Today I decided to do something kind of crazy... and to be honest I feel like I'm going to be sick!
I decided to face my biggest fear and sing my little heart out to you all!
By the end of my video, I'm flustered and completely bail on trying to tell you what's going on (I thought about cutting it out but decided it was too funny and love how it makes me laugh every time I see it) so what I meant to say if you liked it, upvote, resteem and comment to see me through to the next round! <3
Full (steem) ahead! Onwards we go! "I think I can, I think I can..."
Thanks for being here with me
XO,
do what you love to do
Thanks for the inspiration @joeyarnoldvn :) I'm working on doing just that!
XO,
herat-to-heart
Good for You and I am Proud of you for doing this. Resteemed Up Voted and Followed
Aww thanks @stokjockey :) I'm so thankful for the support!
XO,
heart-to-heart
It's okay! I can't either. Beautifully sung! You have an amazing gift and the world could benefit from hearing more of it :)
<3
Thanks for your encouragement, it means the world to me! I'll keep trying :)
XO
You did great hope for the best.
Thanks @farhanali :) My goal was just to get it out there and now it is so all I can do is smile :)
I appreciate your support!
XO,
heart-to-heart
Your voice and your face are so expressive. Made me smile :) I'm slowly building the courage to share my voice, too. Thanks for sharing!
-_- (I'm blushing) Thanks @cobloc - I love this song, guess it shows =D
Don't be scared like I was- I wish our culture didn't put so much negativity on singing... it's a gift and ancient traditions encouraged its sharing. I encourage you to keep trying even if it's slightly outside of your comfort zone +) I'm rooting for you!
XO,
heart-to-heart
Thank you. This place is so welcoming and positive...
Beautiful performance! Up-Voted and Re-steemed :)
Yay! Thank you! The encouragement makes my heart sing :)
Great entry! Lovely voice, love that song! :)
Thanks so much @wishmaiden, I really appreciate the encouragement :) I love it too! <3 I really appreciate what you're doing here- I think it's a wonderful initiative! Thanks again xo
Everyday, do something that scares you. This used to be on a sign on a building opposite my workplace. Thank you for taking the courage to share something like this with the world! :)
I love it! It should be posted everywhere, shouldn't it? I think if we all crawled out of our comfort zones more, we would see a lot of changes in this world! I'm all about supporting that and encouraging people to set their fear aside and be free of it! Thanks for sharing this with me, it's lovely :)
Hope you have a great day, I really appreciate the encouragement!
XO,
heart-to-heart
Do you take requests? We want Love Me Tender.
Haha anything for you @drakos
:)
Keep doin ya thang!!! I upvoted you. It's only about a dollar.
Hey @alao thanks so much! It's the number of upvotes they care about to advance into the next round anyway and as for me, I am just happy to hear from you and know you watched it! :)
I really appreciate the support, it drives the courage :)
XO,
heart-to-heart
You have a beautiful voice, Cece. I’m glad you overcame your fear and shared that song with us. Thank you!
A pro tip for the future: when shooting a video with your smartphone, do it in landscape format, not portrait.
Thank you so much! You're making me blush! I have never videoed myself like that before and was having some pretty interesting technical difficulties trying to do this but decided to just go for it and get it up here before I got too scared to post :P I'll check the settings and see if that helps next time. Thanks for always being a bounding ray of encouragement, your support is endless and I am so filled with appreciation<3

STOPlovely sweet voice. you even nailed the "like a river flows.." part which is damn hard.
would be awesome with an acoustic instrumental/karaoke base playing underneath (plenty on youtube).
but even as an acapella really impressive
Thanks for the support @lavater it means a lot to me :) For this, because it was an entry, there was no music allowed but I would love to be able to do it again over top of some!
Thanks again for this, you brightened my day!
XO,
heart-to-heart
You are inspirational! Lovely voice and so wonderfully expressed! Good luck!
Thank you so much @dswigle :) Sorry I'm a little late on this I didn't see it come through!
💜💜💜
Not a problem! The replies do not always show up for me!!
@heart-to-heart, we are even more alike than I realized! I too am an introvert, and I have a decent voice but am terrified to use it. About a year ago, I finally got on stage in front of an audience at a showcase in Denver, and it was frightening but exhilarating! It has since taught me that facing my fears is something that I need to do more often, but it's so scary! Good for you for putting yourself out here.
Vulnerability is so authentic, and you shine through because of it. Have you read Brene Brown by chance? She speaks to this so well.
You're right on the money about us being alike because hearing Brene speak made me want to put myself out there and helped me grow into who I am now :)
I wrote a piece on being introverted when I first got here so it's funny that you mention that! I can have this very upbeat, loud personality that makes it seem like I'm extroverted or comfortable in public situations... but inside I actually really am super shy, I just never knew it until a couple of months ago! I have only just begun to put myself out there and Steemit has been a great place for me. Everyone has been so welcoming and supporting. If you challenge your fears, their power over you will fade and then you'll be that much stronger for it! That is what I am hoping to achieve through singing on here. I was so terrified that I knew I had to do it! I hope one day you'll put yourself out there and put a stop to that fear in you too- voices are such a gift, I think we should be able to fully express them and appreciate them.
I consider us friends now, I'll be connecting with you lots in the future I am positive of it!
Hope you have a great day and I am really happy we got to connect this way!
XO
I'd like to say congratulations, and good luck with accomplishing new goals, and being entered into the next contest round!
Thank you so much @originalflavor- I am hoping I get through so I can get over this fear of mine. I really appreciate your support 💜
Have a great day! :)
@heart-to-heart
I got the goosy bumps on my arms :) Very pretty. great song choice! This was a great way to start my day :) Thanks for sharing!
Aww thanks @joeyrocketfilms... I'm still feeling shaky about this whole idea of mine but gotta push through, the things we are most afraid of, grant us the most opportunity to grow so let's hope I grow a bunch for this ;)
Thank you so much for the encouragement and shares with the MSP community!
XOXO
💜💜💜
