New song just dropped today!!! 😭🔥🙌 #newmusic #poppunk #singer #artist #heartbreak

This is the first 30 day thing I've ever completed. Posting 30 days of these videos. God's told me to do 30 days of something many times...but I usually have managed to talk myself out of it. I'm curious to see what will come of completing this seemingly "random" assignment. All I know is that sometimes, the real reason for doing something isn't in the results, but for the transformation that happens within AS you do it. I think that's been my journey with posting these videos. I'll still keep posting, but we'll see where I'm guided next The only question left is, what is He telling YOU to do that you haven't completed yet? My song "Catch On Fire" is out on all streaming platforms. 🔥 #music #singer #transformation #God

...not easy for me. I'm the kind of person that tends towards overwork and burnout. But God's really been showing me to rest. Recharge. Do what fills me up, without guilt or shame. Today, that looks like really relaxing into my body, soaking in the sunshine and getting some nature time. Whatever you're trying to achieve, you can get there without struggle if you learn to follow your body's natural rhythm instead of pushing. Wait for inspiration. Let yourself be still and enjoy the stillness. Then, when your bucket is full again, let your action spring from there. 🌱 🌞 My new song "The Other Side" is out on all streaming platforms. #newmusic #spirituality #rest #singer

Trying implies that you aren't there yet. You need to embody the person you want to be. The millionaire version of you? Isn't TRYING to make money. They just ARE the person who makes money. The version of you who wants an awesome relationship? They aren't TRYING to find the right person. They ARE the right person. It's kind of hard to understand at first, but think of anything you've actually succeeded at. Did you succeed because you simply tried harder? Or did you succeed because you knew that deep down, you WERE that person already, you just needed to keep going the right direction? The only effort you need to make is to embody the version of you that you truly want to be. Easier said than done, of course. But you need to stop controlling outcomes, and start BEING who you really are. So, who are you? Be THAT, and watch the world around you change. ✨ Ny song "Edge of Eternity" is out on all streaming platforms, and touches on these themes. #change #transformation #newmusic #singer #artist

Ooh yeah, new song baby! 💕😍 🎵 #music #newmusic #artist #heartbreak #love

I mean, it can, I guess. But that's kind of impractical. I believe it means being aligned with God all day, so that when He moves, you move too. When He speaks, You hear it. When He tells you to do something, or you get an impulse, You listen. Praying all day means having your heart in open, loving connection with your Creator every minute. The more I've grown in this, the less time I spend on my knees. Not because I am not communicating with God... But because that is kind of like sending a formal written letter to a close friend...sometimes it makes sense... But usually? I'm just feeling His presence with Me. Enjoying spending time with Him. Loving my life and asking Him questions. It's kind of like an open dialogue I can have whenever I want. And sometimes, we just hang out, without speaking. My song "Send Me" is out on all streaming platforms. #prayer #God #music #artist

...is good. ✨ It might not feel good. But He is in charge. That's not a platitude. I didn't used to get it. It sounds trite when you're going through loss. Heartbreak. Divorce. Chronic illness. But it is THE key. If you know that everything in life is designed perfectly for your highest good and your biggest growth, then it empowers you. The divorce? It's turning you into the person you need to be to have a happy relationship. The business failure? It's teach you how to become successful. The chronic illness? It's teaching you how to love yourself. Stop blaming the devil. Stop blaming your spouse. Stop blaming everybody. You're not the victim...unless you choose to be. The moment you stop resisting what's happening, is the moment you begin to change. Give in. And watch your life change for the better. ✨ #change #healing #newmusic #singer

I know this in principle, but I've been given a great opportunity to practice this the past year. The concept is simple: you must feel it to heal it. The feeling IS the healing. That's what faith actually is. Believing when everything in the physical world points otherwise. But not just believing with your head... You just believe with your whole state of being. You must feel as if you are already healed. If you were already healed and healthy, how would you feel? I'm not talking emotions, I'm talking about the frequency or state of being your body is in. You get to choose that every moment of every day. It needs to become your dwelling place. Then, illness has no place in your life. ✨ #healing #spiritual #newmusic #God

