As hard as coming home has been, the open mic at PACE has made the week for me.
I marched right up onto that stage and sang Bonnie Raitt's 'Guilty' a capella, and proved myself right.
I knew something had changed, I knew I could do it, and I knew that someday my hands would stop shaking and my voice would stay steady.
I got off stage and they were all waiting for me, they knew that the minute I was done I would make a bee-line for the door, they blocked it and hugged me. David, who had brought me into acting, and has taught me everything I know, was speechless. He of course found words, and we had a discussion about how my voice has stopped changing, had settled, and how I've grown into it.
I cannot express to you how much it all meant to me, because I have been waiting for that for 3 years.
Singing used to be such a competition, I felt like I had to be good at it. But I've realized it's not, and that it's all for myself, and a therapy.
What an uplifting feeling.
