I saw some profound things today and realised how beautiful it was to be out in the sun on a spring day with my wonderful best friend. I saw people’s creativity and felt lucky š Some photos will follow of Salisbury Cathedral and its magic…
And as if by some beautiful magic, as soon as I’d finished writing the sentence ‘face my fears’ I heard some huge wing beats outside and saw two swans had just landed at the bottom of the garden. How fittingly beautiful ā¤ļø Yay for nature. Yay for life. Iām ready.
Facing my Fears
Yesterday was a confusing and hard day. After a great morning in the pre-spring sunshine doing jobs, all of a sudden I crashed out and became confused with myself. I doubted myself, my abilities, got incredibly lethargic and a massive migraine. I was trapped in my own head. All the music I listened to made me feel insignificant. That my voice wasn’t good enough. I started comparing myself to others and couldn’t stop, even though I knew it was pointless. My fear of performing live began to surface, my breath quickened, the dread came. I love to sing and let my voice soar but as soon as there’s an audience watching me or even some recording equipment nearby I stress out. I also know that the more I do it, the more I’ll get used to it.
Cats. Hanging out. They are awesome at synchronising movements. Like paw washing, ear tip movements, tail swishes.
Best friends having some winter fun āļøā¤ļøāļø
I love snow shadows āļø
She made it!
It took 24 hours and some serious snow shoveling for this little cat to venture out.
Letting Go
This is my final play on my beloved Dusty Strings harp. So bright and beautiful. A real honour and joy to play. Thank you. May you meet lots of wonderful people on your new journey and have amazing adventures. I’ll always remember your sweet, powerful song ā¤ļø Iām selling it because I’m a traveller now so my smaller harp is more convenient to carry around and suits my voice better. It’s been an important lesson in letting go.
I met this little character today. Mimi. As you can imagine she is a delight. I fell in love with her instantly. She’s a rescue from Romania. It made leaving my harp there to sell that much easier.
Squidgy sleepy cat Muffin doing what she does best.
Cat love. Yay! š»
Beautiful colours at dusk.
This is Fennel. She’s another manga character. Full of love. Enjoys company and strokes. Biggest eyes ever. š»
What a treat. Singing in nature.
I went for a walk along the canal today and sang under a bridge. I love singing under bridges! The acoustics are amazing! Saw my first kingfisher too, diving for its dinner. Staying in random towns and villages is really fun. So many new places to explore.
Brighton Pier. Starling murmurations. Sunset.
Goodbye lovely Georgie. You’ve been so sweet to me. Your presence has been appreciated old girl. Hope you’ve enjoyed the massages š I’ll always remember you. Now onwards, to meet Muffin and Fennel š»
Pure love.
