I want my own grapefruit tree

I have just returned from an inspiration-seeking walk through a palm tree lined park. This is after I attempted an inspiration seeking dip in the pool. I quickly decided there was only so much inspiration that would come from bobbing around in a cement hole filled with chlorinated water all by myself. So, I ventured out into the park, found a semi-shady spot and allowed the sun to penetrate through the rustling leaves creating a warm yellow leopard print all over my body. The gentle breeze and nearby birds sent me right into a peaceful trance. I reflected on my life to date. So many things have happened in the last year and I can hardly take it in. Although I still want more for my life and my future, I have so many things to be grateful for. Now, if I can only keep that feeling with me when I make my way back to the gray skies of NYC, I'll be fine. Maybe I won't stay inside all day. Maybe I won't feel tired all the time. Maybe I will be inspired to finally make the music I want to make and fulfill my dream of stepping on a stage in NYC to a crowd of people who just paid $100 for their seats to see me.

Here's the plan...

~ Stay at HRC until after the showcase for World Hunger Year - which, by the way, I will be singing with the house band, dancing (killer pop 'n lock routine - lol) and acting in comedy sketches - I'll fill you all in on how to get tickets when I find out myself

~ Audition full-time until someone...ANYONE...gives me a damn job

~ Take more lessons: Singing, dance and maybe an acting class or two

~ I will have a job before my birthday in February.



So, that's the plan. And I thank the citrus trees for helping me figure it all out.
