PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE

People,

People who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world.

We're children needing other children.

And yet letting our grown-up pride

Hide all the need inside.

Acting more like children than children.

This song never ceases to send tingles straight to my heart. 

You know what else constantly touches my heart...?

You. 

People. 

Real, live people. 

I am going to make an effort to blog about the incredible people that make my hairs stand on end.

NAKED

Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to participate in an Alexander Technique (voice stuff) Masterclass. It was life changing. I wish I could put the experience into words. Imagine being stripped of all cautionary behavior, wearing your fears on your sleeves, and dissolving all of your walls. That is what I experienced. I felt more like myself, more awesome, than I have ever felt in my life.

With tears in my eyes, I sang with my heart, my whole heart, and I was told it was more striking than anything I had done before. I felt pure and unadulterated. I wish I could be like that all the time. From now on, I plan to dedicate my life and career to doing just that - purifying mine and others' lives.

It is amazing what connecting with human beings can do to you. Vulnerability is incredible. I think I will post a video of my experience soon. But I will have to watch it first. Until then, enjoy this ted talk from Brene Brown about vulnerability. Your mind will be blown.

BRAVE HEART

My friend Rachel often talks about leveling up - becoming a better, more advanced version of yourself. These last few weeks, I've done a lot of that. I must be a level 31, at least. I uncovered a brave part of my heart that I didn't know existed. Yesterday, while contemplating my new brave heart, I realized just how awesome I truly am - like even more awesome than my Christmas sweaters or my wild hair.

Finding the words to prove this truth has been rather difficult. So I've satisfied myself with the knowledge that God truly and honestly knows how awesome I am.