He's not a person in the sky. He's everything that ever was and ever will be. Actually, using the word He is just a conceptualization...God isn't male or female. I've been thinking a lot about the subject of masculine and feminine energies recently. It's cool that God is genderless, because it empowers both sexes to be who they really are. The Father is a concept of source. the Originator. The seed. The Holy Spirit is a concept of femininity...receiving, nurturing, guiding. The Son is the offspring. What arises from Source coming down into the physical realm. We use human terms to describe the indescribable. And we always have to be on guard to not reduce the Eternal, the One, into something manmade...like an earthly language does. Manmade terminology can only point to what God truly is. But once you experience Him...you know Him. I Am. Existence itself. ✨ My new song "The Other Side" is out on all streaming platforms. Enjoy! #newmusic #God #source #spiritual #singer

An amazing marriage isn't built on over-serving. It's about embodying who God made you to be. God wants a great relationship for you. But first, you need to become the person He wants you to be. If you don't get this right first, you'll create hell for yourself. We always had an awesome marriage. We started off strong. Our first year, we call our "Poverty Anniversary." I remember riding our side-by-side tandem "buddy bike" taking bottles and cans to the return, for our anniversary. Then we had a lovely $14 meal at Tim Hortons. And I was so happy. But at some point, I started over-giving. Sacrificing who really was. We're taught to sacrifice ourselves. And that's a true spiritual concept. But without its counterpart, loving yourself, it's incomplete. You need both. Giving AND receiving. And for all of the women out there who are pouring themselves out, remember to receive. Let yourself be loved by him. Let him open doors for you. And really FEEL how good it feels to be served. For the guys, step in BEFORE she asks. She can always say "no". But if she does, she will feel loved because you thought of her. Love yourself, love God, love others. Because, on the deepest level... They're all the same thing. ✨ My song "Edge of Eternity" was written after I realized I need to receive. In ALL the ways. 😂 You can find it on all streaming platforms. #newmusic #artist #love #relationships

It's a topic I've been wrestling with for a few years Jesus says it. Basically all spiritual practices over the earth say it. Children's books point to it. We're all one. How? In the same way that bright white light contains all of the colors, you and I are not separate. Not really. We're all beautifully designed colors, that together make a rainbow. And who doesn't love a good rainbow? What is better? A rainbow? Or the sunlight? Or are they both just as good...just different? In my heart, I've always known that the childhood book I read, "Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters" was true. God is everyone. And yet...you are also a unique person. I'm not a pantheist. I'm just reading into things more deeply than most people do. It's all over the Bible. ✨ My song "Gravity" is out on all streaming platforms. It touches on these themes. #God #newmusic #spirituality #oneness

But inner peace is always an inside job. Everything outside of us can only point to an inside state. And that inside state, we can have at any time. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it inside. It's already in there, waiting for you to release it. The love you think that relationship will bring you? It's already inside of you. The peace you think that morning coffee gives you? It's already inside of you. Outside objects or places or people can help you find it, but It's up to you to find it WITHOUT the outside objects. God is within You. He's also in creation Don't wait for the relationship or the coffee or the lake to find the feeling that you can have for free right now. 🕊️ ✨ "Catch On Fire" is out on all streaming platforms now. #newmusic #singer #God #peace

If we don't increase the closeness with God, we stand the chance to lose what we have earned. We sabotage ourselves. We each have a set thermostat of how good we allow life to get. If we go beyond that limit, watch out... Because your thermostat will probably try to kick in and get you back to a setting you're more comfortable with. It's really all about how much goodness of God we are willing to allow into our lives. He wants to give us everything... But how much can we stand, before our carnal mind kicks in and ruins all the good we've got going? Always be on alert for The Upper Limit problem. Especially when something good happens. You were meant to have it all. The purpose of this life is to grow your capacity to receive all that God wants to give you. So that you can use it for good. "The Other Side" is out on all streaming platforms. ✨ #music #singer #spirituality

We do ourselves a disservice when we reduce God to a man in the sky. That's our measly human conception of an infinite being. But that is creating God in our image. When it's actually the reverse. We are a small fragment of the ultimate Source of life. A ray of color from the sunshine. But what does this have to do with how we live? It means that we are co-creators with the Creator. A ray of sunshine from the sun. A wave in the ocean. All made of the same stuff. THAT is the ultimate reality. So if you're suffering, struggling, or just getting by... Remember who you really are. Connect with your Source. Keep connecting, until the thing you have asked for is accomplished. ✨ #God #faith #newmusic #artist

