Taking the plunge

🤗🤗🤗💕 @Maggie ....

It is so wonderful that you have checked in @Maggie We very much miss seeing you around but we also know how hard that can be sometimes. You are in my thoughts constantly Hon

@Zoe7 You are a treasure. If I could only get words from my head to anywhere else it would be helpful!!!!! But I can't. Communication on and off line are just not happening. How I wish I could speak. So much for finding my voice !!!!!

I do hope you are doing okish ish. Lots of these for you.💕💜💕💜

@CheerBear I saw your like. Thankyou. Sounds like you are in the desert also, a hard place, and lonely. Thinking of you. Sending lots of these. 💜💕💗💜💕🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

You don't need words @Maggie just the fact we know you can't get words out tells us exactly where you are sitting Hon - lean on us and know we are with you, care for you and love having you around ...even if it is just under the support button

A whole world of these 🌹💕 for you sweet Maggie.

@Former-Member Very conscious of the fact you have been away for a while too Hon - I know you have a lot to deal with and that it is not at all easy for you. Sending you hugs and love also 💚💜💙🧡💛

@Former-Member Lots of this for you. 💜💕💜💕🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

You were very much missed @Maggie

Getting the word connection to mouth has been a huge issue for me. I did not start singing to after 40 and I have found putting other people words in my head and mouth all the time has limbered up my connection with words. Still, I am stuck at times, like in my youth, but I am finally getting the hang of speaking out loud... lol ... in a non mad way ...lol

Are you singing, even quietly to yourself at home?

@Appleblossom Not singing atm, but I am teaching signing to 4 yr old kinda kids, 11 of them. "How could anyone" is the song, I often drop it off here in different places. I hoped to sing it but confidence in non existent right now. Tuesday they were singing along, I almost burst into tears, ( happy tears ). I just want to plant seeds for the rough times they will encounter.

I only found my voice a few years back and I'm well into my 60's. Lost it again. Oh well. Still writing songs though. There's a lady here who is a singing/music teacher, she's going to listen to my music and see if it's worth anything. I think it's rubbish, she might confirm that.

As for singing, I'm an accidental singer. As a student at bible college I had a song I couldn't convince anyone to sing, so I reluctantly got pushed onto the stage, people just kept asking me to sing at weddings, graduations etc after that.

Im picking bits and pieces up here and there of how others here are going. I think you are doing okish, hope I have that right. Good to chat.
