Had a blast teaching my new song to this cutie-patootie. This is the song that I finished in one week (after a long hiatus). We cut the demo in one take. Not only is Megan a great singer, she is a great friend.

Well, this may be anticlimactic, but here’s my hair after today’s much-anticipated appointment. I walked in and announced, “Hey, Kim, I’d like to get rid of the blonde and have you dye my hair grey.” Apparently, that’s not how it works. (What do I know? I write music and books.) She said I needed to […]

Today may be my last day as a blonde. I don’t know how I feel about that. I’ve had red hair, blonde hair, grey hair, and no hair. I’ve had bowl cuts, perms, straight hair, long hair, short hair, and everything in between. After cancer, my hair grew in curly-as-all-get-out, was four shades of grey, […]

Today, I had to run to town. I reached into the console and my EP was sitting next to this CD…the CD, incidentally, that I bought in Nashville when I recorded that first song and this whole business started back on September 21, 2020. When I unwrapped that EP, I laughed to myself that it […]

It’s almost 3 o’clock in the morning and I’m considering doing a happy dance around the living room because I just finished the song I started last week. Actually, I finished it at 2:20 a.m., but it took me forever to take a selfie. It was hard to hold that heavy clock and my phone […]

I’m not gonna lie. I haven’t written a single note or lyric since February (except for a co-write in May) and I’ve been a bit down since the concert back on September 10. Then, I had a great meeting today with my friend, Elijah, and that’s all it took. Of course, it would have been […]

Well, this concert that I’ve talked about so much finally happened last night. I had so much fun—I wasn’t nervous at all—that I didn’t take a picture. Not one. That’s not like me at all. Besides, I was a little busy playing piano: song after song. This cute little guy used to be my piano […]

That moment when you and one of your bandmates try on T-shirts in the corner of the church behind a curtain, laughing your heads off because you’re both just having a great day, and you realize hours later that there are probably security cameras there.

  I am so lucky to hang out with this great group; we’re just a bunch of regular people—practicing tonight for the concert coming up on September 10—who a) love music, and b) love Jesus. I even sang backup (into a mic) on purpose. What’s happening to me?!

I finally did it: I got over my fear of digital pianos and bought one. Ken says this means we don’t have to go to Nashville anymore…we’ll see about that.
