I Will Not Lose My Song

I will not lose my song. 

At 65 I can’t remember where I left my keys, but I can remember every word of a Broadway showtune. 

Since I was little, I loved to sing. 

I believe singing is a God gift.  God gave me a little body and a big mouth – What can I say?

I’m grateful. 

I sing to share joy. 

For many years, my life was joy.  It was so easy to sing.

Then life and dreams were shattered.  Trauma ensued.  I wondered: 

Could I lose my song?

After months of turmoil and processing the loss of my love of 40 years, I realized: 

I CANNOT lose my song.  

Neither can you. 

Whether you sing your song, play it on an instrument, or listen intently…

Don’t Lose Your SONG

✅ Don’t lose your song.

✅ Your song is the lovely music God has given you to share with others

✅ Music reconnects your brain to your soul

✅ Music reawakens something deep inside.

✅ Music redirects the brain to calmer places.

✅ Some music awakens raw feelings – allowing you to deal with them and…let go.

✅ Some music flows like balm over raw feelings – comforting the heart

✅ Seek out God’s music

✅ Music heals

I recently had the honor of performing as Luisa in the musical, The Fantasticks.

I consider it a true miracle this 65 year-old played a whimsical, innocent 16 year-old on stage.

I sang and danced with all my might and…there on stage…I healed a bit.

In the midst of performances of this poetic love story, I came to grips with my lost love.  

Singing released some sorrow.

God knew just what I needed.  

God, I’m so grateful. 

I continue to sing.

I invite you to join me.

🎶God won’t let us lose our  songs.  🎶
