Just gave the world the low down on me.  It's not terribly exciting but it's working!

Working is exciting, be excited!!!  You are doing amazing - really!  Why do we forget where we came from?

I've been BooHooing about not being in my size 6 or 8 Calvin's!  Crying about what I have lost with my gain.  So what, big deal I am wearing a size 12 jeans today - they are not an 18/20!  You know, we can be where we are and it may not be where we want to be but we can make the absolute best of it. 

My vocal coach used to say the worse you feel, the more make-up you put on!  She was serious.  The show must go on even if you feel ill, even if you are not ready.  If an artist is lucky enough to get a gig, you have to play it - it is precious just like our lives.  We get the chance to live and we should live it.

Be excited!  Expect more!  Keep your arms opened wide enough to hold what you allow yourself to dream of.

Well done my friend, well done!

Best,
Leila

Okay, I replied, just hope I don't get negative responses to my experience.  I just want everyone to get healthier and I don't want to participate in WLS debates.  For me, I'm happy with my band.

I posted mine. Don't know if u put a link to it on the other forums as well but u might want to since so many bandsters have revised to better, more effective WLS's. That way they would have the opportunity to share their band experiences as well.
