Hearing the Lt. Governor of Illinois, Juliana Stratton, and the state’s top LGBTQ radio host, Jonny Gray, rave about my work today on Illinois’ Got Talent was unreal. I am so honored and humbled. I did not win the audience vote, but the response from the judge’s panel was exactly what I needed. I face a lot of doubt and insecurity about my work (as I think most artsits do), so getting their feedback meant the world to me. Thank you to all who supported me and the well wishes. I’m so thrilled I got to be a part of it!!!

New Video!
Here’s something a little different! I got to produce and narrate (and appear briefly) in this video entry for my husband’s hometown to enter into HGTV’s Home Town Takeover contest! The contest would see HGTV coming to Pana (if we win!!) and transforming several homes and downtown buildings. It’s a great cause – and this video has gone a little viral with almost 14,000 views at time of writing this. CRAZY! Keep your fingers crossed for us – and thank you for the support! 🙂

New Video!! “Heal the World” with Giovanni Nicotera!
I was thrilled to be asked to sing on this cover of Michael Jackson’s famous song, “Heal the World” by Giovanni Nicotera! He gathered 10 singers from all across the world to come together and sing a song for peace. I of course jumped at the chance. His arrangement is absolutely beautiful, and I know you guys will love it. What better time of year for this message? Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
