New WL

New WL,

You $#%!. Big time.

Letting your sister use your email account to convey her feelings for the songs you have chosen,
shows how much you are not in control of anything.
Anyone who wasn't at practice that day might have thought SHE chose the songs, not you!
I'm flabbergasted at the abuse of your own email.
But misleading us into thinking those words was first coming from you is just so much worse.

We don't want to read about her feelings, we want to hear yours.
What are you trying to convey to the people?
What do you want to bring to them?
There's just no respect or value coming from your sister instead of you.
Who's WL-ing here? You or her?

Sure, you love it that she harmonize with your voice better than anyone else.
But is that so freaking important above everything else?
You should know better than to have 5 songs when we have freaking been doing 3 or 4 songs all these while. Do you have a single sense of time?

Did it ever occur to you that you not taking lead and LEAD us into starting practice just shows how little leadership ability you have?
Delaying us by just standing there doing nothing for 30minutes is a no-no!
What on earth were you waiting for? Trumpets announcing our readiness?
Everyone was ready. Everyone was there.

By now you should have known that sound checks only takes 15 minutes at most.
Use your eyes and ears!
You can't expect us to each come up to you and tell you we are ready.
You're the leader for goodness sake. Be bold and initiate!

Be clear. Be precise on what you want. Stop letting us overwhelm you.
You should know by now that chord disagreements are a common thing at every practice.
Listen to suggestions but be a leader for goodness sake and make the decisions.
Sort us out. Not let us sort you out!

You are not just leading the people, you have to lead those behind you too.
Be prepared with the musical arrangements.
Listening to freaking blur mp3s aren't going to help us get a feel of the dynamics you want.
And videos online that are done by solo people aren't a help at all because you are leading a team!

With your lack of leadership and musical consciousness, you have to be so bloody thankful you had a strong stand-alone team backing you up that day. It's not always going to be this way! You can't just be Spirit-driven, insisting on having your type of songs, yet just not there with the rest of the team! Start getting your act together, and show us you are a leader!!!!!

It's Friday!

Screw the pain, I'm baking again.

A cake mixer is nowhere in sight.
Where's the brother that promised me a present when I need it?
Cakes will have to wait a little while longer.
In the meantime, it's cookie time.
Which was a good thing, because I melted the butter too fast too furious that it wouldn't mix properly with the sugar. Thankfully a bit more cold butter saved the whole thing.
Sure, I did most of the mixing and ball forming with my left hand.
I'm not that stupid.

What depths of risk will I take and what will I not?
Is it dependent on my own likes and dislikes? Absolutely.
So, don't mess about with me.

There's a peace I'm learning to trust again,
A hope born where fear has left.
I can see the light now,
And I hope it stays.

"Take no offence. Let reconstruction take place now."

1 more month to go.

Fear and pain can both stuff themselves somewhere.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind"
2 Timothy 1:7

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
1 John 4:18
