“I’m just a girl discovering my place in this world.” — My Name is Divine (jina langu ni Divine)I’m one day away from wrapping up an 11 year journey. Writing a song about Divine’s life story was one of my highlights. Her song was my first commissioned songwriting project to write a song for/about someone […]
I had the pleasure of being LIVE on Guitar Girl Magazine’s Facebook page today for their Musician Marathon in support of MusicCares COVID-19 relief fund. I shared a few songs and some background about my journey, which naturally was infused with some tidbits that might be helpful for your journey. It was my first time […]
This was me exactly a year ago hiking in Sedona in Boyton Canyon on my way to Kachina Woman. You can see her rock formation above my head — like a cluster of women standing together. The feminine power of this specific place always draws me in. She calls to me. Sedona is my place. […]
Guitar Girl Magazine Spring 2020 Issue Page 78 — When I started my career 21 years ago, I worked for a corporate recruiting firm with a 100% compensation plan. The risk/reward factor was high.

I just sent over the last of 11 songs for my next Kathryn the Grape album. Pressing send on “I Feel Good About Myself” felt good. It’s the title track lyrical story that glues everything together and reveals how deliberate my creative journey has been for the past decade, piece by piece to complete the […]
Today, I was exceptionally brave. While I exist in vulnerability and risk, today was a level up day. Trusting. Flowing. Knowing. A shiny penny at my car door upon completion = a Divine sign of confirmation. I drove in silence with “wow, I did that” streaming through me. I felt giddy and I even cried […]
While I do enjoy wearing makeup, especially on those fun occasions when I get extra glammed up for photo shoots and stage shows, I tend to dress super casual in my daily life — black tank tops and jeans mostly — and I wear little to no makeup. I’m enjoying natural me more and more. […]
It’s been a few years since I hiked up the Cowles Mountain fire road as I did yesterday. I loved spending time with my friend Leslie, catching up about life. The summit view didn’t disappoint as it was clear in all directions, unblocked by clouds or smog. I enjoy the fire road’s less crowded path […]
