Music saved my soul.
Through good times and bad, music has always been there for me.
So many good memories of popping on a Beatles record, and dancing in the living room with my birth mom.
Went through foster care, and was adopted at age 11.
I was drawn to the piano...learning to play by ear and chords by age 15.
Singing and songwriting became life long pursuits.
I married the man of my dreams, Eric Wilson, on June 16, 1990.
We were 19 and 23:)
Eric wanted to write novels, and I wanted to write songs, sing, and perform.
We encouraged each other to pursue our dreams...so important.
My first album was released in 1998...
all original material.
Two daughters came along in the 90's.
Our family moved from Oregon to Nashville, TN in Aug. 2001.
We will celebrate 25 years in Music City, in August, 2026.
Best move we've ever made!
Eric has a bunch of books out there, and is a New York Times Bestselling author...so grateful!
It's been a wonderful adventure so far.
So many great opportunities to be involved with music.
From playing on the Bluebird Cafe stage to appearing as an extra on the television show Nashville.
I have been a volunteer with Alive Hospice since 2008...singing at bedsides.
Landed my first speaking role in a grass roots movie called Still Got Joy.
Based on a true story.
I have an original song on the Still Got Joy soundtrack as well... Heavenly Father.
Life is full of ups and downs, but I am so grateful for the many blessings in my life.
We have two amazing grandchildren...I've written special songs for them.
So very grateful for the gift of music...it's the universal language.
I am most certainly enjoying my journey!
