2012 In Review..

Greetings from a small town in Québec!

I don't get cell service, and to be honest, I am not sure I miss being completely connected all the time! I won't go through a list of resolutions, but I did find something I really enjoyed that I wanted to share. (A Facebook post that came across my newsfeed!)

My project for this year is to have a jar, and whenever I think of something that made me smile or happy, I write it on a piece of paper and put it in this jar. I will then open it on new years eve and see all of the things I am grateful for. Often times we get some bogged down by everything negative in our lives, that its time to start appreciating what we have!

Here are just a few of the things that I would have put in my jar for 2012:

Family and friends
My grandmother turned 92 and is still lively and living on her own!!!
Three adorable nieces
Two cute kitties
Supportive parents
Friends far and wide who I got to reconnect with! (A major bonus in this career!)
Signing with Uzan International Artists
JMC Tour of Carmen throughout Quebec and Ontario
Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail in my hometown!
Second Season at Merola Opera Centre singing Lady with a Hand Mirror
An offer with Edmonton Opera and a couple of more I can't announce!
An audition trip to Europe where I got to visit some new countries, cities and make music!
Fun times in France with singing friends.
Signing with a French Agent: Florence Brunel
Singing on a cruise ship- and a family vacation all in one! "We're all in the same boat" was what we kept saying...

Thanks for reading! I hope that 2013 brings you health, happiness and good fortune!
