Scary Yellow Bricks

High expectations, busy-ness, disappointment, discouragement, aching toes, an empty stomach, enlightenment, fear, growth, very little sleep, love, embarrassing moments, re-dos and friendship.This weekend has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. What with late night rehearsals and work early in the morning, it's hard not to be emotional.

I underestimated how much I would learn in this opera experience. I overlooked the challenge. The height of my pride gave me the illusion that this experience would be a short, quick hop over the fence. In reality, I'm facing an opponent the size of the wall of China. The excitement of the moment often causes one to disregard the winding, long, looming road that indeed lies before the Emerald City. When I received this role, no one mentioned wicked witches, angry trees, or poppy fields (metaphorically speaking, of course). Thank goodness, I've got a brain, a heart, some nerve, and a whole lot of support. Understatement of the year- I have been humbled incredibly-there's definitely no place like home(or comfort zones for that matter).
Welp, I'm off to see the wizard. Here's to hoping he can help me rock the stage next week.


And that's what Jenny thinks.
