How important is it for you to document your life?
In my most recent Life & Voice Coaching Program (Declaration: Sing What You Feel), we spent one week focusing on what it means to declare a well-documented life.
Songwriting has this incredible power to act as both a cathartic exercise and a historic journal entry, documenting a time when emotion and experience floods out of us into poetry and music.
So how can we use it to document our experience, our feelings, our opinion, in a way we can preserve?
Two of our guiding questions for the week were…
“ How important is it for me to document my life?”
and
“How can I view my creativity as an impactful and important practice?”
As we explored the topic collectively, we realized our impact isn’t centered on history for a biological ancestry, in fact, our impact is multi-faceted on future generations, depending on how we archive and share our art and music.
For example, the feminine story hasn’t always been highlighted as a core narrative in history or music composition.
And the stories of the less affluent have often been told by the affluent.
How can we tell our stories and broaden the narrative for future generations? For history?
