When Wilmer Died...

When Wilmer Died...

I know our society says we're not supposed to talk about death directly, so we use euphemisms - passed away, lost, put down. I'm not supposed to say "when Wilmer died," but it feels important to do so, because he did die and I am forever changed. Strong words are helpful.

Birthday Showcase Debrief

One year ago when I rented a room for karaoke for my birthday, I did not even have a goal to have my a solo concert sharing my songwriting creations! And a year later I found myself risking hundreds of dollars and my pride. So much can change in a year!
