I Did It!

I faced my fear and sang my song myself Saturday night. I was surprised at how nervous I wasn't. I think there were several factors playing into that. As soon as I finished my song my stomach was immediately killing me! But I was thankful that those pains were kept at bay until I was through.

It wasn't the best I've ever sang, but it went okay. And for me, facing my fear was an ENORMOUS accomplishment!

It felt good!

Daring to Write It

I was shocked while reading the above article to find out that this ICON in Mormon music had a stroke about 5 years ago. I was even more shocked to read that once upon a time she wrote a goal down - that someday Primary children might sing one of her songs. Where would Mormon music be without Janice Kapp Perry???

So I'm going to do what Sister Perry says. I'm going to write my goal.




It seems ridiculous.




Feel free to laugh.




I want one of my songs to be performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (or one of it's factions).




And it would be extra wonderful if it was arranged by Mack Wilberg.

It's Official

Yesterday I committed to performing my song at the Composers Spectacular at the end of the month. You know how I feel about singing in public, but I have a new boost of confidence (thanks to my church calling). Also, this is a song-writing competition not a singing competition. So, who cares? Right? Well, me actually. But I feel pretty good about it.

So here goes nothin'!
