Confessions from a literal “bleeding heart”. It’s been hard to share pretty posts when life doesn’t feel pretty right now. So consequently, I’ve been relatively quiet on all fronts for a couple weeks now. Which is less than ideal when one has just released their first new music in a year - with more releases...

Expand.
Woman. The word itself stands alone. It is powerful. It is big and bold, encompassing every ounce of the spectrum. We feel. We know. And our days never lack in navigating when’s an appropriate time to 'feel' and when it's time to 'know'. During this pandemic, there were weeks I felt I was floating in... Continue Reading →
To begin.
Daily meditations, yoga stretches, long walks, a good book - I do these things to quiet my thoughts and center. But now, I'm being asked to hold a magnifying glass over my thoughts and memories every morning, and then re-center myself from where ever the chapter/exercise took me? And I'm doing this voluntarily? Correct.
I can do hard things.
Sat down to write a few days ago. But much like so many things in my life currently, I'm getting to it days after the fact... It is Saturday morning. The sun is shining brightly and I immediately feel drawn from my bed to be outdoors. I waste no time putting on yesterday's yoga pants,... Continue Reading →
Raye’s Read for May 2020!
Hey everybody! Quarantine 2020 has made us all work to find ways to feel sane and centered. I don't know about you, but it's been a struggle for me to remain in a good headspace the last few weeks. I've been constantly grappling with the reality that my big music releases and performances are postponed... Continue Reading →
My silver-lining.
*LONG, TEARFUL POST ALERT* It’s wild how stillness has the power to change so much…our world as a whole, but also the world inside the head and home you’ve been isolated within. Truthfully, I thought I’d get by this quarantine relatively unscathed. I’d just made it through cancer with my sanity still intact, so... Continue Reading →
The breather.
I willingly woke up at 6:30am this morning. And as the orange glow filtered in through my kitchen blinds, it made me take pause as I mixed my celery powder into 8 ounces of water. (Don't even ask, ha.) I took a photo, as proof to myself (and to document on Instagram Story) that I... Continue Reading →
Perfectionist.
It's kind of funny, really. Yesterday someone called me a "perfectionist" and it caught me completely off guard. So naturally, I laughed it off and told them to "stop talking stupid" (great rebuttal), but still they stood by their assessment. So when talking with various friends & family on the phone today, I casually brought... Continue Reading →
My 3 month Quarantine.
Hey fam, wanted to check in…make sure everybody’s good. I know that this is a strange and scary time right now. And though it might be hitting some harder than others, at the end of the day, this is affecting all of us. I find solace in knowing my boredom/frustration is being shared with friends...

the year of everything.
Well, this is a big week. A big week on many levels. I'm experiencing all kinds of feels. But more on that later. It's been a quite awhile since I've written and posted a blog, and I feel like I should catch you up on the happenings... A year ago today, I was preparing to... Continue Reading →
