3rd Week of Silence

Now you would think, 3 weeks in, speaking less would just come naturally.  Well, that’s not exactly the case.  I speak softly and deliberately, but talking none the less.  If only I could write as fast as I speak.  And as my nickname in high school, “Speedy,” suggests, that is fast   I’ve had many goals in these “6 Weeks of Silence” and teaching my 2 year old to read my chicken scratch should have been #1 on that list!

That said, I am grateful for this time of reflection.  I haven’t had this much “time off” since I started singing professionally 9 year ago.  As with anyone who has to take a break from something they love, there is always a great appreciation when you are able to return to that very thing, whether it is singing, running, etc.  I can’t believe I am over half way through my 6 weeks.  I am just hoping that the healing that needs to happen is in fact happening and that the end/new beginning is just around the corner.

Til next week… 😉
