Living My Truth: Taking Uncomfortable to the Next Level

21. Oct, 2009 Categories: Living Your Truth by Elizabeth Potts Weinstein View Comments

I created this video for my 6 Weeks to Live Your Truth Project members (we are still accepting new members until Thursday, so check it out), but wanted to share it with you too.

I have always loved to sing, but stopped singing in public when I was in 7th grade, when another girl got the lead in the church musical. At the time, I did not realized it was because unlike me, she had been taking singing & dancing lessons for years. But I viewed that as confirmation that singing was not my calling, and from then on, only sang to myself.

So here’s a little song for my Live Your Truth peeps, the first time I’ve sang in “public” in 20 years. :) Not only is this an example of doing something (very!) uncomfortable, but also a way of bringing a seemingly-unrelated passion into my business (as we discussed in 6 Weeks to Live Your Truth).

Why am I posting the video on my blog?

Well, because the very idea of posting it in public for everyone to see kind of makes me want to throw up. So, that means I totally have to do it. Cause that’s how I roll.

And … be nice. :)

  • Way to go! You should join these other brave women & upload that at http://www.sayitfacetoface.com/conversations/do-you-remember-the-lyrics

    I wish I could sing at all. I'm basically tone deaf. Very tragic.
