Ku Ch House of Tea in Boulder, CO
Dear Friends,
I’m not sure what to say. I was going to write you early this morning, but I came home late last night to unexpected news. My friend Beck died yesterday.
I’ve been walking a lot today. Wandering. Being. I found myself walking around in the sun in Boulder and stumbled upon a tea shop. It seemed calm and inviting. I sit here writing you now from my phone. Being. Drinking tea. Listening to the water.
I keep thinking about Beck’s husband and kids. I can’t imagine.
Beck loved me so well. She was there when I first started taking music seriously. She was there when we celebrated my Human to Human EP getting made. She was there when I was a complete mess and trying to find myself again. She loved me through it all. It’s hard to process that she’s gone.
I know this is all abrupt and all over the place. I just didn’t want to not send a letter and for you to wonder why. Know that I have my people around me and that I’m walking through this with support.
Speaking of walking, I think it’s time to go walk again. Hug someone you love today.
