I've been trying to figure out what I can do with my life--it's been a challenge recently. I've always loved to write and have felt impressed to write. When I ponder what to write, the answer would come back:
"Write what you know."
Um, okay. What do I know? I "know" a few things. I know about sorrow, depression, loss, anxiety, rejection, abandonment, anger. But I didn't want to write about those things. I'm trying to break free. I used to want to write about a "great American love story". I had the main characters, I had a general plot line. But I didn't want to go there anymore. Reality intruded.
Then last week as I was sitting in the Celestial Room of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple a thought clear as day came to me.
Several years ago, on my original blog, Sister Snoopy, I created a "Musical Monday" meme where I posted songs and LDS hymns that are important to me. I love music. I love to sing, listen, and even play music on the
piano. I "know" music. Well, I mean, I have opinions about music.
I've had experiences with different songs and hymns. I know how to
write and I can share.
This (new) blog is the result of that thought. It is a culmination and continuation of that idea--only it will be
specifically related to music--of all kinds that are important to me. I
intend to migrate the many entries I have from Sister Snoopy here and
add new ones on a weekly basis. I will keep the original ones in their
place on the other blog as well.
I'm writing this more for me than anyone, though I do hope someone out there enjoys my offerings.
