About Me

My photo
I am a mother of one with a background in public relations and communications, and a degree in Psychology. Before becoming a mom I was very career focused and traveled across Canada working for the Canadian Forces before moving to a job with the Yukon government in order to settle down. This blog is about my transition from working bee to full-time mom and maybe back again. It's also about what it means to be a mom and a home maker.

"Spaced Out on Sensation..."

Choir is finally finished and our final concerts were fantastic. Everyone had a lot of fun, the energy was high in all of the songs and my semi-solo opportunity went off without a hitch. Costumes became the thing to do, since we had so many great opportunities for them, so when Sue and I had our opportunity we each donned a pair of cat ears and hit the microphones for our four bars. No problems and we got lots of compliments; a long way from my legs freezing up every Monday night in rehearsal.

To be honest, I think being on stage with the lights shining and the audience waiting really helped. As soon as we got to the Arts Centre for our first rehearsal I felt really great about being on the stage. It was energizing and my confidence hit a high. The extra lessons and knowing that the whole choir was putting on a phenomenal show probably contributed as well.

Even though I'm completely exhausted today, I think choir is the one activity I'll continue while we're in Victoria. Music is good for your soul.

This photo from The Time Warp gives you an idea of how much fun we were having with the songs.
