True Love After 40

I am fascinated by the life and work of Florence Foster Jenkins, "(July 19, 1868 – November 26, 1944) an American soprano who became famous for her complete lack of rhythm, pitch, tone, and overall singing ability." 

She was a woman who had an unflappable belief in her ability to sing opera despite the fact that she had  many critics and the people who came to her concerts laughed at her.  Her music, in my opinion, is truly awful, but that is not the point.  The point is that she believed in herself.  She sang because she felt she should.  She had something to contribute and she didn't let criticism stop her.

Of course, we could decide she was simply delusional.  Maybe she was.  It doesn't matter.  Here's my question to you: what could you accomplish in your life if you had half the confidence Florence Foster Jenkins had?

Now, what's stopping you?  If she could be a success with nomusical skill, what can you do with your creative mind and talents?  Go for it!
