Sunshine and Singing

Morning all,

I haven't got much time to post anything so thought I'd leave you with one of my favourite songs. I love to sing, but singing has been something I have always been very shy/nervous about so this is quite scary stuff - especially as it was recorded early this morning, over breakfast, on a very dodgy microphone (please do excuse the poor sound quality and slightly croaky voice quality!!)

This song reminds me of how easy it is to spend our time dreaming of something when in actual fact whilst dreaming we miss so many opportunities to actually have them in our lives. I'm never one to dismiss dreaming - love to dream - but dreams must be followed by action to bring the sunshine into our lives. Here's to making our dreams come true!

Click here (sorry you have to download it, I haven't figured out a better way of uploading audio to blogger yet and am considering changing to Typepad if this takes off and I choose to do more audio posts).

Amanda,

Your voice is just beautiful! Thank you for sharing it here! My daughter is very musical. She is 8 years old and plays piano, electronic keyboard, organ, and now has started flute.

Her piano teacher heard her sing once and said she has very good pitch. Anyway, she was next to me when I played your song and she said, "wow, she's good!" In my mind, her approval of anything musical is high praise. :)

P.S. Don't forget the other option we talked about... YouTube! (That will work with Blogger). You could videotape yourself singing... and with any talking you do on the video I'd get to hear your accent. :)
