I filmed this video practicing my song just two days before I accidentally stabbed myself in the left hand with a kitchen knife 😅
I wrote this song maybe 5 or 6 years ago and it reminded me of why I love what I do with my art, for me it feels good to write songs, sing and play guitar.
A few of you already know, but I’m currently out of action after needing surgery for an exit wound that just missed the tendons, nerves, and bones in my left hand. Thankfully, my recovery time should only be a few weeks.
It’s been a forced rest from using my hand — and I’ve realised this will be the longest time I haven’t played guitar. I haven’t taken more than a week off playing guitar in nearly 7 years… maybe longer.
I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the love and support from family and friends who’ve been helping me and showing up for me in so many ways after my surgery.
I’m deeply determined to recover — and also very determined to do many things with one hand 😂 Accepting help hasn’t come easily, but it’s been a powerful lesson in itself to surrender and let them, to know I am worthy of it and with that I am incredibly grateful for the lessons I've learnt so far.
I can’t wait to get my left hand back on the guitar neck, rehabbing my fingers and returning to the things I love — singing and playing my songs, as well as using music to bridge the community, within ourselves and with each other. 🎶✨
