Active children who like to explore find that their Artemis mothers make enthusiastic companions.” — Goddess in Everywoman ✨✨💜❤️✨✨ #onward

I'm preparing to submit an article that's due toda

I'm preparing to submit an article that's due today. I've been going back and forth within myself about whether to edit out a few things I shared. Then, this photo and caption popped up as a FB memory from two years. (Scroll) Okay, message received. The thing about relatable vulnerability is that it can't authentically be packaged in the slick sorority self-help celebrity money machine. No. It's every day women risking, braving, empowering, sharing, and picking themselves up off the ground who help others do the same through their example. This is how we shine together! It doesn't cost an entrance fee to be empowered to rise. Many of us have already paid the price.

#HandmaidsTale S4 is now on Hulu and I can’t wait to watch it. What a storyline! Are you watching it? I just remembered about my crimson cloak scene in my 2017 #WarriorWoman music video. It has no show reference, especially since the song came out a few weeks after the show originally premiered, but I could’ve been an extra since I have wardrobe covered. This “Warrior Woman” video shoot was really special as women and some of their daughters said “yes” to my all-call to be on camera with me drumming and dancing, aligned in our divine feminine. Most of them had never in their life danced while a camera captured the scene — me neither. It was a freeing and fun experience for us all. My new KC album will be coming out in late 2021 and some of my new songs elevate similar messaging. I can’t wait to share what I’ve been creating. ✨💜🙏🏼

“When they go low, we go high.” — #MichelleO

“When they go low, we go high.” — #MichelleObama by way of @bee_loo ✨I’m looking onward and upward as I start to wrap up another circle around the sun having gleaned plenty of material to weave into a storyteller’s tapestry. ✨ 📷 by @mimsterunnie in support of her @ikigai_bymimster web series she launched during covid to help people have #mentalhealth #wellness tools. You can watch/listen to my #Ikigai conversation with Milan on my website linked above.

“He’d Do Anything for Me” is the first song

“He’d Do Anything for Me” is the first song I wrote with @michellehopkinsrare for her #HaveHope album. In observing the strong bond between Michelle and her brother, it felt important to capture her love for Christopher in a song. He came into the studio with us and sang backup vocals along with @megnguyen — you can here him in this clip. Michelle’s album is getting noticed and being played internationally in #familymedia markets and rightfully so. A teen singing about real things youth experience makes sense. As you’ll see in this photo video, Michelle has been through a lot. She was paralyzed for a few months after a surgery and had a trach in her throat which made singing a bit challenging for her. True to her character, she kept working hard to achieve her goals. Michelle is determined and passionate about singing and speaking up for rare disease awareness. I’m proud of her and grateful to be her friend. 💜🎵 @c_hop9900 @lynnhopkins11 @stoneybass @drumplayer100 @hiimenzo @pacificbeatrecording @carinafleckner_photography

This was six years ago. It was months before Dad started showing signs of chemo and radiation. We took this photo after a @kathrynthegrape show. I usually don’t like seeing photos of me during this time frame because I had gained a lot of weight in a short period of time thanks to artificial hormones (that didn’t work, hence my “Three Months” song). It took me a while to adjust and realign my mental health and physical health to be neutral and natural. Then, Dad got more sick and this would be one of the last father/daughter photos I took with him before chemotherapy was apparent. The other day, as I was on my walk and working out some vocal parts with @megnguyen for my new “A Decent Man” song, this photo kept popping into my mind. I dug into my laptop photo index to find it and bring it forth. With fresh eyes, I see in this photo a man who showed up and was proud of his only daughter. He called me “Mitzy” — his nickname for me. Dad was busy when I was growing up, working to feed and house six people. He experienced fulfillment through boy scouting and then years later through men’s ministry at his church and other community programs he energized. Those activities didn’t include me but Dad and I were close. He was my go-to person when I was going through hard stuff. I appreciated his practical, compassionate, and direct approach to solutions. I was interviewed recently about my work and I gave my dad credit for providing me with the awareness of personal development work. It was my dad who introduced me to the law of attraction — but he wouldn’t call it that. He gave me books when I was a teenager that were infused with lessons about how our thoughts, words and actions create our reality. He demonstrated personal transformation and integrity in his life. Dad is the one who introduced me to some music artists that used their songwriting for creating impact and sharing messages of love. We didn’t agree on some things and that’s okay. I know there were times when he wondered about how I was such a free spirit, but he embraced it and had no questions about my purpose and my gifts. I got him and he got me, a decent man and his Mitzy. ❤️💜✨

