I've always loved to sing, but here's the story behind the voice...
My music comes to life in my “studio”, a vacant room in my home. Hours pass like minutes when I’m recording, layering songs track by track. However, you may have noticed a lack of activity on my website recently. That’s because my vocal cords aren’t functioning right now, so I haven’t been able to sing. Don’t worry, I’m optimistic I’ll be able to sing again soon, but I figured it’s about time I share my story, so here it is…
For about a year and a half I haven’t been able to sing due to muscle tension dysphonia. In August of 2015, I went in to the doctor with complaints of pain when I sing. He scoped my vocal cords and found nothing wrong, but suggested I rest my voice for a bit. However, by January of 2016, it was so bad I had to undergo vocal therapy. It hurt to both speak and sing.
These past 18 months have been incredibly hard because I love to sing. There have been many painful days with pleas for understanding. My pleas have been answered with a sweet peace and assurance that my Father in Heaven is aware of me always, and most especially in this time. My faith in my Savior, Jesus Christ, is what has lifted me on the really hard days. Christ is my strength. I know He loves me, and I can become triumphant through His Atonement.
So although it’s hard sometimes, I have learned so much through this experience, and I know I can trust in God's plan for me. It seems it’s in the hardest times that we grow the most. I'm grateful for the experience, but I do hope to be well soon!
So thank you for reading my story and for joining me on my vocal journey! I am optimistic that I will be singing again soon! Thanks for your love and support through this time.
Love,
