Ok. I think I have the comments feature fixed. On to my Artist's Way checkin! I'm getting back to business!


Progress for the week: I reworked the web site quite a bit. Took off the blog and the link to the personal page on the advice of a friend whose opinion I respect. I still may put them in the Links page as a compromise. Need to mull that one over. Good musical work this week, even with the extra duties I had filling in for the vacant teaching position. I love the strength my voice is gaining. The lesson felt pretty good today too, as I already stated.


Synchronicity: First, subbing in Spanish and finding out that the FUUS concert for the season is all Spanish music/Spanish based music. Ok, I'll keep working on this one too! Second, finding out that the district allows substitute teachers to buy in to the health insurance plan and then getting the sort-of-long-term sub job. Ok, it was only a week and a half, but the paycheck will more than cover the first payment. Needless to say, I'm calling the doctor, the chiropractor, etc to get all the appointments I've been putting off - and off, and off..........


Morning Pages: As I'm just starting back up with Artist's Way, none for the week. My goal is for 5/7. I know how I am when I'm starting back up. It won't be perfect at first.


My own addition to the AW program: DQT. I know - the MPs sort of work in here, but I want to include my DQT (Bible study) as part of my personal improvement program. This will be 7/7 at the end of the week.


Artist's Date: Again, I'm just starting back up, but I think I just found some more synchronicity. My mom just handed me a duplicate family membership card for the local nature center (and window sticker, but that's not important.) Interesting that it was right as I was thinking about what to do for this week's Artist Date.......... Hmm. Maybe God is trying to tell me something?


Walking: (from the Walking in the World book): Pretty good. I started a walking program this summer. I'm walking at least 5,000 steps per day. If I do once in the am and once at night, I should be able to get in the 10,000 steps for weight loss for my cardio. One will be a breathwalk. 6/7 at least. Probably 7/7.


Goals:

Acting: Work on one monologue this week. Do acting exercises.

Cleaning: Work on FlyBaby steps. Focus on decluttering bedroom for my own personal mission for the week.

Voice: Get Impresario fully in the voice. Put role on index cards. Keep working on aria package. Have O luce di quest' and Manon Gavotte ready to go for Barbara next week.

Dance: Ballet barre every day.

Physical/Weight: try Windsor Pilates weight loss (do the video every day). Keep up the yoga for the breath. Don't eat after 8 pm.
