Welcome and A Little About Me

Welcome to "Singing My Way To Disney"! This is my first try at blogging (I guess we'll see how I do . . . ). I've enjoyed the idea of having a blog for a long time--I've always enjoyed writing, and love reading others' blogs--but somehow never felt as if random strangers--or heck, even my family--would find my ramblings interesting.

I'm here now in large part because of a conversation I had with another blogger, Amanda Tinney of Disney Every Day. Amanda and I had met via Twitter and met up for lunch a few months ago. We started talking about blogging and I basically told her what I've just typed here. She suggested finding a way to write about a hobby, like singing. It stuck in my head for a few weeks as I read more and more blogs.

I realized that everyone has a story. But the blogs I enjoy most are those that have a focus which means something to their writers. My focuses these days are my family, music, getting healthy and Disney. I could certainly join the ranks of writers who cover any one of these topics, but I wanted to find a way to add something unique.

So here I am, thinking about a dream I've had since high school: to sing at Walt Disney World, and even more specifically, with the Voices of Liberty. All the things that are important to me figure into this dream. If you want to dream with me . . . and see what I'm doing to get closer to it . . . read on!

  6. I am in full support of this! As someone who is still chasing a Disney dream, I definitely want to find your beautiful face in the sea of blushing sopranos and altos. Do you have singing experience or background?

  7. Wow--I have readers! ::grin:: Thanks for the nice comments! I'm so lucky to be part of some awesome online communities and to know wonderful people like you!

    @NDM_1: Yes, I've been singing since I can remember and was in high school and college choruses (including show choir--think "Glee") and was a voice major in college. I've had a few paid singing jobs (a church, a wedding) but they've been rare.
