So… my chosen theme for 2025 to focus on for my personal development and healing, is… Articulation. My mother taught me the importance of this, when I was in my teens and started singing in choirs, as well as for pronunciation when I talk. But, since I had braces for many years growing up, I wanted to hide my mouth and never really did articulate well. Similarly, during 2008-10, 2013-15 and 2020-2024, I haven’t been able to speak properly, besides eating, because of my teeth. Now, finally, and thanks to a grant, I have received dental implants both for my upper jar and my lower jar, and what better then, to focus on articulating better?!
Articulate, is to use our mouth deliberately and more consciously, to become better understood, and for songs to become better heard, as well as when giving talks of course. I love doing that, and held a couple really good ones 2002-04, but haven’t been able to since. So, this is something I look forward to taking up again!
I've started practicing a little, on my Threads, that you can listen to here.
