Thanks Leonie, I am a Goddess whose gift of song has been too long hidden… I know music is part of my destiny here on Earth so I am working up to sharing it more and more, and writing some new songs. Thanks for sharing your story! I can totally relate to what you said here!

Hi, Leonie,
I just listened to your “Vimeo.”
I like your voice very much, but you gotta SING OUT! with Confidence! Easier said than done, I know.
My feeling (I like to sing, too) is: If you’re gonna sing, SING! Let that pretty voice soar!
Hope you don’t mind my “advice,” but I just know it’s the thing for you.
with Love,
Marilyn

Oh my Leonie that brought back memories.

1st I would like to say that I loved it, you are a natural.

2nd it brought back memories of when my dad would come back after a bad day and sit in the study strumming his guartar away as he only knew the chords, and he use to sing “horse with no name”, “Hotel Californa” and “Pub with no beer” (time after time, as he thought he had these songs down pat lol, it was definately better then when he was learning new songs lol) at the time it use to annoy me because he can not sing to save him self and his strumming was just at bad, but now I look back at how happy and content he was just to sit there and sing to himself.

It makes people really happy to find something they like even if they are not good at it, as long as they are happy with is that is all that should matter.

Keep it up Would love to hear more.

Sam

My goodness goddesses… I feel all scooped up with love. Thank you so deeply & dearly. May we all have the love & courage to do the things that scare us… and do them ridunkulously imperfectly.

I am so so blessed to know each & every one of your beautiful souls….

It’s true.

Oh dearest Leonie, this post speaks to me so very much at this time. I have a tradition where I study/learn something for the year (beginning at the Chinese New Year…coming up!) and I’ve been going back and forth as to whether this was the year if I was really going to just go for it and learn that guitar. I, too, have been wrapped up in just wanting to be GOOD at it (and had a guitar several years ago) but my sweetie at the time was very much like your sweetie now in his natural gift of being musically amazing. Instead of seeing this as an opportunity to have someone guide me, or inspire me, I looked at it as something I would never be as good at as him…so I stopped. This has always saddened me but this post has pushed me over to the side of committing to make this my creative endeavor this year.

Love you!

Love this, Leonie, love this!

You have the voice of a bard. I didn’t even have to try to imagine the campfire and family gathered around, my brain did that for me all by itself.

And the look on your face as you say “Mistake number one, I will continue on,” is PRICELESS. Wise and humorous at the same time.

Yay for creative courage! (I’m going to make it a point to sing a song today.)
