publicist in LA who has worked in the music industry for 17 years and shared my music video. She loved my voice and the video and is very excited to work with me to help me launch my music to a broader audience!

And so, if you are able, I would be honored for you to be a part of a once in a lifetime event where I perform live for the first time all of the original songs on the album on March 23rd at 2pm @ Riverside Theatre in Iowa City. I will share stories behind the songs and the healing journey I undertook to bring this album to fruition.

And if you are not local, I will be releasing my album on streaming the same day so we can all celebrate together💜.

Did you know that artists get .003¢ per stream? New technology has made it possible to self-produce which I am very grateful for, but it takes a village to make it happen! If you are financially able to support this labor of love, I would be so grateful.

Other very important ways to support the project are to connect with me on social media, YouTube and look for my March 1st newsletter where I will share my full official music video and link to pre-save my release on your streaming platform and spread the word.

Again, I cannot say how grateful I am to you and I am sending you love and light in this broken, beloved world💜.


PS. If you are local, I would be deeply honored to spend time with you in these local events coming up.

Dear friend 💜, How are you doing? The energy at the end of this August has been really intense for me. Maybe you've felt exhausted or overwhelmed, or energized. Maybe things have fallen away that no longer serve you, or something old that you love has entered back into your life. Maybe something new has begun and the old way of doing things has just crumbled. Or maybe you're simply feeling the busy-ness of this season of new school years and new endeavors, digging into the hard work of fall...

Dear friend 💜, Do you ever get that restless feeling — the one where you dream of packing up everything and just seeing where the road leads? Maybe you’ve done some traveling this summer. A family vacation, visiting relatives, the beach, the mountains. My family has a bit of wanderlust deep in our bones. After starting seminary and feeling unsure of his calling, my dad once set off to travel the world for six months with little more than the clothes on his back — worrying his mother half to...

Dear friend 💜, I hope that this letter meets you wherever you are and know that I am sending love to you even if we have never met. The brightest light of the year in the northern hemisphere is already beginning to recede, even as the reverberations of that light continue to bring intense heat to the Midwest. Isn't it interesting that the heat never peaks right when the days are longest? It always lags behind. The sun's effects take time to fully arrive. It seems much like my own dream and...
