Whether you’re getting on the bus in the morning for Alabama…or up to your ears in stress and worry…or having a birthday or anniversary…or just need to run through a field with or without your clothes on…add these 4 songs to your weekend playlist. I love you. Carry on.

Some distances aren’t measured in miles…but in conversations. We’ve all been there—standing in the middle of something that’s not working…but knowing that something’s gotta give. When the ink dries on our story…what will history reveal? Will we have been part of the problem…or a part of how we heal? How do we get there from here? Listen. Learn. Feel.

James Gadson. The kindest…most attentive…most present human being. The last time I saw his face was in August via an unexpected reunion, thanks to my bro @TommyLSims . It was like no time had passed, and we continued texting back and forth through mid October when I didn’t hear from him again. I have an unfinished solo album full of songs that he joined me on when I was living in L.A. in 2016 that the world may never hear, which is a travesty because every drum beat James ever played deserves to be shared with the world. Same goes for the other phenomenal musicians on that record. I hate these goodbyes so much. You’re never ready. I’ll love you and lift you up forever, James. Rest in Peace and Power.

About last night… I jumped outside of my comfort zone here in Nashville at the request of my beloved @morgxnofficial , to share my partial story of a complicated love affair with the city of Nashville. It was a tiny talk for @tedxnashville (buuuut I’m sorry for going over my time, Jeremy😂) ~ and Morgan, Sam and I capped the night off performing our song “Good Love” from Morgxn’s new album that just came out last Friday. It was wild work - and safe to say not just for me, @morgxnofficial , @wilsongwilsing and @oliviahill247 who all shared our stories...but we got down to the business of Belonging, didn’t we??! Yeah we did. Thanks for the stretch @morgxnofficial @tedxnashville @jeremycraigsnow @analognashville Weeping on my Dad’s shoulder in Slide 2 cuz he really is the G.O.A.T.

I’ve been putting in the work and I’m not gonna lie - it feels good to be recognized! Proud of these women (swipe to see who they are!) and of all who continue to daily beat the odds! #OnlyGoingUpFromHere #InternationalWomensDay @songcompwing @susanstewart77 @lynaurelius @grammys

A time was had 💖💖💖 Our Taj Mahal ~ getting to celebrate you in song (and every day) will remain a highlight of life. As you say and as you display ~ “Everybody is Somebody” ~ and I thank you and Sweet Relief Musicians Fund for celebrating that fact. Great to be with dear friends and new friends in a part of the country that I connect with so much. #NobodyisNobody

When God closes a door, She opens a window. 💫 It’s been a wild 48 hours in my personal life and my eyes are misty with the wonder of it all. I healed just a little last night sitting in the pews of @TheRyman , being reminded to #KeepGoing by someone who truly gets what that means. Thank you @KamalaHarris . Thank you, @BrotherJones_ . Thank you @anawiita . #107days
