Lindsey Stirling - Goal #4 completed




I came across Lindsey Stirling on YouTube towards the beginning of her career. She was so different from other musicians, and it was mesmerizing to watch her play her violin and dance. I enjoyed her music quite a bit. In 2015, she was performing in Rexburg, which was near us, but it was the day before our daughter was due. I wanted to go see her, but the day before the due date felt a little too risky to buy tickets. 

I figured we would go see her sometime. I would see her touring near us a few times, and it just didn't seem like we had the money to go, or whatever excuses I gave. I'm learning that even though I want to do something a lot, there is still some resistance inside of me to actually do it. I have anxiety, and I know that to some degree, that does hold me back, but there's this part of me that says someday I'll try that, and it is enough for my brain to know that I think I'll do it someday.

The problem is that someday keeps being someday. It's hard to turn someday into today when you keep using the excuse of someday. It sounds silly, but it's just how it goes for me sometimes. I have ideas I like, and then add 'someday' to that idea. I still have a good idea, but it gets lost in someday land. Maybe, someday land is next to regret land. I'm not totally sure. They just sound like they go together.

Anyways, I made one of my 40 goals to see Lindsey Stirling in concert. I wanted that wish out of someday land and finally do it. I was done thinking that it would be fun and ready to make it happen. We took the kids with us to Boise to watch Lindsey's concert, and it was one of the funnest concerts we have been to. We all loved it! I wasn't sure what the kids would think of her, but they loved the concert a lot. Lindsey does spectacular concerts. She knows how to put on a good show.

Walk Off the Earth toured with her, and we enjoyed that a lot too. A year ago, Lindsey did a show in Idaho Falls, and we again went to her concert. She was touring with Saint Motel, who we also like a lot, and we went to watch it. It was a new concert, but just as good as before. We are fans of Lindsey and her ability to share her light with everyone. It was a concert worth going to. I'm glad I finally did it.
