After my guitar lesson, I came home and Mark asked me how it went. I showed him what I learned… drum roll pleeeeaaaassseee… D chord!
Oh, and my ‘drills’… I picked along for about five minutes before his connected mind started talking about cowbells.
Amidst visions of Elsie the Cow, he starts telling me about Saturday Night Live and Will Ferrell (who ALSO shares a birthday with me), and Christopher Walken.
Honestly, I started tuning out a bit (out in guitar ethers)… and then when I came back I was like… oh yes, what was that about cowbell?
He showed me this… and it is HILARIOUS… and now I get it – why he might have been reminded of cowbell by my pluck pluck pluck-ing away!
You decide. 
For some reason, I can’t embed this video…but it is so funny… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mie9hhQTUM.
And, no, I didn’t pick my gee-tar with my belly hanging out! LOL
Looking for a Dream Life:
What’s your heart saying to you? You know, the whisper in your heart…what’s singing to you? What’s calling you to you?
Wednesday morning as I worked on a client project, a guitar came to my mind. I thought of the guitar and immediately emailed a client to ask about guitar lessons (as I can’t remember how to play anymore). What’s a guitar without knowing how to play?
I also asked about vocal lessons. Last year, when I spoke at Indigo Nation, I felt pulled to talk to a woman who worked as a vocal coach, but I didn’t follow through.
A few months later, the Messengers began singing during the sessions.
I found that if I relaxed, the sounds would move through me much like wind through a flute. If I became tense, it could be scary … sounding.
So, I went to see a friend for lunch… and then back for group coaching, where I got to talk with my friend… client… about the guitar. I told her I didn’t know what it was for…WHEN would I play it? I wondered.
That evening, I met with two new clients and bingo… guitars came up again. Apparently this new client LOVES guitars. I could feel a palpable electric energy moving through the conversation as we talked about his love of guitars.
I found myself wondering if I might be able to do this after all… he has more children and more business interests than I do. If he has time… why not me?
The next day, I worked away on another project, and in the other room (Mark’s office) I heard this very tinny, irritating (to me) sound (Mark later said his speakers are not that great on his computer). It sounded like a thumping, grating sound… oooooooh. It turned out to be a video Mark watched on YouTube. A video called United Broke My Taylor Guitar. Coincidence… you decide.
I got the message. Loud and clear.
The following day (this past Friday), I woke up with this idea to play guitar and sing at our group coaching workshop (we meet once a month). I emailed my friend to bring her guitar…which she did, even though we didn’t sing and play, the intention was set.
Oh, and about a month ago, a movie from a year ago came to mind… The Guitar… an independent film about a woman following her heart. Wow.
What is your heart saying to you?
