Nothing like trying to sing at the top of your lungs in the car on the way home from the dentist when half your face is numb and you can’t feel your tongue. Lots of lisping going on: “You’ve thattered my thpirit….I’m gonna live my life, you’ll theeeeee.”

The official lyric video for one of my songs just went live. I wrote this song in 2006—13 pages of handwritten notes on manuscript paper (because I hadn’t bought my expensive Finale software yet)—and recorded it back in May. I had so much fun picking out some of the footage; thanks to Pheasant Productions for […]

I am thankful today that I am perfectly content to stay up late—watching BBC television with Ken while drinking Earl Grey tea—and don’t feel this need to go out shopping at two in the morning (risking possible death) to buy some useless crap, because I already have everything I need. Happy Thanksgiving, y’all.

My new EP “A Story of Reclamation” is now available through iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and a whole bunch of other platforms I’ve never heard of. Ken and I celebrated this accomplishment by a big trip into town. We listened to the song “I Am Broken” that started it all. Yes, yes, we sang along at […]

There’s my man, guarding the homestead in proper flood attire. Because everyone knows you should fight the onslaught of neverending water with shorts and rubber boots.

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 […]
