Baby Steps Towards Blooming (On Stage!) 

Be brave… Bloom… Be fearless… Live the life you wanted to live…
I keep saying these things to myself. I keep telling people this is where I am. That I’m going to bloom right now. But really I haven’t step too far out of my comfort zone. Oh in my thoughts I have. In the way I think of myself. In the way I see the world.
And even those thoughts and plans do take some courage. But not as much as this: I just said publicly, on Facebook (so it must be true) that this fall I am going to take an acting class and I am going to audition for a play.
I’m going to be an actress this fall. This anxiety filled introverted, often  self doubting girl. I am going to put myself on the stage and say… Here I am. I can do this just because I want to.
I can be a part of this creative community. This can be me. It is not too late to bloom.
