Pure Gold: A Song of Faith and Resilience

When I am going through a trial, like today, I try to write about it. It helps me get the feelings out. I seem to have so much more freedom when I just let the words flow out of my heart to the page. I guess that's why I blog. It helps me to deal with real life stuff. And I get to meet people just like you, who have been through similar things.

Songs for Recovery: Lyrics from Experience

I have recently started writing songs for the recovery community. I have spent over 20 years in 12 step programs. I started in Al-Anon (family/friend of alcoholic), then ACoA (adult child of alcoholic), AA (Alcoholics) and N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous). So yes, I have history. And besides, real life stories are such rich song lyrics! I have a few on SoundCloud if you’d like to listen.

The Power of Testimony: Anthony McCord’s Life-Changing Experience

Sometimes God has people in your path that He has destined you to meet. Such is the case with me and Anthony McCord. I joined a FaceBook One Song Challenge put on by Nashville Christian Songwriters. Long story short, each of us was trained and challenged to write a new song in a week. This is the platform where I first heard Anthony McCords song, "The Moment I Fell to My Knees."
