I've been working hard on audio for the Penn Singers virtual production of "Now. Here. This." 

I started with music rehearsals, but now my job is compiling and balancing material from our cast and orchestra, getting ready to send everything to video in a week.

It's hard but rewarding work.😅

I can't wait to see the final product!

✨ Self-Taping ✨ . . . . I've had to self-tape ✨ Self-Taping ✨
.

I've had to self-tape before, but I've had to do it much more during the pandemic. Not only that, the self-taping I am doing is for projects are that intended for the screen. This has been a huge challenge. 😤

When filming for a musical project, I've had to record my voice while wearing headphones at the same time. So many problems... 😬

It can be difficult to sing accurately when you have other sound being pumped into one or both ears. I often get upset at the final product, which is a slippery slope when you can do a million takes if you need. 🥵

I miss the energy of a single audition, and the ease with which I could "forget about it" after the fact. 😎 It's so easy to care about every single self-tape I do.

On top of that, I'm working in a medium in which I have very little experience. 😓 I find that I am unhappy with my ability to not only settle into a scene, but I also struggle with feeling like my performance is not enough.

And that leads me to feel as if I am not enough. 😟

I am grateful for having meditation in my life... 🙏🏽 I imagine it would be even harder for me to let go. But I am doing my best to focus on the positives.

Each self-tape I do is experience. And I will get better. I DO get better. 🤩

Focus on the journey, not the destination. This is a time of growth, and I refuse to let myself fall into a fixed mindset. 💪🏽

And if you are struggling with this too. I am here to tell you that you ARE enough. You are in the arena. You are on the journey. ✨

Keep going! 🙌🏽 IMUA! 🤙🏽

Today marks 48 hours since I started wearing my Sm Today marks 48 hours since I started wearing my SmileDirectClub aligners. 🥳

When I was younger, my teeth were not bad enough to need braces. They would have been a luxury expense. 🧐

But over time, my teeth have grown to be more crowded in the front. Eating things like corn on the cob can leave me feeling sore for a while. 😤

I'd been on the SmileDirectClub mailing list for some time, but never took the plunge. But they were running a special for a free impression kit, and I finally decided to do it. ☑️

I'm hoping that it will help with my front teeth and my overbite. I do think it will positively affect my speech, and make me feel more open and present. 🙏🏽 I even think it might help me release some tension.

The tooth pain is intense right now... I'm considering getting some painkillers to help with that. 🤤 They are also cutting up my inner cheeks and tongue, so I might also get some cotton. I know it will start to subside as I go through the week.

I have 12 sets of aligners to go through before I am done. They sent me a 3D rendering of how my teeth will be moving over the next four months, and it's pretty incredible. 🤯

In the meantime, I am learning to adjust to wearing them. Speaking and singing are a bit difficult, and I have a bit of a lisp. 😅 But I am not giving up; I will adapt!

I give Acts of Service as one of my love languages I give Acts of Service as one of my love languages. The languages were coined by Gary Chapman. And yes, I really do enjoy helping people, whether it be as simple as washing the dishes or as involved as lending an ear.

But there are pitfalls in this love language...

Most often, I focus so heavily on other people that I forget about myself. If I keep my attention on others, I don't have to address the things that I am going through. A lack of self-awareness.

And that lack allows me to avoid my feelings and never deal with them. I'm left with a pot on the back burner... that's eventually gonna cause a mess.

I also notice that I start to define myself by what I do for other people. That becomes my metric for the kind of person I am, rather than simply accepting myself.

And once I go there, I can start to create a running tab of everything I've done. Relationships become transactional... and then the expectations start. "I should receive something from this relationship".

And once you've gone there, there is no real love in that relationship. There was so much potential for a deeper connection, but it gets lost in "the list".

One of the big problems... I struggle with the fear that if I focus on myself that I am being egocentric and selfish. By focusing on others, I'm a "good person". But that prevents me being ME and healing myself. Self-care.

We all need to be a healthy, complete person before we can help other people. Otherwise, we will be trying to define who we are by our service, and we will ultimately define our worth and value from that. That is totally backwards.

I must remind myself that I am worthy and complete. I don't need external sources to validate my existence. I know... It's easy to think of life as a list... something concrete and quantifiable.

But the truth is... if we accept who WE are completely, then every act of service has no ulterior or secret motive. It has no bearing on our worth, and only serves to deepen our connections. This is not quantifiable. But it lifts us all up without any danger of boiling over & causing a mess.
