The End Is Nigh!

As I begin my last day posting here I wanted to give you a heads up on a couple of things as I begin to say goodbye to Tiny.

Fearless Karaoke

Are you ready to show the world how fearless you can be? With your voice?
Ways this could work.
You could stand on a busy station at rush hour and belt out a few tunes with nothing but an upturned hat on the ground and a scribbled list of songs.
If that’s too much, what about singing karaoke? [...]

What The World Cup Can Teach You About Singing Away Your Fear

It was just after 4am. Hubby and I turned on the football to hear what sounds like the biggest, angriest bee hive in the universe.
Hubby had his Italian head on, wherein he reverts to his Neapolitan genetic heritage like a true Mamma’s boy and starts shouting “Viva, Italia!” and “My son, he will play football!” [...]

Me and My Shadow

Have you ever caught yourself projecting? I mean, when you notice that you’re actively judging someone for something that you should really be working on yourself?
Like criticising your parents for hoarding and never being able to just let go of things. Despite the fact that every drawer of your desk is filled with clippings and [...]

Can We Stop Talking About Stuck, Please?

As some of you may have noticed, stuck is the word of the year so far.
Look, there’s Stuck on the red carpet! And on the cover of Help! magazine. Here’s a a really dodgy picture of a topless Stuck smooching with someone on a beach. (In fact, there’s probably someone feeling Stuck right now.)
Yes, indeed. [...]

“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.” ~ Robert Fritz.
“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” – J.K. Rowling

I read a tweet first thing today that went [...]

Probably The Most Valuable Piece Of Advice I Have Ever Received

Thumbnail image for Probably The Most Valuable Piece Of Advice I Have Ever Received

I had the privilege when I was 20 years old of learning from the stupendous Dame Joan Sutherland. She was a vocal titan, but in person remarkably grounded in an earthy, no nonsense Australian diva kind of way.
I would start to sing a phrase and she would interject with probably the most valuable piece of [...]

Why You Need A Strategy And A Perfect Chocolate Biscuit

Lately, I’ve been trying to lose weight.
Mainly because one of the blissful side-effects of babydom is a little extra padding – like everywhere.
Five months has passed since baby was born (five months! Where did that go???) and I’m bloody bored of wearing the same three slouchy t-shirts and my lifesaving spotty wrap dress. (I swear [...]

The Success Is In The Snowballs

We’ve all had them. A big, chewy, hole-in-the-stomach failure. The kind of screw-up that you can only successfully make in front of everyone.
When you have just so completely gotten it wrong that when the thought of it creeps into your head (usually just before you go to sleep) it’s like an [...]

A Singing Video Post!

So. For the very first time on this blog, I am finally posting a video of me singing!

Part of me totally wants to share this with you. My blog is, after all, called The Tiny Soprano for a [...]
