I made a commitment to myself to sing everyday for 31 days.

See, I’m trying to decide if I really want to sing at all anymore. I thought, hey, sing everyday for 31 days, and then see how you feel.

I’m a singer. Ah, I say that and part of me feels like a fraud. Another part of me knows it to be absolutely true. The thing is, I’ve been dealing with some physical obstacles like this case of constant post nasal drip that dumps a truckload of mucus on top of my vocal cords so I’m always having to clear my throat and sing through phlegm. I truly believe that this is PART of the reason that I’ve been thinking about giving up this singing path.

The other part is that I’ve just not felt that inspired by song. That’s so hard for me to say because I’m such a lover of song. Really great song. The American Songbook. Tried and true musical theater songs. Jazz standards. Songs with great melody, heartfelt lyrics and a harmonic structure that allows for improvisation.

But I don’t want to talk about THE OBSTACLES or the LACK OF INSPIRATION because that just attracts more of the same. Right?

I want to sing free and clear. I want to sing from pure joy and connection. I want it to be easy, to flow from me like breath. I want to channel divinity, life and joy through sound. I want my true authentic voice, free and clear! No down payment, no monthly installments, no life-time sacrifices, no deals with the devil. Free and clear.

Today is Day 5 of my commitment. I didn’t sing today. So, I’m going to leave you now.

Gotta go sing "Les Feuilles Mortes" otherwise known as "The Falling Leaves."
