Flashback 🗽

I remember one time my dad texted me saying he was flipping through channels on TV and landed on an episode of Sex and the City. He thought of me and asked if I ever spend my days galavanting around NYC like Carrie Bradshaw. 🏙

 “Ironically,” I replied, “ I just got out of the salon on the UWS where I touched up my roots and got a blowout and now I’m on my way to meet for drinks with a few friends” 💇🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

 The irony here was true, as my usual NYC days back then consisted of…

⏰waking up at 4am to get to midtown by…

🗒 5am to wait in line to put my name on the audition list and then…

☕️ by 6am get a coffee and then go back to the studio at…

📜 7am to put my name on the official list and get my audition slot for 10am then…

🏃🏻‍♀️ go back to my apartment and get ready and review my songs and warm up…

🎒then leave to go back to the studio at 9am with my work bag with me and…

🎵 do my audition at 10:30 because the slot got delayed and then…

🥸 hop around for another two hours and try to get seen for some more auditions…

💃🏻 go back to the dance callback at 2pm get cut by 4pm

🥯 eat and change quickly for catering at Rock Center by 5pm and…

🤵🏼‍♀️ work until 2am

🥵

My biggest regret about these days would always be…my lack of food choices! I would get fast food coffee and bagels and then spend the night serving Filet Mignon and Red Snapper…

 So folks, the moral of my story here is to make sure you TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF! It’s so easy to get lost in your daily routine.

 You don’t need to travel the world to gain new experiences or treat yourself 🌻

 (Although…it is really fun!)

👊🏻So…start today!

 Find a new cafe or restaurant in your area to try out - or even go to your usual hang-out and try a new dish you’ve never had before…

 Although I would stay away from the Diner Lobster…🤢😅🦞
