Yesterday, I went in for a haircut.  No big deal, just a trim.  But something came over me while I was sitting in the chair.  I got antsy, indecisive.  And before I knew what I was saying, I was asking her to just shave it all off.  I give you exhibit A.   Can you [...]

Well, I guess its back to business as usual… but not quite.  Still basking in the glow of the arrival of Delaney, our little girl.  Unfortunately, life doesn't stop happening, and the baby came a few weeks earlier than expected.  I was sure I'd be done with this spring tour long before our baby girl [...]

At first, it takes forever.  Nine long months are stretched out before you, but it may as well be nine years. The doctor confirms your suspicions that a baby is on the way, declares a due date, and the waiting begins. You count the days.  You paint the room.  You buy the crib.  But mostly, [...]

I'm in the back of the bus tonight, preparing for the show, like I prepare every night before the show.  First, I spend 2 hours on hair.  Just kidding.  Sometimes I finish in and hour and 1/2… Just kidding.  No, I'm in the back of the bus doing my vocal warm ups.  Ever since the [...]

Every morning, I go to "The Motions" community on my website, and read the new resolutions that people have made.  I have to be honest, I am so inspired by the commitments that people are making there.  I appreciate everyone's honesty, and desire for change in their lives.  It inspires me to do the same!
