Sing Day

August 28, 2020
5 min read

I want to let you in on a secret -- Sometimes I take a mental health day. I'm self-employed so I don't have to call out but I like to send myself an email.

Dear Boss, I am taking a Sing day today. I plan to return on Monday but who knows. Best, Gina

So today I am off. I am having a voice lesson instead of giving one and may just sing through Carmen to remind myself I can.

What gives you joy today? Go do more of that.
