Be honest, Be real, Be you... I say this and have been using it in my music and writing for years. But stripping down to that level of honesty is a challenge in the real world. It requires being willing to put your entire heart out for the world to break and break again. For everyone to see you for all you are, faults, fears, weakness, illness, and mistakes and to let them watch you fall and get back up for the thousandth time. It takes you out of the safe world behind your computer keyboard or phone screen and instead transports you directly into the world of people. Real life, real hurt, real crazy, messy people. That is why as someone who has struggled for years with chronic illness I feel my purpose is to spread as much kindness, love, and joy as possible. To remind everyone they matter, that they are seen, and that each person has a gift only they can bring to the world. I hope to use my struggles and where I have overcome them, the lessons I've learned, to help people in the dark places where illness and trauma can take you, to climb up and choose to live and fight and help bring change.

 

​I am an Author, Singer-Songwriter, Speaker, Photographer and chronic illness warrior from Oklahoma. ​To everyone who reads, listens to or pays attention to anything I write or do thank you so very much! I hope in some way it will help you navigate from the darker places back to the light. ​