First of all, I've noticed that I get reactive when I'm presented with a great opportunity. But then again, I guess we all do that. My husband took me to Barcelona for our honeymoon. It was two weeks of bliss. But I remember, there was one day, when we had a really bad day. I saw a whole new side to him. It kind of scared me. But honestly? For years, I thought that it was all him. It couldn't be my fault that he had this problem... But...I never acknowledged one thing. The fact that anything I had or have in my life, especially if it bothers me, is there because on some level, I want it to be. Not consciously, of course. But subconsciously, there must have been a part of me that wanted him to act that way. Maybe it gave me an excuse to get mad. Or self-righteously see that it was all his fault. But here's the weird part. Some part of that pattern is still playing out in my life. The only difference now, is that I see it and recognize that there must be something in me that wants it this way. So, I went digging (as Mary's are want to do) 😆... And what I uncovered was actually related to my music. My purpose. My passion. You see, if I have a husband that doesn't take care of his own needs, and then gets snappy, then I have a good excuse to get irritated. But underneath that irritation? Fear. Fear of becoming such a bright light, so intuitive that I become a star. Because underneath that, is a fear of losing my family. Humiliating them if I get "big" enough. Them being embarrassed of me. And here we come full circle. My husband has always wanted to take our whole family back to Barcelona. And if I get mad at him for getting mad, we stay stuck, and I won't want to go. Even though I'd love to. All of this is my unconscious drive to stay small. To not travel the world with my family (one of my life choices). To NOT be a singer that plays my music all over the place. All those pesky relationship troubles? All those little irritations that seem to small... They're all patterns that are trying to come up for healing. Your biggest irritations are actually the key to your purpose. So dig deep today. Find that one little thing that just bothers you. That's the edge of your comfort zone. Keep asking what's underneath it, until you hit rock bottom. Cheers. ✨ #purpose #singer #spirituality #newmusic

Too punk? 😂 I'm loving it... (recording and releasing soon!) #poppunk #artist #newmusic

I never really cared much about trends. But not for the reason you might think. On some level, I always wanted to be different than the crowd. But sometimes, the crowd actually had what I truly desired. So I ended up walking away from what I truly desired, simply because I wanted to be unique. That is a reaction. Anything you do based on running away from something you don't want to be like is reactive behavior. It's all about the intention. Your greatest gift to the world is expressing exactly who you really are. Whether it's accepted or not. Nobody can be you. So, be YOU today. The world is waiting for your gifts. 🎁 ✨ #singer #spirituality #purpose

You have to put in your full effort. But you also have to realize, that God is the one who does the works. It's like standing on one side of the mountain, shovel in hand... Digging...ever so slowly...knowing that you'll never move the entire mountain yourself. And yet... You keep digging. Knowing that you are promised by the Creator that the mountain WILL move. Faith moves mountains, not by control, but by surrendering control. If you only knew that every time you took that pitiful shovel full, God was on an excavator, on the other side of the mountain... And every time you took a shovel full, He matched yours with an excavator-sized shovel full of His own... Well, life would be a lot different, wouldn't it? We wouldn't give up too early. We would be encouraged to start, instead of procrastinating. It's only after we've exhausted all of your efforts, and you KNOW that you can't do it alone, that you see the mountain move. But you keep digging. Because God mirrors your effort. Even when you can't see it. He is moving the mountain for you. Don't give up. Keep taking shovel full after shovel full, knowing that you're not doing it alone. The Creator of the universe has your back. Keep digging. 🏔️ ✨ 🪏 #mountains #God #faith #newmusic #artist

...you tend to start actually loving your life. Everyone wants everyone else to change first. But that's not the way it works. We're in a quantum world. Parallel realities exist. And the only way we get to experience something better than what we have now is by accepting one thing. That you can only change yourself. Change yourself, shift into another reality. One where you can have the relationship you want. The career you find fulfilling. The family you were meant to have. The money you've always wanted to make. You control you. Once you get your consciousness right, and you BECOME the version of yourself that can actually have and KEEP the thing you want... God can give it to you. It's not magic. It's the way the world works. So, get real with yourself... What do you really want? And now, what do you have to do to become the person that can hold and keep what God wants to give you? ✨ #God #spirituality #newmusic #rock

