🌹🎶 Feeling the Singing Love this February 🎶🌹

 

Dear Friend

🌹🎶 Feeling the Singing Love this February ðŸŽ¶ðŸŒ¹

How are you feeling this February dear friend?
Here in London February feels predominantly cold, grey and damp,
with occasional precious bursts of sunshine. Winter lurgies abound and there's frightening things afoot in the world. 
So it's quite a task some days to feel the love,
but I am doing my best to stay focussed on 3 important F's...

❤️ FRIENDSHIP ❤️ 
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. - Anais Nin
My friends are my family of choice. They are the bright diamonds in my sky, the ones who talk and walk, laugh and cry alongside me on this crazy life ride. I can own my failings and celebrate my wins with my friends as we challenge and champion each other to be the best we can be. As an artist, my friends are courageous companions who go over the creative edge with me. Ever-changing, there are friends for reasons and seasons, friends who come and go like shooting stars, and long-haul friends who set up camp and stay put however tough the tough gets going. No matter how short, bumpy or far the distance travelled, friendships  are precious.

❤️ FUN ❤️ 
Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life's light to be determined by the darkness around me. - Sojourner Truth
Times of serious strife call for a serious amount of fun. In a world full of challenge, joy is a powerful form of resilience and resistance. The word resilience comes from the Latin re - back + salire - to jump /leap, so it's literally our ability to bounce back. Our Tigger factor gets a big boost whenever we play, have fun and enjoy ourselves - we lighten life's load and rejuvenate our energies. Left-field solutions emerge when we allow 'playtime' to free up
creative bandwidth and spark imagination.

❤️ (CREATIVE) FIRE ❤️ 
Focus on what lights a fire inside of you and use that passion to fill a white space. Don't be afraid of the challenges, the missteps, and the setbacks along the way. What matters is that you keep going. - Kendra Scott
When sunlight and warmth are scarce, stoking the inner creative fires is essential - staying tuned to that which warms the heart, keeps the body vital and ignites the creative spirit. A dynamic force at the core of us, our creativity fuels strength and momentum. In a digital world, I find it's the simple magical moments that can fire inspiration, like a flash of a burnt orange fox tail flickering under the frosty moonlight. My love of singing - that simple joy of breathing and making sound
- puts a fire under my a**  !?  catalysing growth and change.
Firing up creatively keeps us fit, strong and free to sing our song, stand our ground and make our living breathing contribution to this mad world.  

So may we rise to meet the challenges of these times, hearts blazing with the resilience-boosting friendship, fun and fire of shared song.

Happy Hearty Singing in Herts With Katie Rose
Enjoy a happy afternoon of beautiful harmony singing in the serene ambience of Letchworth Quakers Meeting House.
We'll be learning uplifting songs from global genres - folk, pop and original - acapella and accompanied, all taught by ear in three or four-part harmony.
As a gentle form of cardio-vascular exercise which boosts confidence, relieves stress and lifts spirits, singing has well-researched health benefits. Most importantly it's great fun in good company.
No need to read music or previous singing experience required.
