There is POWER in SPEAKING UP. 🙌🏼 Last week, my youngest daughter & I, unfortunately, were witness to a terrible situation between a family just a few feet away from us… as the fight became more volatile, physical and was escalating, my gut and former experience told me what I needed to do. I got up quietly in the cover of the night, walked inside and called the police, just to ask for a little drive by to check on the situation. Longish story short, the police arrived just in time. Two women and two babies were potentially saved from what was most likely to have been a terrible “ending.”  That night as I kissed my daughter goodnight, she said “well, I guess we saved 4 people, but ruined 1 person’s life…” I smiled at her sweet face & said, “No, lovey, hopefully everyone will get the help they need now. We were quiet little heroes.”  Sometimes that is all you need to be. A QUIET LITTLE HERO. If you do not have the strength or do not want to get involved, or SHOULD NOT get involved, then quietly ask someone who needs to or can. If you have never experienced domestic violence or any form of abuse, or known someone that has, you have no idea how INVALUABLE this seemingly small act of bravery can do to change lives. Save lives. Check the link in my bio for really great information… if you see the signs in someone’s life, don’t wait for them to ask you for help, learn how to ask them, help them.

As we start the 2nd half of 2021, today seems as good a day as any to let go of anyone or anything in life that no longer serves us… purpose, joy, love. If we aren’t moving “forward in growth, we are stepping back.” (Maslow) I want to be surrounded by authentic people who love me, where both actions and words align. I want to make space for what is good, honest and real in my life… & I am choosing today to lovingly let go of all that isn’t… 🤍  . #actionsspeaklouderthanwords #lettinggo #shesingslove #ralphwaldoemerson #authentic #real #love #kindness

“you have two options… step forward into growth, or step backward into safety.” - Maslow 🌱

i read this yesterday, & the words resonated so fiercely with me, i am making it my own 🖤 i encourage you to do the same in all of life & types of relationships. 🤍

I think I have officially peaked as “cool mom” ... Never mind that time we played the same stage as The Beatles. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks @lanadelrey & @gruenehall for making this day possible ;-) *curtsies & happily exits stage left* #luckylittlemama #singersongwriter #gruenehall #lanadelrey #tourlife #musician #mama

i ran up to DFW yesterday & had the honor of accepting the “Recording Studio of the Year” award on behalf of @yellowdogstudios at the TRR Music Awards last night! it was really, really special to represent a place I love so much and call home. ♡ Thank you everyone who voted :-)
