Now that things have calmed down a bit more, I’ve discovered that trying to get back into MP’s are harder than I thought (but they’ve been a struggle for me the last couple of rounds that we’ve had through the book.) I actually didn’t do *any* this week, but intend to rectify that!



I am doing this because I know I can achieve more that I have been in my performing career, and I really feel this is the career where God wants me to be. It’s performing where I feel the most like me - not teaching music in the public schools, which is where I was before leaving to get an MM in vocal performance due to the suggestion of a wonderfully supportive voice teacher. However, I can be the worst critic for myself and tend not to believe that I *can* do this career, despite the best support from some wonderful people in the business. The Artist’s Way was suggested by my current teacher.



Artist’s Date: we did our outreach show for an Arts Festival supported by a local church (their gift to the community). It’s a juried visual arts show with free performing arts concerts - all local artists. I went early and used the time to wander through the exhibits, which was a nice, peaceful time. No major breakthroughs, but it was a wonderful time to breathe and relax before a performance.



Synchronicity: probably the Artist’s Date. I wasn’t supposed to be the one performing my role at that performance, so I wouldn’t have been at the art show. All in all, it worked out well, and I have extra paycheck coming in.

1. continue AW and FlyLady - special focus on morning pages!
