Taking some time to disconnect. Gonna go cold turk

Taking some time to disconnect. Gonna go cold turkey on the news and “real life” for a few days. It feels strange. But I think it will do me good.

It's Friday and I'm throwing it back to my recording studio days! Keep reading. I promise it will all make sense. . . eventually. And you will even get to hear me sing! If you're in to that sort of thing. LOL
🌿
After posting yesterday about embracing living out LOUD and in COLOR, I couldn't quit humming the song A Change in Me from the Beauty & the Beast Musical. So I thought you might enjoy knowing about that song if you aren't familiar with it. It's not in the movie, but it should be! 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reason I know it really well is because, several years ago I co-owned a recording studio. It was a lot of work but so much fun! One of the coolest things we did was create custom backing tracks for professional performers AND serious pageant contestants. After Jason (my business partner) created the track, we needed to record a demo vocal. And sometimes my voice was the correct fit for the song. Sooooo, you guessed it, I recorded the demo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I loved the song immediately. It just spoke to me back then and even more so today. Here's a bit of the lyrics:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's been a change in me
A kind of moving on
Though what I used to be
I still depend on
For now I realize
That good can come from bad
That may not make me wise
But oh it makes me glad
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I-- I never thought I'd leave behind
My childhood dreams
But I don't mind
For now I love the world I see
No change of heart a change in me
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you'd like to hear the song, click on the LINK IN MY BIO and click on My Secret Page 🌸(Yep! I thought it would be fun to have a secret page "hiding" on my website! 😂)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Fun fact! We created the backing track for a California pageant contestant that had her sights set on becoming Miss America. She got close!

Do y'all remember the Sharpie commercial about "writing out loud?" Well that is what I was thinking of when I took this picture.
🌿
EXCEPT. . . I was remembering it as "live out loud!" 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Side note: If you know me very well at all, you know that I am TERRIBLE with song lyrics and phrases/quotes. I just can't remember them correctly. And since I can't remember lyrics, I make up my own. And that friends is how you end up recording 3 original albums. But I am off on a tangent as usual. Squirrel! 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So back to "live out loud." I happened to be looking at my closet recently and realized that I am missing color in my clothes. And since I did a major closet overhaul with @Project333 a few months ago, I can really see how muted most of my wardrobe is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Muted! Playing it safe. Keeping to the background. Me AND my clothes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now if muted and neutral clothes make your heart sing, then I have a feeling you light up when you wear them! And I say go for it!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But for me, muted, neutral clothes are a symptom of what has been going on in my life for a long, long time. I haven't been hiding exactly, but I've definitely been holding myself back. Keeping to the shadows, the edges, the perimeter of the metaphorical dance floor. And bottom line, I don't want to do that anymore.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once again back to "live out loud." To me that translates as COLOR and I'm going to slowly start transforming my closet to my favs. Today, Raise A Glass to Pink! 🥂🌸✨ #pinklove
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. How about you? Are you living out loud? If not, what's holding you back? Keeping you in the shadows? And more importantly, let me know if I can help. Together, I am confident we can get you out on the dance floor! Send me a DM or check out my link in bio to learn more about my Life Coaching services. 😀
