I’ve always loved music—how it can energize us, reflect passion, bring joy, comfort us in sadness, and become a form of worship to our Creator God.
When I was ten, my mom signed me up for guitar lessons. Unfortunately, I rebelled after just two sessions because I wanted to be outside playing baseball instead. I loved baseball, but now I often wish I’d stuck with those lessons. Over the years, I’ve dabbled in learning the guitar and the ukulele, but haven't made great strides. Sadly, I never quite learned to read music, either.
What I can do, though, is write. About ten years ago, what began as a simple poem evolved into a song called “The Good Days.” I even added a harmony and sang it a few times, though I never did much with it. Later came “Jeepin’,” inspired by my love for going topless in the Jeep with the wind in my hair. I also helped a friend with lyrics for her worship song, His Side.
​
Then, in August 2025, something special happened. Inspired by my love of horses, my volunteer work at a local horse rescue, and the dream of bringing horses to Beloved Roots Ranch, I sat down and wrote “The Heart of a Horse.” The lyrics poured out in under an hour, melody and all. It captured the beauty, strength, and healing spirit of these incredible animals. When I finished, I leaned back and thought, “What now?”
​
At the encouragement of a friend, I copyrighted the lyrics and melody, and began the journey to officially release the song. My hope is to share it with the world and use any proceeds to support the mission of Beloved Roots Ranch, our horses and the veterans that will visit.
​
This page serves as a growing collection of my songs and lyrics, a glimpse into my creative journey. I look forward to what’s ahead, and I hope you’ll join me for the music still to come.

This is a demo of the song, me singing acapella in my living room. Listen at your own risk! :D
