I have a totally awesome idea. I’m sure you all have heard of that cool book The Book of Questions, right? A few months ago I dug up our old copy and have been having fun learning more about my friends by the way they answer the questions. I thought- hey! What a great blog topic! So once a week, I’ll randomly pick a question from the book and put it up for discussion. Today’s question is:

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability or quality, what would it be?
-The Book of Questions, pg 24

This is a fun question. For me, I think it would be (all super-human abilities aside) the ability to sing beautifully in front of people. I love to sing, I always have, and music has such an amazing ability to move me. Beautiful music can bring me to tears in an instant. When I hear a really good singer or musician, it fills something up inside me, it can bring me such peace and joy. I would love to be able to contribute my voice in that way. I’ve performed with choirs in the past, but there’s no risk to that. It’s very safe. The thought of standing out on stage with nothing but me and the microphone just paralyzes me with fear. A good singer has to make themselves vulnerable to allow their emotion to fill up the music. Sometimes I watch someone sing, and I have to look away because the look on their face is so passionate and raw it feels like a private moment that I shouldn’t intrude upon. I am terrified to open myself up in that way. It would mean so much to be able to let go of that fear and communicate my heart and soul to an audience through music.

So that’s me, now you go.
