The Heart Rock Ranch

Intro/Announcements:

Hello everyone and welcome to the Heart Rock Ranch! This is my incredible sweet husband Glen Meloy, and I’m Kat! Over here we have Mike and Rene, owners of Angel Wings Ranch charity, and our first spotlight musician, Michael Ingalls. I want to thank you all for coming out, not only to support this charity and musician, but also Glen's and I's vision. 

 

We have several people here today that drove in from Dallas, including Glen’s Mom and Stepdad, friends that I have know for 30 plus years. Glen's Step Mom, was flying in from Maryland today but her flight was cancelled. She is with us in our hearts though. My parents can’t be here as they are in their mid 80’s, but they have expressed how proud they are of us. To represent my family, my brother, Taylor is here. He has always been my best friend and believe me, Taylor never misses a good party and he knows his baby sis throws good ones! 

​

A little history about us, in 2018, Glen and I found each other late in life and began dating in 2018. in 2019 we were engaged, and married in 2020 during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Within the first few months of our marriage, we purchased this home during one of the craziest real estate markets this state has seen in decades! We couldn’t believe we were able to buy this home for listing price when things were selling for 2-3 times more then their value. We truly felt it was a gift from God and there is a stated purpose here! We feel something bigger then us is supposed to happen here, perhaps it's this event?? Time will tell.

 

Speaking of purpose, have any of you ever wondered what your purpose is? Some of you may have not ever thought about it, or have, but don't have any clue what it could be. 

 

I feel to discover our life purpose, it begins with tapping into our God given gifts and talents and our soul. This is what sets us apart from one another and helps create our legacy we leave behind. 

 

Throughout our lives we see people that make a big difference in the world, such as Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein, even Elon Musk, the list goes on and on. But let's face it, most of us won't leave quite the legacy behind as these folks. 

 

Years ago, I asked myself "What is my purpose?"...after all, I didn't invent electricity or the autonomous car, but instead of focusing on what my purpose is, as that was too big, I asked myself "How can I add purpose to my life?" 

 

I pondered what talents I had and what I could offer the world, the answer was plain and simple, my creativity and the way I LOVE!  Then I asked, "What makes the way I LOVE different?" I think my mom summed it up best. She said, "Kat, you never allowed your heart to become jaded. You got up, dusted yourself off and loved hard like your heart has never been broken" let me tell you I've had my fair share of pain! She was right! My ability to forgive and LOVE unconditionally is one of my superpowers! I have never allowed my past to dictate my future, alter my core, or stop seeking the best qualities in people. 

 

Now that I knew my superpower, I pondered how could I share that with more people than just my close friends and family. I knew this world needs one giant cuddle, and also knew the first day we bought this house that something bigger than us is supposed to happen here, so I decided to have yard concerts to help support charities and musicians. The Giving Heart Music Series was born. Is this my end all purpose? Perhaps not, but I know this event is guiding me to what is.

​

The visionary in me set big goals to create this event. To begin, we needed to give this home lots of TLC!  My patient husband and I completed over 124 projects in just one year to prepare for this day. I think goals are the like a beacon that guides us down a path and helps us discover our purpose... if we are paying attention.

​

For Glen, his superpower is his ability to pick up any instrument and teach himself how to play it within days, and I do mean days. it’s crazy cool! Bango, Guitar, Bass, Piano, Violin, and Drums. He joined a praise band during covid which began his live performance journey. he enjoys sharing his gift with others which you will see here shortly.

​​

To wrap this speech up, yesterday my Mom said, "We have the ability to create what we think heaven is here on earth until we get to the other side." currently, I feel my purpose is to create  something beautiful here on earth that encourages love within others in a world that is starved. to find creative ways to help others feel better then when they arrived at the Heart rock Ranch. To open my doors to friends, family, and even strangers to create what I think heaven is like in my daily life. We may not truly ever now our life's purpose, but if you set your mind to find it, I feel God will show you what it is.

​

Let's get started with our purpose of the day which is supporting Anel Wings charity and  hearing from our spotlight musician, Michael Ingalls. Michael has been featured on Texas Music radio, toured with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble rhythm section, recorded with Reba McEntyre, and much more!

 

After Michael's set, we will hear from Angel Wings Ranch about their mission and music from my hubby Glen, so​ hit it Michael!!
