WITH A SONG IN HER HEART
Posted by Jeannie Fennell on November 17, 2010 · 2 Comments
Meet Cindy Thomson, a woman who reclaimed her dream and inspires us to remember that is never too late to spread some joy.
Cindy has just recorded her first CD & on 11/14 she is having a CD release party party with the live band who recorded with her. It will be a great way to applaud her and her dream. (See info in sidebar). We hear that Tommy Tomlinson columnist for the Charlotte Observer will be there to write a story about her journey.
She did what she had to do.
Like many single moms, Cindy did what she had to do to support her two kids. She went back to college to finish her degree in accounting, rather than one in music, as she really wanted. . She sang when she could but never felt that she could pursue a music career. Her dream was put up and put off. But dreams are persistent & she finally got her chance and took it.
Now was the time…Music was calling.
She was laided off last year and tried to get another accounting job but music kept calling her. As a boomer and grandmother, she realized that if she was ever going to do it, now was the time. She felt that she needed to do this for herself and others like her who had had to put their dreams aside.
“With some coaching & family support, I finally began to believe that I deserved to do what I really wanted to do. I have never been so happy”.
And as often happens when we take a risk, many unexpected sources of support …like the Grammy nominated musicians, an outstanding producer and the superb sound studio…came to assist her. Her mother’s lovely artwork is on the CD cover.And so she created a CD.
THE SWEET THINGS IN LIFE CD is full of uplifting music and old favorites because Cindy feels we all need a lift these days. These songs have been a good reminder of hope for many year
And so in sharing the song that has always been in her heart, Cindy has put a song in our lives. And what a sweet thing that is.
