The first blog post - a challenge for sure, knowing where to start. There are feelings, thoughts, ideas stirring within and I am unsure how it will look or feel to bring them into the light. Maybe, just maybe, this process is intimidating. So having said that, perhaps a good place to start is to talk a bit about my title. Hopefully it captures a bit of who I am and what I love. As someone dear to me says - it’s how I “roll”….
Quiet. No one I know would describe me as loud - at least not often. While I have a friend who would like nothing better than to see me dancing on a table somewhere, some time, that’s not going to happen any time soon. Or ever.
But Growing my Voice - that is something that I have been challenged to do this year. This charge concerns a certain arena of my life, but I think it will be good for thoughts and feelings that reside deep within me to surface, to share a bit of my heart and my soul.
Gradually, gently, with resolution, part of me will become less quiet and even start to sing.
Harmony. One of the joys of my life. Sitting in the middle of a chord, overtones making the sound more than the sum of its parts - a little slice of the Divine to me. At my core I am an alto, cherishing joining others in song.
Quiet Harmony happens when I am in community. I treasure deep and abiding friendships. Rich conversations, where we can get a little quiet, a lot deep, and where our souls’ meeting makes music that glorifies our Maker.
Growing.
Singing.
Harmonizing.
Loving in community.
Touching souls through words and encouragement.
My idea of a good time.
