Back in the Saddle

Last night was a big night for me. It was my first night back on stage singing after a year break following Kiss of the Spiderwoman and all that jazz. I've been back on stage recently in a play (The Laramie Project) and I had a few small parts (thank God and Sheran and Abel for that opportunity) so that was a nice, easy step back to the stage; along with much nudging from family and close friends. :) All that said, last night was a big deal for me. Mama's Party at Tucker's Blues in Deep Ellum! Small crowd, but lively. I was singing 2nd after Liz and before Kristin, who both were awesome! I can't tell you exactly what happened or how it did, but as soon as I took the mic and stepped into the light something did. Like I woke up or a light turned on or I came to know a peace I haven't known in so long. There was nowhere else I could have been in those moments than right where I was on that stage. It was so exhilarating! It's like I was my old self again! Like I really found "me" again. ME! Looks like I'm back in the saddle again! So, here you go... I'll share my little victory with you all! I'll add the last video when I can download it off my sister's phone! HA!

Wow... that just happened...

So, my "friend" (and I use that term loosely), the one that owes me about $200... oh, did she just make me angry! She told me a couple weeks ago that she would be unable to pay me right now because she has to pay for summer school. In March? Really? I'm not an idiot, but apparently she is. She commented or wrote on someone's wall that she was thankful that they bought her lunch (that's like 3 days now) and she's looking forward to the movies this weekend and the tattoo shop! Seriously? You're gonna spend the money you owe me on tats? Have you no respect? No dignity? No care or concern for what your word means? Does it not bother you that your word means nothing and that I have lost that much more respect for you? Does your reputation not concern you? After all the years we spent under the heading of "best friends", you throw it all away. I mean, you already kind of did with the Christmas dinner at Mi Cocina with your words. Yes, th...

New Year...New Blog... Newness.

Hello 2012! Welcome! Good to see a new face! Many new things on the horizon... new changes... renewed spirit... A breath of fresh air! I feel so many good things coming this year. 2011 was a somewhat turbulent year for me emotionally and I'm glad it's come to an end and I'm thankful for all that I learned from it. I've missed blogging and I really should do it more often. I know I've said that before, but things get in the way and time just flies by you. So, I promise this to you... I will blog at least once a month. A reasonable and attainable goal for me. :) I'll try and catch you up on all that is going on soon...

I am more than I used to be...

 I don't know why today was the day I remembered/stumbled upon this blog again... well, all my blogs. Kismet much? I just spent the last 30 minutes going through my old posts and I kinda want to smack that girl. How blind I was to so many things, but mostly my own worth. I kept placing my worth in what boys (and I use that word intentionally) thought of me. And I was so broken when it ended... as if it was surprising. Reading through the posts I thought I would remember all the feelings and pain, but I didn't. Like the girl that was all over those posts no longer exists. I'd like to think that, for sure. I'd like to think that there is no way I will ever be her again (cause she was a bit of a narcissistic bitch). I'd like to believe that I've actually grown up and know what I'm worth because of me and not a man. Let's call that a vast improvement from where I was when I first started this blog (back in 2010)! I can also say that the relationship between ...
