So, long time no blog…because…I think I’ve finally become focused.
I remember the last time I was really focused was 31 years ago !!!!!
The first and hardest step was letting all my “morning phone call friends” know that I couldn’t talk on the phone anymore. We mostly now communicate via email. I haven’t stuck totally to that rule, but just the change in attitude has made a big difference. And no one is mad at me! They all understand and are cooperating.
The next step is daily regular practice, exercise, yoga, non-strained vocalising and technique. I even take a lesson or two. It’s really wonderful to have the opportunity to keep nourishing yourself with new approaches and concrete strategies to stay in shape musically.
Focusing and working allows us to push through the fog and clear the path so that the intended art can flow freely.
Happy woodshedding!
