I know all too many such stories. You have stated yours so well so far – can you find time to tell us “How I got Lost”

I’ve tried so many times to explain the fear and pain that comes with revisiting ones “baby” (mine was, and still is, ballet)–with no success. Finally, I’ve found someone who can not only sympathize with the feeling, but describe it so eloquently. Very happy to hear of your return.

I too lost my voice for a while, voluntarily, and getting it back on my own terms was a miraculous experience. Thank you for articulating just how deeply felt the pain of that loss is.

I, too, lost music years ago after all those hours, days and years of practice. Lost it to life and feeding those little ones. Thank you for expressing so perfectly the depth of that loss. Thank you for singing through these words.
