I picked up my guitar back at home over the Christmas break…and got so mad about not being able to play it that i didn’t even want to look at the guitar again. When i was finally willing to TRY again…one of the strings broke…This one definitely won’t come easy :(

How I did it: Not a big story--a local artist performed in September, which was when I first "met" him. Now this amazing, humble, talented musician came to Provo, UT to perform right before Christmas, and I was able to TRULY meet him! I loved it, it was fabulous and worth EVERY MOMENT of waiting for it to happen!!! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I have no true details on HOW I accomplished this--I just know I HAVE. I've finally let go and *I* am back, and i'm FREE from that depression it gave me!!!!! I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders--I can LIVE again!!!! :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found salons around where I lived that were participating--most places will give you a free hair cut of your choice afterwards! I let my hair grow for two years without dying it (which is hard for me!!). When it was halfway down to my elbow, I went to a spa. After taking of a ponytail of 10 inches, and my hair wasn't all gone, i STILL had long hair! Remember that! You're not giving up all of your hair by doing this! Read how I did it…

At Christmas, I found a lot of my old piano music. I played some songs just for my own enjoyment…and worked on until I could play a few of the harder songs I used to be able to play. I’m so excited about this!
