When my label told me i would be singing with
@beyonce
as the first act of the show Divas, I said “I don't dance." They know I don't dance, right?” My label assured me, there would be no dancing.

It saddens me that some media is trying to politicize this movie. This is not left or right. It’s about millions of kids being trafficked, and no matter what your faith or creed, we need to protect all the vulnerable kids rather than fight over philosophical differences.
Her and her entire crew were a class act and stayed until I was comfortable. In an era of music where too often female artists felt in competition and wanted to 'out-do' one another, Beyoncé was generous, kind and wanted me to look good.
That and my dyslexia and there was no way I’d remember the choreography. How did it work out? It was all due to Beyoncé. She kept simplifying choreography until I could get it. She stayed after our slotted rehearsal time to work with me.
I showed up for the first rehearsal and the producer greeted me saying “lets dance!” Folk singers don't dance. As a child I had a recurring nightmare that was basically this exact scenario. Now here I was with the legendary and amazing Beyoncé, and I had no guitar to protect me.

for the epic journey of an interview. I think my favorite part was when Joe had to do several deep slow breaths to digest certain parts of my crazy life 🤷♀️😜
That time I was singing folks songs on the beach & everyone decided to give in to the sweet folk feels & sit down after all the rock & pop acts made their dancing feet tired ... this day 6/6/96 - 23 yrs ago today. It’s a 3 min(!) version of WWSYS taped for MTV Beach House show.

I want to honor my father for serving in Vietnam - I believe he was 18 when he was drafted and went from Alaska to the jungle and was part of the Tet Offensive of ‘68.
I also honor my Aunt catkin who was a Colonel in the Marine Core.
I grateful to all those who have served
22 years ago today, I was on my way to Charlotte North Carolina to begin 10 nights opening for Neil Young & Crazy Horse - which started the next day August 9, 1996. Some snapshots...
Child trafficking is such a worthy and important topic for all of us to understand better - I love this director and entire team who worked in this film 👏
Sound of Freedom comes to theaters July 4th.
Help us get 2 million people into theaters opening week to remember the 2 million children who are trafficked each year.

I am so excited! It's the 25th anniversary of my first album, Pieces Of You, the album that changed my life forever. To celebrate, I’ve created a bunch of deluxe editions of the original album that will be available on 11/20, that you can pre-order now

I was fired from jobs when I refused to have sex with bosses. I became a homeless youth who was told I had no human value. I had to fight every day for my humanity. No one plans to be homeless. Vote prop C to show all humans have value.
@Benioff
7500 homeless people & 1200 homeless families & kids are on SF streets daily. We can all solve this now with critical new funding for shelters, addiction centers, & mental health. Prop C is the answer. Big corporations like mine pay, you don’t pay.
Wood Fire for warmth. Going to bed and getting up with the sun. Eating simply. Room for silence and contemplation and dreaming.
Does this sound dreamy to anyone else? Or your worst nightmare?
Would you do it for a week? Is being quiet easy, or hard?

25 years. Boom. I remember the day my first album came out. It was like whispering a prayer into the wind. The wind carries it and you have no idea if it will get answered. You have to give it time.
"Pieces Of You" was released 26 yrs ago today. Here's a clip from the live recording sessions, shot on silent 16mm film. "1000 Miles Away" didn't make the album, but was included in the 25th Anniversary reissues.
I lost my dear friend Tony Hsieh. He founded Zappos, Life is Beautiful music festival and the Downtown Project in Vegas. I have been at a loss for words, and unable to post adequately, because an entire life summed up in a meme is ... well... impossible.

“In the End, Only Kindness Maters.” I wrote these words 26 years ago. I wrote them when I was homeless, and when I realized how little it takes to transform lives. We often think it takes…
So excited to share the 25th Anniversary Edition of SPIRIT on the same day it was first released in 1998! We’ve put together such a special collection of alternate takes, demos, rare tracks & more. Thank you for keeping this record close over the years🤍

asked me to open for him. I was an unknown whose first record was considered a failure. He believed in me, and told me to keep going. He gave me the fuel I needed at just the right time, to keep fighting for Pieces Of You.
No one chooses to be homeless. I didn’t. We are them . They are us. There is no perfect solution- but as we work toward treating the whole eco system - this measure really matters. Caring matters. Homeless people MATTER.

Homelessness is all of our responsibility which is why we are supporting Prop C

. Together, as one San Francisco, we can take on our city’s most complex & difficult problems. As SF’s largest employer we recognize we are part of the solution.
To celebrate my birthday tomorrow I want to sing for you all live! And give away presents! Tomorrow at 5pm pst Join me on my songlines account on Instagram and I will take a song request and give away some of my new jewelry ! It’s @ songlinesbyjewel on IG!
Listen. Simple pleasures can transport us to the poetry and magic in life when it seems missing. It’s amazing when we get in a funk, how the simple things can bring us back. The feeling of a cool floor, warm brick, or soft grass under foot. Or sand
This song speaks to our times now more than ever. Such a brilliant lyric, it’s a mantra that converts our anxiety into beauty. And it’s the truth! 🙌🏽

I created an entire scene for Santa coming for my son to wake to: Santa came down the chimney, set out gifts, then sat on the couch, ate his cookie that Kase made him, and drank his milk…
He is just begging for .... a spanking of goodness!!!
I have never had to spank Kase for being bad .... but I sure do spanx him for being so good! 😂
Do any other parents do this?! Is it just me?!
So proud of him and his ukulele playing ... I wished i learned at his age ...

Why the queen of hearts? Because my life has been about championing my heart- and advocating for the heart of others.
This is the story of Eryn Blythe. My dad & I wrote this song for a fan who is suffering from ALS, so her children can know their mother's story and their mother's love once she is gone. Read full blog:

Well, here we are... 25 years later. What strikes me most is that roughly 1,000 words changed the entire trajectory of my life. And ended up touching an entire generation around the world. 1,000 words written in desperation, defiance, hope, power and insecurity.

I sat in communion
With stillness
Melted
A piece
Of sky
Beneath my tongue
At once still
At once a symphony
Of sound
At once deep indigo
At once a blush
A rush of rose unfolding
One ebbing into the
Other
Until all edges blur
Until i could no longer
Self from sky
