Can’t wait!!!

That is a hard one. I think for me it fluctuates day to day. In general, though, I I am always holding back just a little. I know I have been hiding g from view for years now and only started to come out from behind my shell where it’s safe, in classes with She Code, and a little with my family. But there is still a hard edge in front of putting myself out there for the world to see, whether it’s online or in person. But this is part of my journey back. I had an amazing experience recently where I was touring the Allie historic house and gardens off of 280 near Los Altos, Ca and there was a music room with these live acoustics and I just felt compelled to sing. Before I could talk myself out of it, I just went up to the stage area and started singing O Mio Babbino Caro, an aria I learned a long time ago and it came sailing out crystal clear and all these people from other rooms came running in to see and started recording me with their phones- it was the first time in oh so many years that I wasn’t afraid,. It was thrilling! I know I would not have been able to do that before working with you, Michelle, and these wonderful women you draw to your classes. It ended with thunderous applause and warmed my heart, and made me think I might be able to reopen that door again in the future…we shall see! By the way- Still having internet issues. I ran out of cellular data on my family plan and so I am unable to get onto Zoom or anything beyond texting on my phone. I have rectified that going forward but my plan doesn’t turn over until tomorrow. I am so sorry to miss the live calls this week! But at least everything will be in order while traveling during She Code Academy!

Ooh…that was cool. So was Elaine’s sound bath, even in the replay. So soothing. Finally back where I have reception, and was able to listen to th sound bath while und r the big Redwoods in Moss Beach with the waves of the ocean in the background. So so nice. Thankyou Elaine, and thankyou Michelle. What a gift…
