Good Life

"Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about" - OneRepublic


I've discovered the meaning of life. Live it for yourself. Don't let the negative things people say derail your bliss. Your passion. Do you. That's it. That's all of it. This is a short post, but at least it's a post! :)

A Long December/Auld Lang Syne

A long December and there's reason to believe/Maybe this  year will be better than the last

Should auld acquaintance be forgot/and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot/for auld lang syne

Every December 31st, I listen to Counting Crows' Long December. Every January 1st, I listen to Auld Lang Syne by Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis. These songs help me reflect on the last year. The good, the bad, the ugly. This year was no exception. 2015 was filled with ups and downs, as every year is. 

I tightened my inner circle and my waist line. I reconnected with an old friend, made new friends, attended SO! MANY! WEDDINGS!, and went to Mexico. 

Owning November had a pretty good year, gigging almost monthly. We booked our first gig for 2016 in October of 2015! Not too shabby.

And, probably the most exciting thing: I got back in to theatre. I auditioned for a Miscast Cabaret, and was cast. Shortly thereafter, I auditioned for A/C Theatre Company's production of Now. Here. This. After nervously auditioning, and almost throwing up during callbacks (Again, due to nerves), I was cast in that production as well! This is the first show I've done since 2001, and couldn't be more excited to be a part of this company's inaugural season, and the Arizona premiere of this show!

All I really ask of 2016 is that it bring continued health and happiness. And for you, I hope it brings the same.
