It seems to be that absolutely every one I know is going through some sort of major transition.  The theme seems to be that we are all losing everything we have; homes, jobs, relationships and not sure where to go next.  If this sounds like you, don’t worry, it’s happening to everyone right now!

I really think it’s a universal thing.  I feel like the world is getting shaken up in a major way and people are starting to wake up to themselves and to each other. We have spent so long on the grind, “doing jobs we hate to buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like”.

I’ve started reading a book by Jungian analyst Marian Woodman and she talks about the “birth canal” in terms of it being painful going through changes in our lives.  I think this is why I had such a break down earlier this month, I had to lose everything to realise what I really, truly wanted.

And so I am happy to update you on what is happening with me:

I am moving back to London into a creative’s community right next door to where my best friend lives.

I put myself on a couple casting websites last week and now have an audition class and casting on the 28th and have been asked to send in a head shot for a feature film by Ron Howard.

I have aerial hoop classes, dance classes and pole classes lined up for when I hit London and have started doing work out DVDs to get myself into some sort of shape for when they start!

I am feeling good about life!  It feels Iike I’m coming out the other end of the birth canal.  I know where I’m going and what I want to do – be a performer. This has always been my dream and unfortunately I strayed from the path for quite a few years,  but it’s better that I do this now than never.

I also plan on taking some acting courses and finding out what sort of singing voice (if at all) I have at some singing classes.

If you’re a creative living in London and want to meet up and even possibly be featured on my website, email me!  Speaking of which, there will be a lot more interviews of people doing their own thing up on my site in the coming months so make sure you’re subscribed!

I’m excited and motivated!  I LOVE performing, especially in dance.  I am completely without professional training and utterly out of shape, but that’s even more exciting to me because my goal is to go from this to being trained and in perfect dancer shape to be able to apply to agencies and of course, be booked for shows!

I’m also excited to finally start working on the three burlesque performances that have been dancing around in my head for years.

By the end of this year, I want to be with a few agencies, regularly booked doing dance shows and at least be able to do some sort of acting if I feel its something I still want to do after Ive had some training.  TBH, I have no idea how I’m supposed to remember my lines!

Are any of you going through a disruptive period at the moment?  Lost and don’t know what to do next?  How are you coping?
