Being from Welsh decent there has
always been a musical thread in our family. For all of my childhood
and growing years I had one thing that I knew separated me from my
peers in a good way, that was a good singing voice. I was always a
Soprano and must admit I got a kick out of being able to hit those
high notes. I had a dream of becoming a great singer, but over the
years I remember clearly a set of events, not all tied together but
separate events that silenced my voice.
Suppressed opportunities,
dis-empowerment by a leader, the stress and commitment of my studies
but most painfully the suicide of a close friend. The song bird in
me no longer had strength to sing and I let go of my dream.
For years now I have felt robbed of a
dream but through writing my voice has found a new way to echo. It
is no longer the sound of my voice but the heart in my words that
brings music alive in me today. While my voice may never be what it
once was I know I can reach many through words spoken in love.
Have you been through experiences that
have stolen your dreams? If so, turn back quickly and fight for
those dreams once more, for our muscle memory that enables us to
reaching for a dream is strong and will sustain you once again.
Never give up on your dreams, reach out and grab them and hold on to
them tight and don't ever let go! God will be your source and your
strength!
