Strolling Along

Hi girls!

This blog is a great idea, Lillian. Thanks for the invite! I look forward to hearing how everyone is doing. For my part, I just finished my final exam for my second class in the Entertainment Business program at Full Sail. I can't believe I've already completed two months worth of classes!

And, as an added bonus, I got up in front of my classmates today and sang a really pretty indie song by a girl named Melissa Myers, backed by acoustic guitar. (My instructor supplied the acoustic renderings.) We got to do a talent show on this last day because our class performed really well on the midterm two weeks ago. It was fun to see all the different talents (mostly musical -- in fact, all of them musical) that my classmates have. I'm still pinching myself that I actually got up and performed for them! Of course I am wishing I could have done it a second time because my voice wavered and cracked on a couple of the notes. (Nerves!)

Classes have been good -- I enjoyed this second class much better than the first because the instructor was stronger and more enjoyable to learn from. And this month I got to know my classmates even better than before. We are a small group -- only 9 of us -- and we'll be together for the next year, so we should get to be like brothers and sisters by the end, having spent so much time together.

I shared with Deb Moss yesterday that things are still progressing well on my business plan, though have taken a slight detour. I've changed things up a bit by deciding to start with real-world small groups instead of launching immediately into the online environment. I'm gathering participants for the first small group now and hope to officially start that group by mid-September. If you know any girls/women you think would be interested in joining a small personal development group (5-6 people) centered around the theme of story, feel free to let me know.

Kirk and I are on our way out for the evening, celebrating the end of both our classes. Look forward to hearing how everyone else is doing!

It's great that we can chat like this. How exciting to hear about all that God is doing in your life. As for the singing, I say, "you go, Girl!" Good for you.
