Why do I do this?

Well turns out I'm not a very good blogger when life gets crazy and let me tell you it has been crazy as of late. My world has pretty much turned upside down- well maybe not a full 180 but I'd say things have shifted a bit. Mainly just day to day life and things at my house...but lets focus on something positive right now. My show. I say my show but it really isn't my show...I'm only on sage for probably about 3 1/2 minutes but I will still refer to it as my show. As I mentioned before I am in Scera's Night of Broadway and I am having one of the best experiences of my life. I am singing "I can't say No" from Oklahoma-which is not a beautiful song but it is really fun. I also have several friends in the show with me-and I've made a few new friends along the way. It is a little hectic. I come straight from work, get in costume, help my friends with hair and make up and don't get home until about 10:30. So its a long day but I do love it.

And why do I love it? Why do I constantly put myself through this kind of craziness until I'm so tired I want to collapse? I'll tell you why...
Its things like this. This is my sweet tape mark from where the mic tape holds my mic on my face. I get to rock this every night. I simply pull the pony tails out and wear my hair down to cover it for the finale. Once its there- there is no fixing it. Besides the random things that happen I love singing. I love to be on stage- I love to bring a little excitement to others lives. I also love being part of something bigger than myself. I love the rush you get waiting for your turn. I love knowing that I am conquering my fears one performance at a time. I love the conversations I have in the dressing rooms. I love meeting new people. I love learning from others and their experiences. I love to know that I'm growing in new ways. I love to know I am accomplishing my goals. I love to watch other people sharing their talents and growing. I love seeing my friends and family that come to support me. I love the experience I am gaining and I love knowing that someday I won't grow old with a list of regrets for the things I was too afraid to try.
