POP WITH A JAZZY CURVE

what I am learning…

Isn’t that the truth?!

I’ll tell you, I’m in the thick of it, right now! I am self-taught on WordPress and today right in the middle of writing this post, I had a full site crash. Surprisingly,  I stayed pretty calm and kept searching and thinking and reading and then I got some much needed help from my fabulous, geek friends. I did seemingly lose my logo (hence the big space at the top of my pages) and for a time I thought I lost my entire site, but I’m moving forward and carefully adding back in a few plugins and apps. Oh yeah, and I backing up right now, DUH. Whew…

Next up is the fact that come January, I’ll be laid off from my night gig of just under 15 years. Yup, just like that, goodbye.

This is not entirely coming out of left field. It has been clear for a while that things were moving in that direction. And, so for the last 2 years, I have been branching out as a solo jazz/cabaret artist, upping the ante with Dangerous Curves and growing my voice and piano studio.

Not only that, I have added a coach to my arsenal. I am studying piano, voice and performance in a way that I have never done before. It is daunting, time-consuming, overwhelming and utterly rewarding. My artistry (and bravery!) are growing in ways I didn’t know they could. I credit this new found depth of my heart to an open mindedness absolutely necessary to grow…

and to my son…

jazz singer, las vegas, mommy blogger Talk about inspiration! Talk about the desire to be at home more! Talk about the love of our lives! Whenever I am feeling too tired to write, or practice or power walk or whah-ev-er, I look at this face and thank God for this blessing! I have been praying for a way to be with my son more and so once again the Universe has heard me!

    […] I am one busy chick-a-dee. I currently hold 2 jobs in addition to being a Wife and Mom, and I am studying my art at a level I have not done in years. I’m not complaining, mind you, simply informing. I am preparing for being laid off from my night gig of 14 years. You can read more about that here. […]
