What does this photo have to do with stage fright or spaghetti? Why, nothing. Nothing at all. But the kids captured our cat Spice (another “s” word) comfy in the still-not-put-away Easter basket and thought it worthy of a picture and some blog time.
Aha! Here’s the spaghetti. It was the main dish for my friend Vicky’s benefit dinner, which happened Sunday afternoon. I enjoyed my time at the benefit supporting Vicky, but she looks so amazing right now, so bright and spirited, that I had to remind myself why I was there. I know Vicky would not turn down a single prayer, so please join me in sending one up for her today in the hopes God will pour out His graces as she fights stage 4 cancer. You can follow Vicky’s journey at The Westra World.
And finally, stage fright. Let’s just say you’ll be able to identify my son. He’s the one who isn’t happy and he knows it and his face doth surely show it. You win some, you lose some, right? (I do apologize for the shaky camera work; I was a bit caught by his stilted performance and trying to decide whether I should even keep the camera rolling or not.)
Have a cheerful week!
Q4U: Have you ever gotten stage fright? How did you overcome it?
Oh, Little Guy, that must have been awful to stand there and not want to be. I get stage fright every time I perform. I even still fell sick-ish when I play for church, and I’ve been playing for church for 30 years!
I’m connected with Vicky, now. She does look terrific. It’s hard to understand why someone so young, with precious young children, has this life-threatening disease.
Mary, I wasn’t sure if I should giggle or cry. A conflicting moment for this mama. But I’m told we’ll appreciate this story someday, so I’ll try to believe that. Nick is definitely made for the stage, but it was just too overwhelming that day, apparently. He missed his calling that day, but I’m sure he’ll find it again. 🙂
I guess it’s just normal that one feel some nerve when it comes to playing to an audience but with continuous performance one grow in confidence and maturity and excels smoothly there of.Hope you good and wishing u all the best.Meanwhile plz do pass by my blogs page read,follow and comment to aid me improve my works too.Thank you.Lovely day.

Oh Roxane! That is just classic! He is utterly adorable in his complete lack of enthusiasm for singing along! My favorite part is where I hear you start to chuckle… I know that chuckle so well, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry 🙂
So, so good of you to come this weekend! Thank you for coming and your sweet written words to me were such a joyful delight to see! I too am so glad our paths have crossed and our friendship can continue to blossom and grow! Blessings on your week!
