"Holding in negative emotions such as grief and anger is exhausting.
Naming them and releasing them regularly through writing, movement,
tears, singing, or making sounds frees us up to live full, vibrant
lives."
"We all have a beautiful light within... We just sometimes forget it is there." - John Holland
I
have read both of these quotes through Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's Facebook
Page. (Did anyone else laugh their ass off at the Wayne Dyer reference
on American Hustle?)
I have practiced 16 of the last 22
days. That's a lot for me. I didn't even practice on my own that much
when I was singing regularly in choirs. Some days I have dragged myself
through every minute of it, some have had moments to keep me going and
then I have a day like today. Where everything sits well. I feel pieces
of my emotional being finding their place. It feels good and it will
keep me going even if the next 5 practice sessions suck.
For
the first time in my life I am practicing for myself because I want to
find my voice. I knew that when I started singing again it would have to
be for myself only and not because I had people at the church nagging
me to do so. I have no desire to sing in the church services right now.
Maybe down the road that will change but right now I'm singing the music
that keeps me going. And it feels very good.
