If you’re new here, welcome. I’m Jodi — a singer/songwriter, watercolor artist, and full‑time caregiver learning how to hold grief, joy, music, and real life all at the same time. This blog is where I share the things I’m learning, the stories behind my songs, and the moments that shape this season of my life.

My world right now is a mix of caregiving, creativity, and finding hope in unexpected places. Some days are heavy. Some days are beautiful. Most days are both. Writing helps me make sense of it. Music helps me breathe through it. And sharing it helps me remember I’m not alone — and neither are you.

Here’s how this space is organized:

caregiving

If you’re here because you’re caring for someone with dementia, start with the caregiving posts. They’re honest, practical, and shaped by what I’ve learned the hard way. You’ll find reflections, resources, and the ABCs & 123s that helped me move from daily frustration to something more peaceful.

stories behind the songs

If you’re curious about the music — where the songs came from, what sparked them, and how caregiving shaped them — this is where I share the moments, emotions, and truths behind each one.

the journey

If you want to understand the heart behind all of this, The Journey posts are where I write about what I’m learning as I go. Not a biography. Not a timeline. Just the real, present‑tense story of how I’m finding my way.

Wherever you begin, I’m glad you’re here. I hope something in these pages brings you comfort, connection, or a little more hope for your own road.
