I love to learn & share what I learn on personal growth, communication, creative expression and how to help people to be better leaders and be better humans.
Went to check out a Jeff Buckley cover band play last night. Here’s a clip of Molly Davis killing it on the drums!
I got randomly placed in a band with Molly through Girls Rock Camp Toronto’s first rock lottery. So excited to create music with her and two other women I’ve never met before.
We’ve been tasked to come up with a 10 minute set (we could write originals or play covers, it’s up to us) at The Burdock on April 1st where all the other random bands will be playing to raise funds for Girls Rock.
We are meeting each other and jamming today for the first time. So excited to see what happens!
The death of Cranberries singer, Dolores O’Riordan is a tough one for me to take. I’m feeling this one personally as a longtime fan of her music. She’s also the same age as me. Seeing that she was born the same year as I was really hits home. It’s reminding me of my own mortality.
This morning I watched a video of me doing a talk for a “Think Pink” fundraiser about my personal story with breast cancer (I was diagnosed when I was 29 years old.) I wrote about it and posted a video on my (now abandoned) blog in 2008 and haven’t looked at it since. http://lizzlulu.blogspot.ca/…/cancer-sucks-my-story.html
The song “Dreams” reminds me of the time when my treatment was over. I had a so many dreams. And in all this time, fear has been stopping me from fulfilling them. The song spoke to me this morning and it made me realize that it’s time. I’m at a place in my life where I know that “I want more” and it’s getting “impossible to ignore.”
Dreams
Oh my life is changing everyday In every possible way And oh my dreams It’s never quite as it seems Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now I’m feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more, impossible to ignore Impossible to ignore And they’ll come true Impossible not to do Possible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don’t hurt me
You’re what I couldn’t find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You’re everything to me
Oh my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
‘Cause you’re a dream to me
Dream to me
