My Great Ideas

Life has been interesting lately. Jesus Christ Superstar is opening on Friday. Rehearsals are going well and I can't wait for everyone to see it.

I find that the closer I get to a peacefully place, the more my anxiety problems try to take over. It will be an ongoing dance for the rest of my life. I can't even say that I wish for anxiety to go away totally because I wouldn't be human, but it would be nice.

Today as I wast telling my longtime friend Tom about my newest idea...something dawned on me. Well, the idea is to open a Doggy Daycare in Hoboken, NJ because EVERYONE has a dog in Hoboken, but there really aren't any places to leave them. Tom immediately said "But, you have never owned a dog!" As we laughed I came up with the idea that I would handle the business end of everything and then he reminded me "But, you don't know anything about running a business." And as we laughed harder, I realized that I have SO many ideas and SO many plans for the future, but I really need to set some goals and make plans for fulfilling them. Of course, we don't know anything about the future since we are only promised this present moment, but setting some sort of general direction and route are the things I like to do.

It is amazing to look back at life and realize that every single thing we have done has led up to this very moment. Even all of those awful things we have had to go through. Just this past month a whole new world of yoga was opened up to me and I thought "Wow, two years ago I never would have imagined that I would be entering a yoga teacher certification." How did I get here? I joined the program because I loved the Immersion. I joined the immersion because I just love the community of Devotion Yoga. I joined Devotion because I was looking for a new studio. Looking for a new studio because of new things I was learning at school. Etc.....

So....some ideas I have for the upcoming year:
Start and finish my 200 hr. YA certification at Devotion Yoga
Graduate from The Actors Studio Drama School with an MFA
Find a way to sell my art
Find a job that I can make my own schedule and have health insurance.
Find a place to live
Get an agent

So there it is universe. The realistic things I plan to work on. No dogs involved (although I do want to own one eventually). If any of you feel like sending some information my way that might help me out with these tasks, please feel free to contact me.

Namaste.
