The Process Behind Braver:
Deliverables
Braver was not only a passion project from my heart, but it was also a project I did at Southern Utah University called the EDGE project. This page is specifically devoted to showing the process of Braver and how my EDGE project unfolded. Below are the "deliverables" of that process. This journey has been beautiful and so healing for me. I'm grateful that Braver has forever changed the way I view my mission, others, and myself.

Click play on the music player below to listen to the offical audio of Braver:
Making the song:
Below is one of the first audio recordings of Braver, before we recorded my voice. It's just the music. We later changed the bridge and took out a few measures, but this allows you to really hear the beautiful Old Steinway Grand Piano plug we used! Hit the play button to listen to it!

Making Braver's album artwork:
*All watercolor images seen below are original paintings done by the very talented Britt Woolf! A huge thank you to Britt, this project wouldn't have been possible without her*
Britt Woolf helped with the artwork and as you can see she went to great lengths to get it perfect! After more than 6 drafts Braver now has beautiful album artwork. Go check out Britt's work on Instagram, Etsy, and other social media sites and support her beautiful art and growing business! @thewoolfgirl
Sharing and Performing Braver:
I have had so much fun performing and sharing Braver, and it's just going to continue! I've performed at a few church functions and in the community and I've been given permission to perform at the next ERM conference put on by the nonprofit organization Mission Fortify. Visit my resources tab to locate Mission Fortify's website. I also update about Braver on social media and add to the blog biweekly. More stories from other ERM's are in the works!
Making the Braver blog:
The biggest "deliverables" from this whole process were definitely the finished song and blog, but the process is almost even cooler to see. You can see my final product best by clicking around in my website and reading what I've written, as well as listening to Braver. I am constantly adding new stuff and I already have a handful of readers. My favorite emails to get are the ones letting me know I have a new subscriber to my blog! Thank you all so much for the love and support. I know I've said it before, but I've loved every part of this project.