My life was kind of miserable before I let God take over. I had always been a believer, but I also had been a closet control freak. I didn't realize it, but so much of my life was spent trying to control my surroundings. If I was overwhelmed, control the noise. If I was scared, control the fear. If I was upset, control the anger. My greatest relief came when I realized that I was not supposed to be controlling these things. I was supposed to feel them and notice what they were telling me. Maybe I could move, instead of being overwhelmed. Maybe I could actually leave, instead of face the fear head on. Maybe I could actually feel angry, and let myself use it to tell me where my boundaries should be. The feelings aren't wrong. But controlling instead of flowing ruined my life. Surrender is the perfect balance to surfing the wave. You don't try to control the ocean, you choose which wave to ride. And then, flow with what is happening. Let God guide you. What area of your life isn't flowing? Ask yourself. And then, ask yourself a deeper question... "What can I do to surrender more in this area and let Life flow?" Then the hardest part...do it. ✨ 🌊 #life #God #flow #newmusic #artist

...this life isn't all there is. There is more. An entire infinity more. This life is just a small glimpse of what we have. So if you have something good now, your job is not to identify with it. You need to be ok to exist without it. Because eventually, it will leave you...at least in the form it currently is in. Kids will grow. Dogs will die. Cities will change. With or without our consent or approval. Non-attachment doesn't mean you don't care...it means that you would still be ok without it. Because everything physical is temporary. But everything eternal never fades. The only thing you can keep is your soul. Your awareness. What would you not be ok with losing? Because that's the thing you need to learn to let go of. Only when you let go, can you get it in a bigger, better way. It's a paradox. But then again, so is life. #spirituality #eternity #newmusic #artist

...it's usually a sign that we're about to break through. That's how the upper limit works. We stretch and stretch until we're past our limit... And then the real work begins. When you feel the pull of your old patterns the strongest, it's time to ask yourself a question... "What am I trying to receive right now?" "What good thing is trying to come into my life right now?" And when you get the answer, or feel it in your body, choose to receive it. Feel that good new feeling as long as possible. That's how you change your patterns. #spirituality #newmusic #artist #personaldevelopment

I knew I loved Jesus but I didn't know it went this deep until... I let Him dig deep into the hidden depth of my heart. I had always had social anxiety, but I never knew why. It wasn't until I let myself slow down to a dead stop that I uncovered the truth I had been running from for most of my life. If you've been following me, you probably know that I had some childhood trauma that my brain repressed. Until I was ready to deal with it. Last year, God told me, one by one, to stop doing all of the things I was doing... ...until there was just one left. Music. Where are you going to fast? Spreading your energy too thin? What are you running from? Ask Him, because He knows the truth you have been too afraid to see... He'll hold you through it. So ask. ✨ #God #Jesus #newmusic #artist

But it turned out to be so much deeper than that. It was an anthem of overcoming childhood SA. I wrote the song before the memories came back... But I knew the heartache, the broken place I wrote it from, that just wanted love and healing. It's taken on a whole new meaning to me since I realized what actually happened to me as a kid. And the lyrics make so much more sense now. My heart knew. It's always known. But God knew the proper time to let my brain in on what had happened. He had held me until I was strong enough to face it. Whatever your situation, I hope it speaks to you where you're at. Link to "The Other Side" is in my bio ☝️ #newmusic #rockmusic #singer #God #CapCut

I wrote this song not knowing where it came from... But my heart knew before I did. I had been abused when I was little, but my brain had locked it away. All I knew was that I had this deep aching hole in my heart that I needed to fill with... ...something. What was it? God's love? Passion? S3x? Intimacy? I didn't know. But that's where this song came from. They say that your trauma is what makes you stronger, if you can find the spark buried in the hell. Only God could fill that hole for me. He brought me through it, held me through the painful memories as they flooded back, and helped me see that He kept me safe in His arms, even while it happened. Maybe this can touch someone today who needs it. Full song coming out soon. Follow so you don't miss it. #abuse #traumasurvivor #God #newmusic #CapCut

...succeed my whole life. And usually, I would. But here's the catch: I would only succeed at the things that didn't matter much to me. If it mattered, and I couldn't get it perfect, I wouldn't even try. We all have things that block us from achieving our goals. Some of us stop trying, so we don't fail. Some of us give up before we even get started. Some of us actually get the thing we want, then find a way to blow it up. It's time to identify the pattern that is keeping you stuck. Here's how: 1. Ask yourself, “What pattern is keeping me stuck right now?” 2. Tell yourself, “I choose to see it.” 3. Listen to what is revealed. Here's mine: I try to do everything perfectly. If I can't get it perfect, I find a way not to do it at all. Now, you have a choice. You can literally choose to let go of that pattern. Next time it comes around, you'll be aware, and make a different choice. What came up for you with this? #spirituality #personalgrowth #newmusic #singer
