Day 487...Year 2

It's funny how surprised people are when they find out that I sing and not just sing but have a degree in Music... And that I am good... I love singing Christian Music and Broadway... I love Sandi Patty, she is the one person I would love to sing with...

Now here is something else that is crazy, this is the first time I have ever said that I believe I am a good singer... Which is weird because I like being the center of attention, but I don't like tooting my own horn... Like when people find out I sing and then they are like, sing something... Most often I blow them off, I feel weird... Almost embarrassed, yet they request I do special music at church or I am asked to sing in a wedding or we go to karaoke and I am all over that...

In fact this is my favorite duet ever... http://youtu.be/bd8bwcg1f7I It was during one of our Easter Programs back in St. Louis... The crazy thing about this particular recording is Rich was miked and I wasn't... Yes I know I am holding a microphone but it wasn't working properly... After the production we found out the mike wasn't even plugged in... All I can say is God Blessed me with a big mouth and some powerful lungs... ;) Thank you Webster University for teaching me how to project...

I am supposed to be doing a Gratitude journal now and I think writing this blog tonight is a good huge step...Sometimes more medicine is needed but sometimes crying is OK too... Because for me, if I own the problem and I name it, I can make my way through it... I know this probably doesn't mean much to everyone but it only matters to me in the end...

Love, peace and SING...

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

Day 159 of 366

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
