✨ Count Your Feelings ✨

A few years ago I rewrote the well-known hymn Count Your Blessings into Count Your Feelings.

I did this because I realized I used to love (well, love/hate) the hymns and wanted to take the yuk out of the yum. I wanted to reimagine them. The tenancy to dismiss pain and sing about gratitude misses the mark for me.

I wanted and want to live in a world where feeling deeply — all of it — is seen as sacred data.

When we start to count our feelings instead of avoiding them, we build emotional literacy, creative courage, and collective empathy.

That’s the world I’m here to help imagine and create.

As an artist, composer, and founder of the Inner Child Museum, I see emotional awareness not as indulgence but as infrastructure — the foundation for how we design our homes, our systems, and our relationships.

Let’s build that world together — one feeling at a time. 💗

I’ll share a couple more of my hymn remakes soon, which I call them Pink Hymns / Hyrs. I also have a zine of them for purchase/donation to the Inner Child Museum. Once you make a donation here you will be sent a password to access the zine.

Love,

Kadie
