I've made a lot of post-trauma strides this last year, doing things I haven't been able to do for a decade, since the traumatic stuff began. The new one I want to conquer most is the singing thing. I'm not a great singer by any means, I have no training whatsoever, I have a very limited range and I don't have much of a voice strength-wise; but I ( Read more... )
