Yeah, I know… it’s a Hallmark holiday, but it’s a good excuse to share a few love songs. The big news, though, is the unveiling of a new video for my song The Way It’s Done. Beth Wood sang with me on this one on Still, and months later, we shot a video together. I […]
A college course on my book
So this is happening. This photo is of a class at Westminster College in Pennsylvania that I had just finished doing a lecture a few months ago. Now, in the new semester, there is a class being taught with my latest book, You Are Changing the World Whether You Like It Or Not, as the […]
You’re gonna need a bigger stocking…
…if you’re trying to put Wyoming in there, or Montreat, or Guatemala, or Scotland. If you need things that really do fit in stockings, I can hook you up on bookmarks, guitar pick tins full of guitar picks, or bumper stickers, CDs, books, etc., but, as someone once wrote in a song, “there’s no present […]

Navigating turbulent days
I have friends who are celebrating having fallen in love in 2020, and friends who, like me, have lost people they love to COVID in recent months. Others who have had their finances wrecked, jobs lost, and are having a hard time seeing a way forward, musician friends who have not only lost work, but […]
‘White Flour’ featured in Essence Magazine
I was blown away to get the news that in a June 2 Essence magazine article titled “11 Children’s Books To Teach Your Kids About Racism And Discrimination,” my book White Flour was listed as number 4. Given that Essence is a prominent magazine by, for, and of black women, I am beyond moved that […]

Greetings from Fancy Gap, Virginia. My friend David has a beautiful cabin here, and let me hide out for a few days to write. Sometimes it takes getting away, especially when there is a big project to work on, like a book, and I am so grateful to have a place to be that is […]
