Faithful in the Fray

I'm not removed from the chaos, I'm faithful inside it.

I’m about to tell you something that not many people know.

And maybe after this blog post like five more people will know, but that’s okay.

It’s something that I’ve been dreaming of for years.

I’d say probably since I was six or so.

I pushed the desire aside for the last two decades because, well, life.

And then I didn’t think that it was even something that I needed anymore.

But yet, from time to time, the desire came back like a flood.

And so, I did something about it.

I asked some questions and sent some e-mails and before I knew it, I had set a date.

The six year old inside of me is rejoicing.

The almost twenty-six year old me is nervous.

Which is how I know it’s the right thing to do.

Now, for those who know me know me, you might think this is crazy,

But hear me out.

When you have a dream inside of you for as long as I have,

Don’t you think you owe it to yourself to pursue that dream?

I think so.

So no matter how nervous I am,

Or how many people will tell me that I don’t need to do this,

It doesn’t matter.

Because I’m doing this for me.

(see previous post on self-care)

So, in just seven days…

I will have my first private vocal lesson.

*gasp!* *squeal* *eye-roll?*

Yes, me.

It’s time.

And I’m so stinking excited.

    Sara, that is great. I have a friend at 60 years old who has just begun voice lessons. Good for you taking that step. Please keep me up to date as to how it goes.
    When we moved into this condo I had a lovely desk of my grandmothers but very impractical. I had sold my piano so we got rid of the desk & I now have my old piano back…my kids learned how to play on it & I sit down at it at times. So happy for you. Love, Nanny

      Nanny! That is awesome. I think it’s so important to never stay complacent in something even if you feel like you’re good at it… we should always try and learn and grow as much as possible. and I think that is where I’m at right now. I’m so excited. My next thing is trying to learn the guitar.. I’m sure Jeremy would show me!
