THE HEALING

AVAILABLE NOW

THE HEALING IS MY FIRST ALBUM. A JOURNEY TO FINDING MYSELF. LEARNING SELF-CARE, UNDERSTANDING PURPOSE, FACING MY INSECURITIES, CREATING BOUNDARIES, MANAGING MY EXPECTATIONS, AND FINDING LOVE AND FRIENDSHIPS ALONG THE WAY.

THE HEALING TELLS THE STORY OF A MAN WHO WAS TOLD WHAT TO THINK, NOT HOW TO THINK FOR HIMSELF. IT'S A LIFE-LONG REFLECTION.

INSECURITY CAUSES UNCERTAINTY AND AXIETY. LEARNING TO DEAL AND HEAL WITH MY INSECURITY BROUGHT ME PEACE OF MIND.

I HAD TO LEARN TO MANGE MY EXPECTATIONS. KNOWING THAT NOT EVERY OUTCOME WILL BE THE OUTCOME I DESIRE. THIS KEEPS ME FROM EXPERIENCING GREAT DISSAPOINTMENT.

LIFE IS FULL OF EXPERIENCES. IN EACH EXPERIENCE WE CAN EITHER ENJOY IT OR NOT. I LEARNED TO FIND PURPOSE IN EACH EXPERIENCE. A LESSON FOR THE GOOD OR THE BAD.

RESERVATION FOR ONE WAS AN AWAKENING. AFTER MY MARRIAGE, I DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO GO TO RESTAURANTS ALONE. AFTER MY HEALING JOURNEY, I TOOK MYSELF ON A DATE TO A RESTAURANT, I ENJOYED JUST FOR ME. IT WAS LIBERATING.

THIS SONG WAS DEEPLY EMOTIONAL TO WRITE. I’VE WATCHED MANY WOMEN I LOVE IN MY LIFE STRUGGLE TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF UNHEALED MEN. OFTEN BLAMING THEMSELVES. THIS IS A MESSAGE TO THEM. LOVE YOURSELF, LET THEM GO.

SILVER LINING IS DEDICATED TO MY BROTHER, BRUCE WAYNE. A MAN LIKE NO OTHER. HE TAUGHT ME TO LOOK AT THE THINGS I HAD BEEN INGNORING. SIMPLE THINGS LIKE A SUN RISE AND SUN SET. WE TRY TO SHARE THESE IMAGES AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. BRUCE IS A CANCER SURVIVOR AND A FIGHTER. HE GIVES BACK EVERYTHING HE CAN TO HIS COMMUNITY AND FRIENDS. A TRUE HERO! I LOVE YOU, BROTHER!

I WAS INSPIRED TO WRITE SWIPE AFTER EXPERIENCING ONLINE DATING. NEED I SAY MORE...

GROWING UP, ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS WAS ENDLESS LOVE. I WANTED TO WRITE A SONG THAT CAPTURED THAT FEELING BUT ALSO TOLD THE STORY OF TWO PEOPLE THAT GREW INTO LOVE. THAT TOOK THE TIME TO REALLY UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS OF A RELATIONSHIP.
