W3D2 - It's not always what you expect!

Well, I know have no idea what day of the week it is, ever. The first week I was still on track, and the second week I lost it a few days, but now, it's gone. Out the window, it could be Friday for all I know. The only reason I know it's Wednesday is because we had the German Lieder Song Soiree night, and those always happen on Wednesday. I guess I was confused today because it didn't feel lika normal Wednesday. It started off with a good sleep, and the sun shining outside my window. Then a great yoga session, followed by some wonderful Morning Inspiration from Kim. It was one of those days where I learned something new in every class. My brain feels like the knowledge is just oosing out, I don't even know what to start with, and some of it is getting all slimy and confusing.

During Morning Inspiration Kim talked about literally manifesting everything that goes on in your life. Everything is done for a reason. What's most important is getting the ego out of the way. When something happens to you, you just have to let it happen to you, and it will teach you something. Sometimes it's not about you, and it about teaching someone else something, but you just happened to be the person used to tell them. It sounds kind of strange, but in a way I think that is our free will. I believe in God, a creator, or something that created everything, but God gave us freewill. We can make our own choice. Sometimes the choices of other will affect us, and we need to learn to accept it and move through it. It was always teach you something.

Then I had an acting class with Kim, and we basically all discovered that acting is like lying. After that, we revamped the importance of practice. When we practice, what are we verbing? When you are doing anything, you should ask yourself what you are verbing/doing. Verbing helps to bring focus and attention to whatever you are working on in your practice session. It's as easy as remebering that "generality is the enemy of all art." -Stanaslofsky. When we practice we need to make sure we aren't just practicing singing, but also action with intension. There must always be intension, or why would you move. Singers often have a spot that My warmups have changed forever now!

In the afternoon I had a lesson with Jackie, and all I want to say is I love Jackie, and she helped me find something new today in my voice. (that is pretty much my goal, to find as many voices as I can). Today I sang with no tension in my neck. It was a very strange feeling. It's a strange feeling because it's not the same as the old one.

Beatrice and Benedict is coming soon, AHHH, one more week! Holy Moses:) Lots to do yet, but now it's just a done of polishing!

Well folks the sentenses are getting smaller, with more and more exlamation. It's time to hit the hay!

Over and out!
