When the Road Says “Now” 😅🚐

This wasn’t on today’s agenda…
but it is part of the journey.

Things are moving a little faster than planned —
so I’m listening, adjusting, and keeping my sense of humor.

Still here. Still moving.
Let’s see where this goes.

Thank You for Holding This With Me 🤍

Tonight was one of those moments that quietly changes everything.

I want to say thank you — truly — to those of you who chose to give during the live tonight. Your generosity wasn’t just financial; it was energetic, relational, and deeply felt.

What you helped create was a shared moment of trust, presence, and forward movement.

Every contribution helps keep this space open, grounded, and accessible. It helps keep the lights on as I continue building this journey in real time, with honesty and care.

I’ll be tagging each of you here because your support mattered, and I want you to know it was seen and received with so much gratitude.

Thank you for believing in this.
Thank you for walking with me.
And thank you for helping make the road ahead possible. ✨

When the transmission fluid smells like and is as brown as burnt toast… 😅 Yeah. That’s a no for me.

Hey loves 🤍
I’m so sorry for the sudden drop — my day took an unexpected turn and I had to step away.

I’ll be back on later today to live stream and reconnect. I love you all so much and I’m genuinely grateful you’re here.

I’ll also be sharing van updates and what I’m looking at today, plus whatever feels right to talk through together.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your steady presence.
See you soon 🤍

🎶 Schedule Update — Live Music This Morning 🎶

I’m swapping my usual morning check-in for something just as grounding.
From 10am–12pm CT, I’ll be live with a cozy singing set — classic country, blues, and songs that feel like home.

If you were planning to join the morning calm, this is simply another way to arrive.
Come listen, breathe, and let the music carry the rest.

I’d love to have you there 🤍

🎙️ Help Me Build My Country & Blues Set List 🤍 | Song Requests Welcome

I’m putting together my country & blues set list — the kind of songs that feel like home, tell the truth, and linger a little longer than the last note.

If you have a favorite classic country or royalty-free blues song you love, I’d be honored to hear it.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about stories, feeling, and the songs that stay with us.

Drop your requests below 🤍
I’m excited to see what we build together.

Ending 2025 with Gratitude | Stepping Into 2026 Together 🤍

As 2025 comes to a close, I just want to pause and say thank you.

This year changed my life in ways I couldn’t have planned — not through force or noise, but through presence, trust, and community. What we’ve built here isn’t just a channel. It’s a place to land. A place to breathe. A place to remember who we are.

As we step into 2026, I’m carrying clarity, courage, and deep gratitude — and leaving behind anything that asks me to rush, perform, or shrink.

If you’re here, you’re part of this.
We’re moving forward together — gently, intentionally, and with hope.

What are you carrying into 2026… and what are you ready to release?

🤍 Kara

Hey fam 🤍

Quick heads up — I won’t be on for an early live today.

I will be going live this afternoon and this evening to celebrate New Year’s together ✨
We’ll slow down, reflect, laugh a little, and welcome what’s next — cozy, grounded, and real.

If you’re around later, I’d love to see you there.
Same heart. Same space. Just a little later in the day.

Ever Rising Hope 🤍

I don’t even know how to put this into words.

What started as quiet morning check-ins, singing lives, shared stories, and simple presence has grown into something real — a community rooted in kindness, courage, and hope.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for showing up as you are.
Thank you for building this with me.

This isn’t about numbers.
It’s about connection.
And we’re just getting started. 🤍

Ever Rising Hope,
Kara
