I'm making this one short (hee hee). There was one thing that came up during one of the earlier LLs about developing your CMI based on who you admire. And original music came up for me.

The one dream I have neglected all these years (while painting and writing and designing and whatever else I have been doing) is music. I am horrendously shy when it comes to singing in front of people and felt that if I could just learn how to sing properly (breathing, etc.), then I could move forward. I hear music all the time in my head, my music, new music (not an IPod girl me, no) and it wants out... I have over the years periodically looked into and tried voice classes and they have all been so very much not for me.

But yesterday I received an email from an artist friend I met here (here!) three years ago letting me know that she is formally trained in singing and would be thrilled to trade private lessons for my design and writing assistance, which she needs. She is someone I know I could really work with, I can totally be myself with this person.

THIS is major!

Just had to share.
May all your music be sweet, but not sacharine!

Congratulations on attracting what you DO want into your life! That's great.

Just want to say thanks to all for your post. I have just been kind of lurking in the background lately. My guys (husband and son)came home for Thanksgiving and I feel so out of balance. I'm slowly getting back on track by relaxing, at least relaxing my thoughts, and reading everyone's post. I take LL1 to bed with me, I have it on my desk, but I can't seem to take that first step. Our finances are horrendous right now. At Christmas to boot! I am trying not get off on the negative side of life in general but it's like I'm constantly slipping down into that hole of worry. Any suggestions? Maybe I should just read the book again...I keep thinking that if I can just get through LL1 I can move on.
I don't want to get off on a negative side here so I will run for now. Just want everyone to know that I love reading your posts and that I spend more time here in the forums than I do trying to accomplish something!

Thanks to all,
Leslie
