This is me last night, wandering around the mall with Ken (as we waited for our table), oblivious to the pain about to come.
I still don’t know what that was about; last time I had that kind of pain four years ago, the ER doctor suspected a kidney stone.
Maybe my “episode” was caused by the stress of this conversation in the recording studio two days ago:
Producer: “Okay, I think we’ll have you sing backup vocals to the song we’re recording later in the week.”
Me: “Gulp.”
Producer: “You can do it.”
Ken: “You have a great voice. I tell you that all the time.”
Me: “Hyperventilate.”
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
