Blitz was the name of my dog

It’s true. DOn’t make me cry.

Now that that is out of the way, I wanted to say sincere thanks to

for her vulnerable and authentic post.

After reading it, I realized that my focus on growth for this blitz was deeper than I realized, and comes from a lifetime of playing small and working in shadow careers that never really gave voice to my heart.

I realize that GOOSIFY is not just about bringing silliness to the table - and boy has it awakened my inner comedian in a special way - I feel like its about bringing our whole self. So thanks Sam for helping me see that!

I thought about doing a long post also, going into my story - though I think I will allow it to organically unfold as my focus allows for it.

I could not decide between physical and relationships - and yesterday I was inspired by something that I realized connected them both in a profound way for me. On one hand it allows me to focus on caring for my instrument (body) and on the other connect with loved ones and people in general.

I am going to focus on developing my ability to sing and songwrite for this challenge.

I have always loved music, though one way the education system negatively impacted me was grading me in such a way that I thought I had no musical talent.

I love singing when I am in nature, or in the flow, driving, etc. but I have never really performed, and I have been self-teaching myself guitar and other music for some years now, though recently I noticed in becoming a father, and being uprooted several times during and after Covid - my music has fallen silent.

Anywho - I feel super vulnerable putting my shiny self out there especially in this form - so I will take that as a good sign.

Special thanks to

@Rositsa Aleksandrova

for her enormous positivity, and for welcoming me also into her vibrant musical community. And if

@Lisa Black

wants to join me in some ANTI- Blitz fun, well I can’t say that I know what the difference is.

…she was a mix of husky, siberian, newfie, and collie. We had a lot of fun running around the forest, especially in the Winter - and she would listen to me sing out there in the tall pines.

Pictured below is me and my daughter - we sing together and colour our sacred LHV drum - more on that soon.

P.S. I started taking a self-teaught Great Course called “How To Sing” yesterday.

If any of you crazy Goose Juicers be interested in knowing more about what I am learning? I will be posting more of the details in

@Rositsa Aleksandrova

’s space - so join there if music is a passion/interest!
