I know, I know, this blog has been collecting cobwebs for quite some time now and I apologize for being MIA. It actually gives me this weird 'Bloggers Guilt' when I've been away for too long or have a post idea but no time to work on it. This is new for me but kind of exciting.
I appreciate the messages from readers wondering where I have been. I am touched that y'all pay that much attention!
In October and November I delved into my dissertation research and writing, had 2 auditions back to back (which I won, yay!), and the next thing I knew it was my birthday and then Thanksgiving. My how time flies!
I am now (almost) recovered from wonderful time with family, holiday food, and cozy activities and have a few blog posts brewing for your viewing pleasure. Check back soon for updates on books, articles, and videos that have been inspiring me lately (or subscribe if you haven't done so already).
I have also added few new events to the calendar including The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky AND a world premier of the Ballet OZ, both with the Tulsa Symphony and Tulsa Ballet.
This weekend we prepare for our Holiday Family Concerts as well as an exciting performance with Amy Grant and Michael Smith at the BOK center in Tulsa. I always love getting on the big BIG stage and playing for thousands so I am really excited for this event tomorrow night.
Happy Holidays!
I've been thinking about you!
