The Icing On The Cake ...... and more

I posted this on my blog the other night in anticipation waiting to hear about this scholarship.....


Sometimes parents can get it totally wrong and whatever they say to us, we know, that all they want is the best for us.

My parents want the best for me. I was not the most conventional child to raise, nor was I ever going to be that daughter that did well at school, went to university, got the serious stable job, meet a nice man get married have kids etc etc... It was never going to be that for me. Although sometimes I think it might have been easier? But who said life was easy?

So usually with my crazy ideas my parents might have thought maybe I should back everything up with something more stable. They might have suggested I become a real teacher (because what I am doing now doesn't earn enough or whatever), or that I join the army because my brother and sister have.

But despite all that, I think now they are starting to get it and it only took a few persistent years.

After my decision to move to New York next year to re-establish a career in music, my parentals aren't trying to talk me our of it, they are totally behind it, and are really giving me that reassurance that grounds this by far quite crazy idea.

I have also applied for a scholarship which is keeping me awake at night waiting to hear something... Anything. But I spoke to mum yesterday about it and she said I shouldn't be anxious, and that this scholarship is just icing on the cake. The cake being me actually moving to NY in the first place.

I thought it was such a wonderful analogy. So it has definitely lifted my mood about this scholarship and the waiting game.

Just have to focus more on the cake right??

So I did just that! I started focusing on the cake. Focusing on the reason as a whole of why I was going and what my intentions were.
And I got the phone call. In the middle of a lesson with one of my students. I got the scholarship!!! I start next year in July!! So very excited! I've worked really hard on myself and my voice and it's all starting to finally pay off, I am so grateful! I am now in the process of organising my finances as the scholarship doesn't cover all my tuition fees, but it is a really generous start and I am so excited to even have my foot in the door!


Look out Broadway, you're next.
