WHALE FALL IS COMING!

 

 

Radio-ready, Nashville-style storytelling that will move your hips and get stuck in your head, Whale Fall is a modern take on Tawnee Kendall’s classic country-music upbringing. Expanding on the soundscape from her previous album, Release The Ghost (dubbed “heart-on-your-sleeve artistry” by Huffington Post), Kendall’s fourth studio album continues the journey in richly emotional, irresistibly melodic songwriting.

Happy Father's Day to this incoming father whose carefree childlike spirit keeps me laughing constantly. You're going to be such an incredible father, I have known it from the moment I met you. You are my light, my reason, and my whole world. I can't wait to see the cute little bunny butt we put on this child. 🐇🍑👶 #happyfathersday
"I trust my body" ...a mantra that makes me break down in tears... __ Not because it made me sad, but because I realized that for the first time, these words are true. __ I've had a strained relationship with my body for as long as I can remember. My body has been abused. It's been taken from me against my will. It's been battered in car accidents and relationships. I've mutilated it from years of cutting and eating disorders. I've thought that because people and events have controlled my body, that it wasn't trustworthy because it couldn't protect me. But I'm realizing now, through therapy, positive reinforcement, my relationship, and this pregnancy, that the things that happened to me are not mine or my body's fault. __ I'm witnessing the magic of my body every day through this #pregnancy. I'm feeling new life kicking inside me. Even after all these years of me hating my body, of trying to destroy it, of feeling trapped living inside it, it still shows up for me. It creates a safe space for my baby to grow... And it GROWS this child. My body is the source of so many forms of creativity and beauty and I finally trust it. I FINALLY TRUST IT. I'm finally sharing a conversation with my body after being disassociated from it for so long. And it brings me to my knees. It makes me break down. Not because I'm sad, but because I'm proud. I know the person I was in February of 2018 - so lost I couldn't find a reason any of this was worth it, and now I feel abundance and pride. I hope I remember this feeling forever so if I'm ever lost again in the future I can remember all my value and worth and purpose. __ I know so many of you share similar feelings of hate or distrust for your body. You don't have to have trauma or eating disorders or depression to have moments where you dislike or dismiss yourself. I'm telling you, it's not true and it's not worth the time. Your body - regardless if you choose to have children - is so magical and so powerful. It is constantly showing up for you and providing you with housing for all that makes you unique. Tell yourself how incredible you are, you magical creatures. __ #mentalhealth #mybodymychoice #eatingdisorderrecovery #therapy
