Can't believe it was over 3 years ago I auditioned for American Idol. Before I turned 25, I made a list similiar to my 40x40 list. On it was to try out for American Idol. Well I accomplished my goal to try out, but aside from that I pretty much looked ridiculous! :) I only picked which song I was going sing a day or two ahead of time. The song I picked was not a song I knew all that well. So it's no surprise that when I finally arrived in front of the judges (the 1st round you actually audition in front of a production crew, not who you see on tv) after seeing thousands ahead of me fail and a few go through, I drew a complete and embarassing blank! HOWEVER, although I was completely horrified at the moment, I wasn't knocked down. I realized I completed my goal-- to try-out! It wasn't a failure after all! SUCCESS!!! Of course, if I ever DO want to make an album, I should get better in front of crowds. :)
Amen to it being a success!!! You inspire me every day with your devotion to living your life.
ReplyDeleteYou're a crack up! And I love that you share it with us. :-) Sometimes it's truly about the journey -not the final destination.
ReplyDeleteHey Becky! Just stumbled across your blog and got really excited... I'd forgotten it was you who'd inspired me to do a 25x25 list a few years ago! I totally remember your list and the American Idol tryout goal. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm finishing up my list (25steps.wordpress.com)in a couple months, and then I plan to launch a 30x30. Maybe we can help encourage each other!
