Photo of the Day: X, by C.A. MacConnell
I started writing a new piano song last night. It's sexy and strong, and it's gonna be🔥. I used to write on guitar but piano has changed everything for the better. My voice is really shining, and it's powerful. I don't have a keyboard yet, but I'm enjoying my time playing on church pianos...it's kind of like my "secret God time." It's also a good stress release. These songs are awesome. :) With my writing and photos, my gut always tells me when it's really good. Same thing here. Just saying. I'm not afraid to share them...for now, I just don't have the instrument. I actually love being in front of people.
Practically speaking, wish me luck as I make some changes! Also, praying to the car gods every day, if they can hear me. :) Lately, something that has been helping me with overwhelming fear is this question: is there anything I need help with right now? Is there anything I need to take care of right now? Slow it down, pray, get quiet. Then I do the next right thing. The fear might still be there but then, when I make things smaller, I'm able to take some action. Small steps.
Maybe this will help you too.
My life has done a 180 in the past few years and so, it's all been extremely tumultuous and stressful, to put it mildly. At some point, I'll be able to write about all of this in detail but for now, I have to focus on what's right in front of me, the essentials. Honestly, it's been the hardest time in my life since 2005. Hard in a different way. Overwhelming and stressful, but I'm so proud of the way I'm trooping through. Unexpected, for sure. It's been pretty much this: God and me.
And maybe I can help someone else today as well. Stay in the flow, so to speak. As I age, I keep getting reminders that the importance of life doesn't rest within what I do or what I look like. It's about who I am inside...and how I can help and love people, including myself, because we're all in this together.
Hope you're well and happy. Hope you have a good day. Love to you, C.A. MacConnell
