I planned on having a blog post go up last week, but the photos weren’t even close to salvageable. The picture above is one of the few that I kind of liked. Worth a shot! Now that my show is over and I have some free time back, I have some fun bloggy ideas floating around in my brain to bring to life. While I plan out some of these blog posts, I thought I’d share a few of the things that have been happening lately and also share a few of my favourite things.… View Post

Lately I’ve been learning how important it is to speak kindly to yourself. I am in a new production this fall (A Christmas Carol! Come see it!) and we had a vocal rehearsal for the singers. Myself and two other girls make up The Jingle Belles, and we sing Christmas songs and radio jingles throughout the show. We sing in thee part harmony, and it’s been a loooooong time since I’ve had to flex my musician-brain-muscles. I’ve been working so hard on my part for the songs, but there is one line that doesn’t want to come out right. Before we could even dive into rehearsal, I uttered one of my favourite phrases:

I just love everything that fall has to offer. My senses seem to be amplified; I’ve already talked about my love for fall food, fall smells are heavenly, the leaves are changing, and everything seems a tad more enjoyable. Despite work ramping up and my finances getting tighter as Christmas approaches, I feel more relaxed. Maybe it’s the thought of getting cozy at night under a blanket with a candle burning and lights a-twinklin’.… View Post

ICYMI, I went to Iceland at the beginning of September and it was awesome. My friend Sharon and I decided to take a road trip on the Ring Road, and I spent waaaaay too long on the internet trying to piece together our itinerary. TBH, it’s hard to see all that Iceland has to offer in 7 days, so I like to call our itinerary the “Iceland: Highlights Edition”…we saw a TON of incredible sights, most of which came up in almost every travel guide.… View Post
