NO MATTER WHAT!! Posted by Yvonne on 5/28/2019, 12:09 pm Hi, folks: I have been waffling with sole source over the past three months and today, I decided----enough is enough. JUST DO IT!! It's my first day back from pizza, tiramisu, cannoli and all the other decadent foods offered yesterday by my family and friends. So, my body must be in carbohydrate shock!! Anyway, I am thinking of the larger picture and that is to just get to my goal and stay there. This is the first step. Have a lovely day!!

I don't want to lie Posted by Yvonne on 5/31/2019, 5:43 pm, in reply to "NO MATTER WHAT!!" I've not been focused, Pam. Why? Because I have to sing at this big 50th Princeton reunion in the Memorial Chapel and represent my husband (in his absence). I have been so NERVOUS that I'm going to flub up and embarrass myself and my husband. A few months ago. I was asked to sing in the Memorial Service by one of his classmates. Initially, I wasn't even going to do anything because it's my husband's college, not mine. However, over the past few months, so many of his classmates have asked me to be there to represent him after his stroke. So, I relented and said, "Yes". Since that time in April, I have been practicing the song over and over again and trying not to forget the words and the intonation. You know, all that goes with performing. The reason many of his Princeton classmates wanted me to sing is because 50 years ago, our all-girl R&B band, The Thornton Sisters, was the Number #1 band on campus for over a decade. I think they just want to reminisce and remember the "good 'ol days". I'm a wreck that I will mess up and not do a good job. So, that is the reason why I am not focused right now. Tomorrow is the day!

Re: I don't want to lie Posted by Pam T on 6/4/2019, 6:42 pm, in reply to "I don't want to lie" I think this is wonderful, and I can not imagine how nervous you must be! Never having preformed in anything other then a few church plays and Drill Team, I have no point of reference to how you must be feeling, even with your vast experience. I would imagine singing solo is a whole other level. I think it is very touching that they wanted you there to represent Sherwood. Much respect for you accepting their request. I see that you've posted a video so I'm going to go watch it now.
