That’s Not Something You Wear Every Day #1

August 9, 2024

This shows up in my Facebook memories every year (for the past five years): “That moment when you are supposed to be packing up the travel trailer for your camping trip, but you go to Value Village instead and end up with a onesie.”

This memory is even more special because my mom found that onesie for me on one of our rare shopping trips together. ♥️

Now, it’s been almost two years since she’s been gone. ☹️

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.
