The biggest, small dream I have ever had!

Well so far I have only really talked about obstacles I am attempting to overcome, so I think it's time to talk about one of my hopes and dreams. One of my biggest small dreams (like it's one of my smaller dreams I have but the biggest one out of those smaller dreams...if that makes any sense!) that I have had for years is to be able to record. Even if it's just semi-professional or some random friend of mine's recording studio, I need to record someday.

Singing is my passion. Singing is what I have been doing my entire life and if anything ever happened to cause me to lose my voice or not be able to sing anymore, I think I would become comatose. Just a shadow of a person walking around. My voice is a huge part of my identity. Music is what helped me get into theatre. And now I'm majoring in Musical Theatre because of it.

Back to recording... I just want to be able to say that I have recorded. I want to be able to experience the entire process of recording in a studio and editing. I see random videos of people in recording studios with just themselves and a little room and being able to sing anything their heart feels like pouring out, and I get very close to trembling with envy! I want to wear those headphones and sing into those microphones.

The ability of a singer to be able to sing their souls inner feelings is absolutely magical and to be able to capture that with such high quality equipment and talent is just so amazing to me! I want to be able to say that I did it. I recorded. I don't want to be famous, I don't want to make CD's and sell them, I'm not good enough for that. I just want the opportunity and experience of being in a recording studio and having people do everything they can to help me sound good and to help me become a better performer. It sounds kind of selfish, but it's one of my dreams.

Imagine just sitting or standing in that room that was reserved just for you and your heart to pour out anything it has to say. *sigh* It's beautiful!

Someday, gosh dang it, I will record!!!

How my Weight Loss Journey is a Lie: Be Brave

This is not the easiest of posts to write, but I think it may need to be said. Probably more for my sake than for anyone else's, but if I can help someone with this post then it's worth it! First of all, thanks to those of you who have complimented me lately on my weight loss. I really do appreciate them more than I can say! I know I shouldn't be so focused on how I physically appear, but my body has always bothered me. I've never been happy with it, but lately I haven't had quite as many complaints for myself. A few people have asked how I did it. I usually give some sort of vague answer about eating less/healthier and working out. the majority of that statement is true. But here's how I really lost 25-35 pounds in under 3 months: I stopped eating. I kept working out. If I had to eat it was incredibly small amounts and I tried to find something healthy. It started out small. I only ate one-two normal meals a day. Then it kept going down and down as I sa

Summer and Birthdays and Perfection!!

It has been a while... again... so I apologize for that. Basically, I have been having the time of my life this summer. I love where I am, who I am with, that I am closer to my family, and the list is absolutely endless! For the first few weeks of summer I was able to go home and help my Grandmother and family. I helped my mom with gardening, watching kids, etc. and I love it! I helped my Grandmother with whatever she needed and it was a lot of fun!! I love being home!!! I am back in Wyoming for the summer doing the Sweetwater Summer Stock Theatre Company and the Sweetwater Summer Theatre for Youth here at one of my most favorite places: Western Wyoming Community College. I could NOT be happier. I am in both shows. In the show called "The Boy Friend" I am the French headmistress of a finishing school with many English girl students. I have a lovely maid, Hortense, played by Janay, and eventually I meet up with the love of my life that I had had 20 years ago. He happens to

Loved and Lost, Fought and Won

One of my nearest and dearest friends recently posted a Facebook status about this last year and towards the end she said, “I have loved and lost, I fought and won… My war cry [for 2017] is love, love love.” It made me start reflecting on 2016 in a bit of a different way. Like everyone else in the world, 2016 was REALLY hard. Something in the air I guess. Love, happiness, peace, and purpose were incredibly hard for me to find and believe in. I’ve been letting cynicism paint my perspective on everything that had to do with those. I assumed they would never be mine anymore, especially love. I went home for a little less than 3 weeks for Christmas and New Years so while I was home and on "break" from life, I began to really do some soul searching and finally admitted some things to myself that I had been trying to avoid. #1: I need to reestablish my purpose. I need to find something that gets me out of bed every day and that helps me take the next step in my life. Time
