November '18

Whether they be quotes, pictures, experiences, ideas, or lessons learned,

here are my top most memorable moments from the month!

Moments of the Month

8. Went to see Bohemian Rhapsody on opening day! If you're interested in seeing it, read my review HERE first!

7. I tried 2 weeks of Tim Ferris' diet from his book "4-Hour Body." Blog post + a blog exclusive video about it coming this Monday!

6. I started "A Christmas Carol" with Virginia Stage Company as their 'child wrangler' for the second year in a row and we open today! Go HERE for tickets!

5. I finished one of four Beauty and the Beast cross-stitch squares for a pillow I'm making. The two characters were Chip and Mrs. Potts.

4. I explored the Harrison Opera House with a couple of my kids from the Christmas Carol show while rehearsal was going on. I really enjoyed playing and making up tons of games with them to pass time and getting closer with them as this month has gone on. As the show opens, I'm excited to continue getting to know them and hang out with them. (Their headshots are below!)

3. My family and I had a great Thanksgiving!

2. I got to hang out with my friend a lot this month and he even helped me film a new video for my YouTube channel! I don't want to give away too much, but it does have something to do with a popular celebrity-artist. I hope to release it soon so keep your eyes open for it!

1. I talked with the costume designer at the Wells Theatre about starting as a wardrobe supervisor for the remainder of their 40th season. I told her that I love every aspect of theatre and the more I can learn, the happier I am. Then she said, "if you let us [her and her co-costume designer], we'll make you irreplaceable in the theatre world." That has really stuck with me and I am so grateful to her for the opportunities she and Virginia Stage Company have been giving me to expand my abilities in this amazing craft of theatre.

From Day 30 of my Self-Care Challenge, here's an update on some of my short-term goals.

> Read Tim Ferriss' "The 4-Hour Workweek" by the end of October.

(completed 10/26/18)

> Post a YouTube video cover or original song by the end of the year 2018. (It's in the works!)

> See The Lion King on Broadway before my next Birthday in May!

Added: Complete one square of my cross-stitch pillow each month. 1 of 4 done! (If I finish one, the next month starts right away. I'd like to have them all finished by February at the latest.)