My son took this photo when we were in Joshua Tree. We were standing back and watching our friends climb on Split Rock. It was dusk and it was just us out there in the great wide open, and it was pure bliss. 🙏🏼✨💜 #joshuartree #mothernature

Wrapping up the last Friday of distance learning with some donut love for my son. It’s been an interesting year. Flowing with all that’s been our reality, I’m grateful for being present with Landon as we both learned and grew through a pandemic. With distance learning I was able to hear my son give a speech in class, hear his teacher give him a shout out, listen as he worked on cooperative group projects, and so much more. It didn’t seem like it was going to be an ideal year but it was real, and what is real is what’s authentic and true — and that’s where goodness resides. Friday donut goodness. Yum yum. 🍩💜❤️

I met @mimsterunnie after being the guest speaker for a women’s gathering. Milan is an ambitious, professional, and passionate filmmaker who graduated with her advanced film degree right as COVID hit. Inspired to help people have tools and inspiration for mental health wellness during the pandemic and beyond, she launched her own web series @ikigai_bymimster It was my pleasure to share with her and I am beyond impressed with the episode she created from our conversation. It’s about 30 minutes long and you can watch it on her website — linked above. 💜

Capturing the lead Local story for the @sandiegouniontribune Father Joe shares about tomorrow’s official release of the @fatherjoehustlerpriest book. It’s full of heartwarming and unexpected tidbits of a priest who has lived a humble life of service hustling to help people have access to opportunities to improve their lives and empower their growth. 😊📚💜

I’m grateful to be featured in this @redtricycle article about my recent @kathrynthegrape 2021 NAPPA Awards and my next releases. It’s linked above if you want to check it out. One day I will perhaps share the story behind the story of what I endured and overcame while mindfully manifesting all of this media but now is not the time. Yet the lesson to be shared now and always is to focus on goodness and choose to refrain from energizing all else because goodness and light always shine through. 💜✨ #author #songwriter #sandiego #keepgoing #bethechange

T-minus five days! Father Joe’s book releases on

T-minus five days! Father Joe’s book releases on Monday 4/12 in print and eBook. So exciting! Then the @audible version will release a month later. Father Joe was in the studio recently recording his parts for the audio book (I’m narrating it), and my longtime friend @jpeinert joined us for his recording session as Jen helped with a few things during the publishing process. Oh, and the children’s book and song release on Monday 4/12 too. So much goodness is about to shine through to help many people feel inspired, empowered, and hopeful. I believe it to be true! 📚🎙fatherjoehustlerpriest 📚🎵 @kathrynthegrape #sandiego #fatherjoe #legacy #homelessness #bethechange

I meet with Father Joe most weeks on Wednesdays and Sundays. I upped our meetings from once to twice per week over the summer to hold myself accountable for achieving our publishing goal for the book of his life stories I wrote for him. (Think ghostwriter but without the ghost part.) I pick up his Sunday lunch at @dzakins on my way to meet with him. I enjoy bringing Father Joe lunch on the weekends because it makes him happy. It’s an easy “yes” for me. Father Joe grew up in the Bronx. When you read @fatherjoehustlerpriest you’ll learn about how he was a Shabbos Goy for his Jewish neighbors. He established a business for himself as a teen to be of service to his neighbors during Shabbat. So yesterday, on Easter, I did as I’d been doing most Sundays; I brought him lunch from his favorite New York-style Jewish deli, DZ Akins. We sat together enjoying an afternoon Easter meal; I had matzo ball soup and he ate his dessert first (raspberry Linzer tarts). And we did what we’ve been doing for the past two years, talking and listening, listening and talking. I have hundreds of hours of our recorded conversations. To write for someone else as them in their voice, you must be willing to listen and absorb without agenda. This makes me percolate on the importance of listening, observing, feeling, perceiving and just being with someone else. How often have we drawn a conclusion about someone without even knowing the other person and then later realize we had it wrong mainly because we never actually took the time to ask, listen and learn direct from the source? So, for two years, I’ve been listening, learning, crafting and writing. Something you’ll learn about in the book is that when Father Joe’s Villages first newly built building opened in 1987, named St. Vincent de Paul Joan Kroc Center, the first group to sign up for volunteering every Sunday was Congregation Beth Israel, and it’s been serving meals every Sunday since then. My longtime friend Elana has been volunteering on Sundays for years, along with many other people who are part of Beth Israel’s “The Hunger Project” — as pictured here. Helping others is about unity, as shared in Father Joe’s book.

This was the scene all weekend. What an honor. 💜📚🙏🏼 @fatherjoehustlerpriest #FatherJoeHustlerPriest
