Have you ever avoided things that you knew would be good for you? Has that ever lead to the kind of funk that shows up with luggage? For me, the answer is yes, and yes...
This has been a week of taking action. It has been a week of doing little things that ended up being big things. It feels good! The funk is packing her bags!
I have been watching some of my songwriting peers post video after video of their songs. I saw that these videos were turning me into a fan. Many of them were raw and spontaneous, and I loved them, but the thought of doing the same was terrifying.
This week, I made a quick, live, first-take video of me singing and playing a song I wrote this summer called Old Love, and I posted it on Facebook. It now lives here on my website and on my YouTube channel. Making it, glasses and all, was significant for me, and I will make more.
I also went running! Actually, I walked and caught my breath more than I ran, but I was out there in the gentle autumn rain, sneakers on, and moving. I looked ridiculous, and I felt proud of myself. Today I am in pain, but I intend to keep it up.
I am a work in progress...
What are you avoiding?
