Great Show Saturday Night

I just wanted to give an update. It was a wonderful show Saturday night. There was so much talent and fun! It felt like everyone had a great time and the Silent Auction was a big success too! I enjoyed myself tremendously and had no problem with the words when I got up on stage! I was a little nervous and then once the performance got started, I was home. I found peace and a new love as I settled in to it. It felt so amazing to create something within myself, have it go through several stages of transformation, and then shine through me up on stage. Life is powerful and I plan to keep reaching for more! I know this is the beginning of an incredible vision and journey and I am excited! Thank you for travelling with me! Thank you again to http://www.angelicstrings.com/ for your music and sharing your creative selves with me on stage. It was quite an experience! I appreciate all those that came out and the positive feedback! Thank you! Let's see what we can create now...with love and joy!

Mentally Getting Ready for the Variety Show

I have been writing and rehearsing for the past couple of weeks to get ready for the Variety Show this Saturday. I am only performing three poems at this point with my friends, Angelic Strings, but in my heart it feels much bigger than a 10-minute performance. I usually am more comfortable doing things behind the scenes, but I am discovering that when I am creating, I love to share my talents with the world! Creating and sharing are easy, but it's the nervousness in my stomach I am trying to smooth out. I am a Virgo, so practicing, practicing, and more practicing is the solution. My mind believes in order and control by creating a habit of knowing the words inside and out. It is a method to fall back on, a way to go into auto-pilot in case I can't see the words in my head while up on stage. My hope is that the mouth will still keep spilling out the poetry in some form of beautiful design, even if my mind goes blank. Actually, my real hope is that I will get into the zone of the poems themselves and feel them come to life as I am up on stage. When I wrote them, they had a life of their own and performing expresses that life in a different way than on paper. I really enjoy creating with words and music as my inner artist comes alive! I'll let you know how it goes!
