Taking Control

In life, there isn't enough time to let things pass by. You can't assume that things will turn out your way if you just sit there and let things happen to you. MY Monday Motivation (thanks Jaime) is taking control. I AM TAKING CONTROL.

No more letting life pass by and leaving things unsaid and undone. I'm taking control of me and my life. Love ferociously, live life without regret, take life by the horns.

It's going to be a great ride ...

Gain/Loss

Well it's been an ... interesting week or so since my last post. I didn't think it was possible for so much to happen in that span of time. Much of it is internal but it's a lot. I've taught myself some lessons, taught myself restraint, and most importantly, taught myself that I am worth it. That's a big lesson for me to learn. (Although, I admit I haven't learned it completely) I was sent for kind of a spin and just when I stabilized myself, I was spun around again in the opposite direction. I am so grateful to have had a great friend there to give me a shoulder and an ear. I hope I never have to rehash that again. It's like gain and loss (and I don't mean the weight kind). Sometimes you go through something and you think you've gained in your life, but you've really lost, and vice versa. Tread carefully and really examine.


Onto other things, Making It On Broadway for the summer is over and it was an amazing week filled with amazing students, teachers and guest artists. I learned a lot about my passion for performing and have made the decision to never give it up. I really did some soul searching about it and I think i have a really positive outlook now. One of my best friends in the world moved to New York and is now ... right there, which is needless to say, amazing. I couldn't be happier about that.

I've enrolled myself in a musical theatre class to continue to hone in on my craft and I'm busying myself with all things POSITIVE. I have to just be thankful at this moment for some things. Namely, my husband and my son. I get the most joy in my life from them. It is the most amazing thing to watch my son grow every day and learn new things, communicate, run, laugh, sing, dance and everything else under the sun that he does. He is just the best. I'm thankful every day that I was given an amazing husband and together we have an equally amazing child. I am onto bigger and better things in life and I know the future is bright.

Don't know what else to update at the moment but the seas have calmed ... for now.

Honesty

It really is the best policy. It's also one of the scariest things a person can be. Honest. Sometimes honesty is hurtful, sometimes its joyful, sometimes it causes pain, sometimes it causes bliss, sometimes it gives closure, sometimes it leaves a door wide open and questions unanswered, sometimes it makes you realize you were a fool, sometimes you realize you were a genius, sometimes it makes you know you were right, and sometimes it proves you were dead wrong. Be as honest as you can be in life because you never know what it can bring to your life.
