“…it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

hat was a quote inscribed on a gift that my mom gave me for Christmas.  I love it, and it’s probably one of the most important things that I not only came to understand, but learned how to ENACT in 2009.

What a mixed bag 2009 was!  I had some fantastic moments in my career.  I sang for the Dodgers not once but twice.  I performed at LA Pride.  I worked on a new project with fantastic producers, remixers, writers, and managers, and 2010 will start off with a bang as that project finally makes its way to the ears of the listening public.  I started singing with my church choir and that has opened so many doors professionally AND personally.

Not to say that 2009 didn’t have its low points………. but the last quarter of this year made me feel really proud of myself.  It proved to me that every day is indeed a new day, and a new chance to pick yourself up.  I’m starting to learn better resiliency skills.  I’m learning to expand my horizons.  My class at UCLA was such an eye-opener as far as showing me that there are many dimensions to life, and to me (I’m taking another class starting next week!).  I also learned that happiness isn’t dependent on where you are or what you’re doing… as spacey and new-agey as it may sound, happiness truly is a state of mind.

To sum it up, I am ending 2009 happier than when it started.  So 2009 – I consider you a success!

I wish you all the best in 2010.
