Moving Forward

So... I've decided to make some changes in my life.  I've started working out again.  My legs hurt, but they're gonna look so good when I'm wearing my heels. I'm also making moves with my music.  I'm still praise & worship leader at church, but I'm venturing outside of church.

I decided to audition for a couple of openings.  The Muny here in St. Louis is doing a production of Dreamgirls.  I'm going to audition for the role "Effie".  You know... "And I'm telling you, I'm not going..."  yeah, that role.  I'm also going to be a featured artist at our church's Table of Eights fundraiser.  I'm doing a jazz set instead of gospel, which is what I'm known for.  I want to do something different; get out of this rut that I'm in.  I'm also working on another project.

I receive a newsletter called the Belle Report Mondays-Fridays.  I read the one from yesterday, and I read that Marvin Sapp is looking for new background vocalists.  I decided to put my name in the hat and try for an audition.  I know that thousands of people are going to do the same, but I figure that I have the same chance as they.  Plus, I have plenty of experience.  Do you know who I've sung with?  The list is too long, so I'll spare the details and name dropping. lol

When you pray today, pray for me.  I'm claiming nothing but positivity for 2012.  I need it after these past few months. lol

Be blessed.
