Wildflower • Streaming June 24 • Three years ago I wrote this song. It was instantly special to me, and it helped me through a tough season. Then a year ago, I started the process of recording and producing it on my own. But quickly, I gave up because I felt like a fraud; honestly, I didn’t know the first thing about production. I was sad because I loved the song, and I felt as if I was failing it. So I shoved the project away—half finished—and didn’t think about it again. Then two months ago, I sang it, a cappella, for a group of women at a retreat. I remembered how much I loved it. And these beautiful, wildflower-women encouraged me to finish it. They told me I could do it. Actually, they told me that I had to do it. So I picked myself up by my bootstraps and gave it another go. I let my ears guide me, trusted my instincts, and I finished the song. I’m so proud of finishing it, and of completely self producing it. I have so much to learn still, but that’s what this song is all about. It’s about trusting the growing process. It’s about showing up even when you don’t know the next step. It’s about letting people see something less than perfect. I see it as a little birthday present to myself. On June 24th, I turn 29, and this song represents so much of what I have learned about adulthood and growing into yourself. I hope that when you listen, that you too find something that speaks to you... Because you, love, are a wildflower.
