What's Mine is Yours {Guest Post & Giveaway}


I have a special treat for you!  Our guest post today is written by my incredible sister, Katherine Nelson. She is sharing some of her music with us. Hurray! So read on, grab some tissues and watch this beautiful video.
{And check out the giveaway below.}


Hey there!

I am so blessed to have such an incredibly inspiring lil' sis. Jessi, thanks for letting me say a few words on your blog.  Oh, memory lane is jam-packed and there's so much I could say.... Nevertheless...alas. I will be a good guest and keep it brief.

Jess- I love the way you reach out into the world your joyful, fluttering wings of optimism in 'The Hummingbird Memoirs.' You amaze me.

Last year I released an album titled "Born Brave." It's primarily for us girls, eh hem, women. I wrote on many different personal themes to help strengthen women. I'll share one of them with you today~

Because I have close family and friends that have shouldered the road to adoption, for one reason or another,  I was compelled to dive into their heartbreak; seeking some form of reconcilliation, solace and understanding that overarches the struggles and blessings in their unique, brave path to Motherhood. Being on the other end of the phone with a friend or sister who is in the middle of a misscarriage, or in the many steps of adoption, or loss with children in any way provoked me to want to create a comfort in the only way I knew how. 

Jessi has let me share with you one of my favorite songs I wrote on the album called "What's Mine is Yours." We just released the video. 

I hope it touches your heart.




Thanks for sharing with us Kat!!

To make things extra fun, let's have a giveaway of her album, Born BraveBorn Brave celebrates women all over the world for their strength, bravery and courage. It is empowering, beautiful, and toe-tapping (with its blue-grass/country tunes) every woman should have a copy.

  4. Facebook page liked, song loved! What a beautiful song that really captures the difficult road to motherhood, regardless of the path. I have been impacted by so many friends and family members who are affected by the difficult trials that we sometimes face from the deeply rooted desire we have to become mothers. Beautifully done Katherine. And congrats again Jessi on your new baby boy!
