Hey Hon!

Thats FABOLOUS(?) Jaclyn!! I'm so thrilled for you its amazing to hear that you are being FEARLESS!! I'm attempting as well. I actually had one of my fearless moments aound about a month ago.

It was actually surrounding my daddy!When I was younger, we used to go on outtings to my grandpa Tom lodge for events like Christmas and Easter and stuff. Well, this x-mas it just happen to be a family reunion.. so my WHOLE family. And at this point, my mom and dad are divorced..... well anyway, so the whole dad's gang was there and we were all enjoying just being around each other.

Well, so then a few years... ALOT YEARS GO BY. I'm sitting here in my apartment reading blogs and thinking about Danielle and how I wanna know her. So I come across Christie's blog... about proforming a nice gesture  so I deceided to suck it up and call daddy.

So, I do... which ROCKS!! So we talk for awahile around the usual and then I find a way to gather up all I have within me and ask about Danille. He then asked me whats wrong. To which I was like... daddy why didn't we ever know about her?

Because proir this is, I was visiting his family and went to visit my step mom and brother and sister. She then proceeds to tell me and show me pictures of a baby girl named Danielle!! Then beyond that, told me that my dad kept it a secret from me and my sister( not the one I visited).

Well so then daddy and I talked some more... and he goes, but you knew about her. Okay, I nearly dropped the phone. I was like  what?  He goes... you knew. Okay tears glor.

So... it gets better it you can iminage. We start talkin' about the reunion at the lodge and stuff. He asked me... Do you remember the lodge and the reunion. I'm like.. yea. Do you remember all those people? I again said yea.

Then I gater up my guts again... and ask him the question I've been dreadin' AWAHILE for fear that he'd hate or disown me or whatever. I sad... and dad what about the baby?

I thought all along it was my cousin. He then said... but, baby you held her. I'm like what! He repeated it.

I thought I was holding my cousin.... I was holding... my... SISTER!!! :-) I was holding Danielle!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and Danille and I didn't even know it.

So yea... now a few months later I'm still in the clounds!! :-) And I thank so much Starting Over, Rhonda and everybody that came through those WONDERFUL doors for helping make it happen! Because of you all, I am no longer angry at my father... and found out the BEST thing EVER!   I held DANIELLE!! :-)

Thank you everybody!! :-)

Um yah - I can officially say that I was front and center and was amazed!  Monica and I both almost started crying it was soo good.  At least you know that I will be your number 1 fan and try to come cheer you on every week! 

Here is documentation of you being fearless!

There I am! :)

That is Great! I totally know what you mean about fear and music. Music and singing karaoke is one of my favorite things to do although I don't do it that much. I have my own karaoke machine at home, but I would rather go out in the public as it sounds better and I enjoy having people listen to me. My dream was always to become a Country singer but I have stage frieght really bad. When I get up to sing, I always sing slow songs and barely move, stage frieght. I hope one day to get enough courage like you and just let loose and get that fear of stage frieght out of me.

Keep up the good work, singing is beautiful!
