What I would want if I had absolutely no limitations, followed by the percent chance of it happening within 2 years.

-Be able to sing a B three octaves above middle C. (85%)

-Bigger lung capacity so I could sing any length of phrase without difficulty. (10%)

-No fear and the ability to sing exactly what I imagine in my mind. (90%)

-A limitless imagination so that I can imagine amazing and creative interpretations of the music I sing. (90%)

-Time and energy to be able to sing all day, every day. (0%, although it should improve at least a little when I graduate)

-A little more charm in my fearlessness, and a little more courage in my charm. I seem to have either one or the other at any given moment, and it seems to me that when I need courage, personality oozes charm, and vice versa. (100% – I know I can change this!)

-Photographic memory. (0%)

-To be fluent in all of the languages I sing. (90%)

My work is cut out for me! Practise room, ho!

    I couldn't agree more! (And I'd be so happy to have any charm at all to get mixed up with my courage.) Don't ever stop dreaming!

I have learned that there is a difference between my physical voice, and my voice in the broader sense. I have mastered my physical voice – all the nuances, the breaking points; learned the ways my voice likes to move and blossom. There is freedom and joy in the practise of using my voice in that way on stage. But I needed something more.

Inspired by a little silver plastic chip in my pocket that said “Women in Recovery” on one side and the serenity prayer on the other (and my phone full of new numbers), I found a desire within me that I hadn’t even known I wanted until I stepped into that meeting. I wanted myself back.
