Have a Spine Tingling Moment Everyday!

So I wanted to take a minute to talk about some other awesome things going on in my life. From those that know me, you know that I’m a pretty active person, In that I always have what I still call extracurricular activities going on. In elementary and high school it was dance, music, theater, sports, mathletes, and student government. In college it was my sorority Alpha Chi Omega. Post college I got heavily involved with local politics in my area, joining the El Dorado County Democratic Central Committee and being one of the founding members of The El Dorado County Young Democrats. Politics is one of my passions and I love being involved, but lately I’ve been missing all of the musical things I use to do.

So a while back I decided to join a choir, I think was partly inspired by Glee. I researched online about local choirs and decided to check out the Sacramento Valley Chorus. Sac Valley Chorus is an all-women’s competing barbershop chorus and last night I officially became a member! Sac Valley Chorus is a wonderful group of diverse women of all ages, who are very serious about their music, and are all super supportive of each other. It’s almost like a choir/sorority.

Now to explain the title of this post, my high school choir director Mr. Zinn use to have this motto “Have a Spine Tingling Moment Everyday”.  Sometime when you sing harmony with group and you hit that sweet spot, you can get goosebumps or a shiver up the spine. It’s an awesome feeling, and I realized that this motto as corny as it is applies to more than just singing. It’s about finding a perfect moment in each day; whether it’s an awesome hug from someone you love, deciding to hit the gym instead of watching TV, or a perfect bite of a delicious meal. I know I will have a spine tingling every Wednesday at choir rehearsal, now I just need to find them every day!
