Never Give Up!

I treated myself to a matinee today. I wanted to see 'Rock of Ages' but they were not playing today. I have been wanting to see 'Jersey Boys' for years and did not want to pay out the wazoo to go. So I thought, I am in Times Sq. Let me go to the box office of 'Jersey Boys' and see if maybe, just maybe, they had a ticket.

So it was a quarter to 2 and the matinee started in 15 minutes. I asked if they had a ticket and they said would you like one in the $122 price range or the $60 range. I said, let's go with $60. Turns out they have a seat, front row, center stage. How Cool! Spitting distance from the cast. Fortunately, I did not need my umbrella!

It was phenomenal. If you have not seen it go!

I walked out moved by their story of determination and will. I was blown away by the singing and I saw what it really takes to live a life that you want.

I also saw how much I love performing and haven't really performed in 10 years or so. I have been singing all night. Mostly to Zoe.

But what happened, is the universe rekindled a part of me that hasn't been around alot. I reconnected and I actually feel and look younger. I LOVE music and I LOVE theatre.

But I got reconnected with my passion for the arts.

It is amazing. I feel a sense of freedom I have not had in a while.

I love the message of the show. Perseverance, prevails!

Two things I want you to get out of this. 1) Persevere with what your heart desires, do not give up 2) Reconnect to that creative part of you that you have lost and embrace it!!!

Gotta Live dude, Gotta Live!
