The jingling of board game pieces floats in and out of ear shot. My niece and nephews are crowded under a blanket, watching Youtube. My brother-in-law pushing away a toy stroller. My sister has the word “hope” spelled out on a dining hutch. It stares at me. Four white, block letters stand at attention. My…

“When You Say Nothing At All”
I have to be up in a few hours. It’s more than likely the reason I can’t sleep. I thought at first it was because I’ve had a gnarly head cold the past couple of days. Or it’s because tomorrow I snuggle my babies off before school. But the truth is, I simply have too…
Day 1 – You Are Not For Everyone
Thought I’d lead off 2018 with an optimistic headline. You are not for everyone. Sounds negative, but reality sometimes feels like that. When I first got into my career, I never really gave the opinions of others much thought. Not to say I didn’t care. The opposite, in fact. I cared a lot. But I hadn’t…
So It Wasn’t The Year You Were Expecting
The year held various victories for me. For each misstep, a lesson learned. For every point-your-finger-and-ask-why, a chance to do it better next time.

So This Was 2016
I can’t sleep. I think I went to bed some time around 2. I’m up around 6am. You can say it was because I napped far too long yesterday, but it’s really all part of a bigger picture. The majority of 2016 has been swept away in sleepless nights. I also listen to enough John…
Join Us For STRUMMERFEAST!
A number of years ago, Michael Clifton approached me and asked, “Do you remember Joe Strummer?” That conversation – over a delicious meal at Queen Street Commons – became the start of an institution called “Strummerfest“; an annual gathering of musicians remembering Joe Strummer and giving back to charity during the holiday season. How many…
