May Skip the Festivities
I saw a very close relative in the store the other day. I haven’t been able to see them in about 3 months. When I’m available I would text and they would always have something else they were doi...
I knew better
I have a cousin that is getting married soon. They hit me up to handle some of their music. I wanted to help out so I agreed. Then, they wanted to sing a song to their husband and asked if I cou...
Awkward moment turned to blessing
One of the booking managers I use booked me at a church last Sunday morning. I show up and another artist was there setting up their gear. Turns out, my booking manager didn’t confirm the date a...
Well, I didn't win but ..
I got to meet a bunch of fellow independent artists. Some really interesting and super talented people out here making music because they love music. I have been so blessed to be what I do and...

I’m sitting here at the hotel watering hole. I may have indulged in one too many… Oops
This close
I’m so close to firing an assistant. They won’t listen. Then when I try to explain they make excuses. They twist what I say and make me sound like I’m being mean to them when all I want is for t...
Torn
I volunteer my time as an assistant coach for a high school basketball team. This weekend we have some games on Saturday but I have to be at an awards pre show Sat and the award’s show on Sunday...
My feelings were hurt
I had dinner at a Mexican restaurant tonight with someone and I was telling our server, who was from Guatemala, about eating tacos when I was 13 years old. I was part of a band …the youngest…a...
Starving!!!
I have some important things in a few weeks and my nutritionist let me know I have to drop more weight. That stressed me out and I fell off the wagon and gained about 6 pounds. She mentioned som...
What's the secret?
It’s amazing to me that we are this far into time and we’ve still not figured out other humans. Why do people go out of their way to be mean? Why is bitterness so rampant everywhere? I’m convinc...
What if
What if I could move thru time! I would travel as far back as I could just to look around. I don’t think I would want to visit the future. It feels like the longer we move in that direction the ...

Ask me anything
Sometimes....
Sometimes those seemingly in your corner never got out of theirs… Sometimes a good deal is only for the window ads Sometimes your hard work isn’t recognized until it makes the person who hir...
Reminder to me:
You’ve reached a point of self awareness that can be both helpful and depressing. You may never reach your dreams. On the outside - it’s okay. On the inside where frustration can’t hide - it hur...
Why I don't say it out loud
Why have I always done it your way? Why does what I want or need come second to yours? Why are we always satisfying you and not concerned at all about mine? Just the mere complaint makes m...
The City in a City
I have been in Minneapolis the last few days. Today I was able to wonder around the Skyway maze. I absolutely love that about Minneapolis. I think more cities would benefit from a skyway maze. ...
I want to make the world forget
I write music to help me forget the pain of my past. I write it and perform it hoping that whoever hears it will forget theirs. I study comedy and timing to help me deliver in a way that draws...
Nothing worse than an awkward dentist appointment
I had my 6-month dental cleaning today. I particularly don’t care for this dentist office, but it’s the only one my insurance will cover. I always get the weirdest feeling when I go for my check...
Happy late Labor Day
Did anyone labor today? I went to Sam’s wholesale and regretted it the moment I sat in the parking lot waiting on this guy to decide if he wanted to walk in the crosswalk or talk on his phone…...
Yuck
I’m working on Saturday in a friend’s studio to lay some vocal tracks for some folks he’s cutting. The band put me up in a hotel…or motel - feels like there should be a neon sign out front that ...
You... absolutely...matter
Lately, I just keep wanting to remind everyone around me - you matter. I met a person who’s husband was involved in a hit and run. I’m trying to help the family secure finances to care for him. ...
She was right!
My nutritionist tells me repeatedly in our weekly meetings - when you reset your body to homeostasis it will tell you when you alter it. She is right! Today, I did some musical events close ...
Work and Play
This week I had a meeting out of town in an area I’m familiar with but don’t go to much. The meeting was met with a lot of technical setbacks but everyone sort of took it in stride and made the ...
I feel myself changing
I was shopping the other day for groceries. Out of nowhere a guy walks up and calls me by name. I said - you got to help me out and tell me who you are. He told me and I still didn’t know, but t...
I didn't realize it much
I sincerely miss everyone that used to message me. I miss reading your entries… I’ll do better. I’ve been extremely busy lately. I’ve been frustrated. I’ve been - lonely. I certainly appre...
Book Description
The path my life has taken has left me with more questions than answers. I always believed that whatever you dreamed and worked hard for it would happen. At some point I woke up and the 9 year old little boy who dreamed of selling out stadiums and playing music apparently, was never born.
