Having always wanted to sing and been told to stop howling whenever the radio was on I stopped howling and just yearned to sing instead. Thanks to Thursday mornings I was finally able to let it all out and sing. The freedom to express my voice has been the most wonderful gift from this fabulous group of people. After only 10 months with the group for first time in my life I was able to sing Christmas carols with joy, confidence and a great big smile.

Hey Pat! I am jealous. Maybe I should go and look for a choir. Shirley…Melbourne, Australia.

The growth of the singing-for-the-love-of-it-movement seems to have taken hold on Vancouver Island! Finding my 'own voice' and hearing harmonies surrounding me at these gatherings, is a source of all-absorbing JOY! Julia – so glad you could join us on our 'Singing Island' — your article is helping to fill the planet with harmony!

I joined this group of singers 6 six years ago. At that time I sang Tuesday evening until a morning group was formed on Thursday mornings. So I joined the Thursday morning singers. The singing helped me with cabin fever, the blues and to be with wonderful people like Shirley and Cindi. This wonderful group of singers helped me with a rough chapter in my live. They would sing every Thusdays while I was down in Victoria on Vancouver Island having radiation treatment. They would visualize me in the middle of the circle and sing “I am here, here in my body”. The vibration assisted me on the road to wellness. I go every Thursday morning. There maybe the odd time when I can’t be there but the following Thursday I am back to sing my heart out. I have special bonds with many of the singers in the group. I come home happy, refreshed and at peace with everything.

I have sung with the Thursday group since inception and it is manna for the soul. Thursday is now my favourite day of the week and I encourage everybody out there to sing up a storm while you do the dishes, the gardening, sit at a traffic light or just walking down the street – everyone smiles back at you and those dendrites in your brain are just a dancing.

Hahaha; sounds like such fun! My daughter used to be a tough girl to wake up as a teenager (not unique you say?). She's grown up now, but when she comes over, I play "Feeling Good" by any one of Muse, Nina Simone, Adam Lambert or Micheal Buble. It makes her smile as she rises and we play it again and both sing along at the top of our lungs.
