Jumping off A Bridge (cause everyone else is doing it)

So here it is...I've resisted a blog for a long time.  But now I seem to notice that EVERYONE has one.  I kept thinking, well, of course THEY have one. They have a business they are promoting, or a life change they are documenting, or they have an incredible fashion sense, foodie sense, or electronic know-how and want to share it with the world.  Or maybe it's just their job.  And I think, what do I have?  Well, I'm not sure yet.  I'm not sure where this will go. So much has happened in my life to date: A Broadway Debut, National Tours, A Marriage, The death of a parent...so much I could have blogged about...but didn't.  So why now? I'm not sure.  I've been helping my hubby (am I supposed to give him a blog name?...let's call him Mr. Renaissance - a jack of all trades with talents in art, music acting...but I digress)...I've been helping Mr. Renaissance (soon I will be calling him Mr. R, I'm sure) start up a blog on his new art website and i just caught the bug. 

 So here I go...This year has been a year of stress and a year of reflection, but I've started to do one thing I've always wanted to do. With the help of an amazingly talented Musical Director and Friend, I've started to work on a life long dream : A Cabaret Act.  So as I journey down memory lane, I figure, why not take some people with me? I hope this won't be too self-indulgent a blog, and I hope it goes somewhere.  I have stories to share from the past:

through the present:

and dreams for the future:
