Hi Danielle! Congrats on your performances last year! I think anyone who has ever got up there in front of others, performed, been video'd and seen it back will relate... especially the mismatch between one's internal joyful feeling of performing and being in the moment (which the audience totally tunes into and is part of how they experience it - not just the notes) and then whatever is captured digitally.. Its never quite the same! which is why live music is magic... thanks for sharing, you're inspiring! xxx
Hi Helen! Thanks for your encouraging message, I'm really touched by it! You're right, whatever is captured digitally is never the same, and there's a magic to live music. For me it comes from knowing that there's a real human sharing something in a moment in time – and neither they, or we, can fully predict what is going to happen! In our age of AI I think people are going to be craving these kinds of experiences more and more.
I'm so happy to know that my post has resonated with you, and that you feel inspired by it. It's exactly what I was hoping for.
I wonder if you're writing your own songs? Do you have any performances planned for 2026?
I really love this concept of progress happening in spirals - not straight lines. It’s incredibly comforting and reassuring. Thank you so much for sharing!
You're so welcome, thank you for all the ways you contributed to my story Claire!
Glad you find the spiral concept helpful too. I'm experiencing it on so many levels – including physical healing, where I've experienced improvements followed by a resurgence of symptoms. It also happens a lot with my vocal technique, where I'll experience my voice in a new way, with a new level of power and ease, and then another day my old habits will creep back in!
Now that I understand that I experience life in spirals, I’m less likely to interpret the setbacks as evidence that I'm failing to make progress.
