The Beginning of Year 26







As usual it's been so long since I've blogged I almost can't remember. So I turned 26 almost two weeks ago and have been contemplating where I am in my life and amazingly enough, I'm content. I like who I am and I'm confident in myself and my abilities. Stressing out is pointless and so I find myself doing less of that than ever before. I feel like I can handle whatever the world chooses to throw in my direction. I'm currently dating someone, but I feel like that if I were to be single, that would be okay too.

When it comes to work, I'm currently in audition mode. I've had what I've felt to be 3 very strong auditions and not made callbacks for 2. However, I auditioned for my first non-musical show since high school and was called back for that...woo hoo! I'm so glad that I can trust in the Lord and know that he'll provide me with the opportunities that will benefit me and help me grow. It really takes the sting out of rejection.

I am still in a children's production of Sleeping Beauty that performs on Saturday mornings and occasionally during the week for school field trips. No, it's not the Disney story, but it's fun nonetheless. I play Sunbeam, one of the 4 good fairies. Basically, I'm the ditsy cheerleader from the Valley type (big stretch I know). I love performing for kids and it appears the feeling is mutual. Not to toot my own horn, but I keep hearing that I am the favorite fairy. My director has a 3 year old son who likes "yellow" the best and is wondering when his mom gets to be the yellow fairy. So basically I get to go run around the stage acting like a fool wearing false eyelashes that any drag queen would approve of , and come home covered with glitter that sticks around for several days.
