I'm Kelly! I have been singing and playing piano for many years. I was once an extra on the Mickey Mouse Club and a background vocalist for Britney Spears. In 2003, I started attending church after years of heartache and pain caused by rejection, divorce, addiction and abortion. My relationship with God truly saved my life.
I am a spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, a group of men and women who have chosen to tell our stories of the devastating effect abortion has had on our lives. Thirteen years ago, an incomplete abortion left me broken and suicidal after a doctor found hands and feet of my child left inside my womb. Today, I have chosen to take that pain and make it a purpose in my life. I use my voice on behalf of the millions of post-abortive men and women who live in regret, guilt, and self-hatred and also as a voice for the unborn.
I am also a worship leader/singer/songwriter and recorded an album in 2008 titled “In Your Delay." It is a collection of original songs that tell stories, ask questions and chronicle my journey so far. I am working on my follow-up album and have begun writing a book about my life.
I am currently a vocal coach & music teacher in Kansas City, where I live with my husband and our two children. I travel frequently to lead worship and tell my story. Thanks for visiting my website!

We just got home from spending almost a week in Orlando with my parents. There’s nothing like a week with your family to make you realize how crazy they are much you are like them and why you are the way you are…even if you’ve spent 33 years trying to change that. The following is [...]
After the heaviness of my last blog, I needed to write something a little lighter this time. I do, however, want to thank everyone who left a comment, or sent an email or a text of encouragement. Many people who love me dearly had NO idea about the pain that I walked around with for [...]
Caution: I am going to share some things in this blog that are tough to write and will be hard to read…but the truth will set you free, and I know that this is part of my journey to being whole. In my early twenties, I was incredibly stupid…as many in their early twenties are. [...]
I go in Target…a lot. We have a “Super” Target, as if there is any other kind. It has a Starbucks and a grocery store in it. So, I can buy milk, sheets and an Earl Grey Tea Latte all in the same place and life, if even for a moment, is grand. My many [...]
