SHOUT TO THE LORD! • Today’s the day! I am so excited to share our video, shot on our iPhones, with each artist isolated in their own cities, which seems to have become the way of this year… Shout to the Lord, written by Darlene Zschech, is one of my favourite worship songs that I have sung in church since I was a little girl! I am so honoured to have recorded this with Juno Award nominee Mark Masri and worship leader Delyle Polet! I invite you to download the song at shouttothelord.ca for a minimum $1.50 donation to give hope and spread joy. Proceeds from this track will go to Kelowna Gospel Mission who feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and help the hurting.

EDUCATION: COMING SOON! • What a year. So many firsts, so much learning and adapting to new circumstances. After performing today, I began filming for my new educational program that will be launching in 2021. Usually when I teach it’s very personalized - but this will be a much bigger endeavor! Covering topics of performance art on broader scale has taken some time. But I’m so excited with my progress - I’ve certainly had a lot of time away from performing to figure it out! I have trialed with students, going over all the details over and over... making sure... definitely new territory! Evolve, reinvent: working on it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WORLD PREMATURITY DAY! • Flash back to when I wa

WORLD PREMATURITY DAY! • Flash back to when I was 9 months pregnant with Alexander in 2015. On this day I went into the NICU unit at Foothills Hospital and played music from my lullaby album for the staff to mark this important day. We have been incredibly blessed to have had three healthy children born without complications, and for this we are so grateful. Thinking of all those today who might be nursing tiny wee ones, and all of the hardships that entails. I can’t even imagine what you are or have gone through. As a mother, even the thought of this breaks my heart. No one says it better than @jacobgracedesigns Go check out how they are supporting families of small and mighty little ones. When they gifted Alexander a little suit he was way too big for it, born at over 9 pounds a week later, and for this we are eternally grateful. #worldprematurityday2020

WORLD KINDNESS DAY! • Music is a universal language, something we can all share. ♥️ 🌎 As a musician, no matter who I’m engaging with on stage, I try to send love out to everyone! Even when people don’t look like they’re there to have fun. Lullabies are a universal language of love and peace to little ones. Music is a beautiful language to convey so many things, especially kindness! My son says that kindness is letting his little sister take his toy when he wants it or blowing kisses 💕😘😄 I’ve seen so many lists today! I love all the suggestions: a smile, a song, so many simple ways to express ourselves to show that we are a friend. Going out of our way to smile, to help. We often talk about love and what it is. Here is Alex with a heart he made recently! My favourites of things to do today, out of all I have seen so far: Buy a stranger a coffee or gift. Smile at people, quit road rage, send happy uplifting texts to friends and family, shovel your neighbour’s walk. I’m going to try to fit in as many extra of these as I can! How about you guys? #WorldKindnessDay

REMEMBRANCE DAY • Thank you to those that have provided us with the freedom to live, love, laugh, sing, dance... I can play my violin and write whatever music I want, and live my life, and raise my family freely, in safety. The horrors of war are something I have been very lucky to live without, thanks to you. #lestweforget #remembranceday

Hey Okanagan followers! Rocky just disappeared this afternoon while we were raking the yard, about an hour ago, and we just moved to Kelowna from Calgary three weeks ago so his microchip number is registered in Calgary. Would you guys consider sharing/posting about him? His name is Rocky David, owned by Sophie & Dionysius David - Kelowna - DM me! Much loved by us and our children! #lostdog #corgi #corgisofkelowna #lostpetkelowna

CELEBRATING EXACTLY WHERE I AM! • Well you guys, tonight just after midnight I’m be exactly 40 years old!! We might not be in Maui celebrating with friends and family near and far as planned... but I’m grateful nonetheless for the friends we were able to celebrate with, and our beautiful day today and the plans we were able to make for tomorrow. I’m very grateful, and yeah, I’m FORTY! Those close to me know how I’ve been planning how I’ll celebrate this birthday for years. You never know what’s coming so maybe the lesson is to let go. If someone told me what was coming this year I would have laughed. Here’s to going with the flow! ♥️🎂 #40YearsOld #LifeIsShort #GoWithTheFlow

MENTAL HEALTH DAY • Yeah! We got this!! 👍 Actually... sometimes we really don’t, but we do our best to be our best, that’s for sure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a tad late, but HAPPY WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY YOU GUYS!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In light of the past year think it’s more important than ever to share and normalize issues, and I know I’ve certainly appreciated reading posts like this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No one is perfect, and this year it’s been more of a challenge than ever for so many… we have certainly had more stress than usual to deal with and a lot of challenges and transitions, more than expected. But we’re getting through it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personally, I have ADHD... i was diagnosed as a child but I never took medication as my parents were wary of the side effects and as an adult I didn’t think I needed it... it wasn’t until after I had kids because I had semi-effectively managed it in other ways but the sleep deprivation of having three babies in a row was too much. It has made all the difference! Without medication, I daydream a lot, and really find it hard to concentrate on anything I don’t find interesting, and if I’m out somewhere noisy, I find it tough to focus on a conversation...I can’t function well without a schedule and list in front of me.. I get overwhelmed easily and I can be extremely impulsive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have definitely had counselling for the tough times in my life and I think it’s great to normalize getting help.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year has been a tough one for many. I hear from many close to me that they’ve been seeking counselling for the first time. Self care is so important, and seeking help is healthy! I’ve had to learn this, and needed to hear it. So for anyone that needs to hear this here it is! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s ok to be where you’re at. It’s ok to not be ok and you don’t have to put out a perfect image. It’s OK to ask for help and reach out and share. Let’s be real! Loads of love everyone! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Belated #WorldMentalHealthDay2020

A fun day at Bowden Farms last Friday! I stopped to play a little piece to the sunflowers (and my babies!) and took some family pictures!🌻 Such a beautiful place! We can’t wait to go back again before the end of the season! ♥️ Side note- my SUV was stolen right after this shoot with the violin still inside! Crazy times... not sure if I will ever see this particular violin again, but I sure hope so. Apparently the police do recover stolen cars, so I’m just putting it out there that it would be awesome to get it back with the car seats, stroller and violin all still in tact.... but hey... we’re all safe and healthy so I’m grateful for that. ☀️ #sunflowers #sunmaze #summervibes #violin #violinist
