Story of My Life: Letting the Song Come Out
I’ve been spending a bit of time on my guitar this week, developing calluses and working on songwriting. At times it seems that the song inside is just aching to come out!! Music can be such a good way to process since it is so emotional by nature. I love being able to express myself [...]
Story of My Life: Guitars & Coffee
This morning I had an in house tea date (kinda like a stay-cation…we met at my house) with Nadia, a friend of mine who recently returned from Iris Ministries Harvest School of Missions, a ministry school based in Mozambique, Africa. Several of my friends have gone through Harvest school and I’m sure that more will [...]
Story of My Life – Making Music
One of my very dear friends lost her Dad this past summer, her name is Sara. I have a surprising number of dear friends named Sarah, I’ve decided that if someone’s name is Sarah we’re probably destined to be great friends. I am especially fond of Sara and it has been hard to walk through [...]
Music Fave – “You Never Leave Me Alone”
A while back, in February I believe, this lovely girl popped into our house for a few days to attend the “Winter Ball” at MorningStar. One of the nights that she was here she sat at our kitchen table and played this song for us and we were captivated listening to her lovely, folksy, pure, [...]
Queen City Update [1]
Hello there! One thing that I love about traveling is getting to meet new people, and from the time I left my mom at the airport in Denver yesterday morning meeting new people is pretty much all I’ve done. From the sweet methodist couple in the airport who were in transit from one daughter’s house [...]
Singing Songs for Africa
My good friend Laura Reed is going to Africa this summer and through a variety of ways I’ve been helping her raise support however I can. That has included doing a photoshoot for her to use for her support letters, designing her support letter, making tie-dye, wearing tie-dye, and now doing a benefit concert. That’s [...]
DIVE – The Last Supper ;)
After song presentation was over and we cleaned up the room we went back to our rooms for a bit and then headed over to Rita’s for our final dinner, or the “Last Supper” as I called it here haha. During the break my sweet English friend Charlotte and I ran over to the mall [...]
DIVE – Day 6
Song Presentation Day… We spent a whole day, morning and afternoon, presenting songs. We had been given the assignment earlier in the week to have an original work ready to present on this day. I had the privilege of playing guitar for Molly’s rockin’ song and doing my own. It was so fun to hear [...]
DIVE – Day 5 (yes that rhymes!)
Day 5 was all about technical instruction. We did a keyboard/theory class with Paulette in the morning which was great!! She gave us tons of information and resources and chord charts and basic theory. Later we got into some more advanced theory and chord progressions, minor 7ths and all that jazz. I have lots [...]
DIVE – Day 4
Ok so I know I officially fell off the blogging band wagon…sorry! The last few days of DIVE were so intense that I would get back to my room and think about blogging and simply not know where to begin. Hopefully being a few days out will help… I haven’t really caught my breath since [...]
