How you talk to yourself matters. The words you use matter. The other day we were at a drive through coffee shop and we ordered, “Could I have a tea with honey, no milk”, and the woman working there said, “Got it! But for future reference, if you don’t want milk don’t say milk at all, because all we here is “milk” and you’ll end up with milk in your…
Time To Empower
There’s something I’ve been contemplating for the last few months. Empower. What does being EMPOWERED look like? What does it mean? Last week we all heard the news that Kate Spade took her own life.

Oak Alley Plantation

Tell me if this song speaks to…
Ailsa Craig, where in the world?!
We drove past farms and through a community called, “Punkey Doodles Corner” and made our way to Ailsa Craig. We pulled into the cutest little town and stopped at the Crown and Turtle for a preshow bite to eat. Then we went over to the venue and did a sound check and met Cameron Arts, the opening act. The theatre was an original theatre with INCREDIBLE acoustics in their town…
