It’s true. DOn’t make me cry. Now that that is out of the way, I wanted to say sincere thanks to @Meg Morris 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.
