EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEk!!!!!! Yes, again, another cyber-girlie shriek. I seem to have so many occasions where they are just plain necessary!

I just got back from the first read through of A Bookworm’s Tale with most of the cast in attendance. So exciting!!! My first musical! How cool!

I have been cast as Miss Holly in this production and am quite excited about this opportunity to work with some amazing people and the upcoming talent in Edmonton.

I auditioned the musical piece, I Dreamed a Dream – yes, the same song that lead to all that Susan Boyle fame.

It’s been so long since I connected with my early opera and classical training.

Don’t worry people, I am still singing what I love – country of course, it just so happens that I can sing most musical genres and enjoy stretching my repertoire as a way to improve my overall technique.

The music plays on, the show must go on, and as I have been so deeply aware of, life must and does go on.

I thank God in my prayers again tonight and know that life consipires for me and with me for my greater good. I learn from my mistakes, and take the lesson and take another step forward.

If you can dream it, it can happen to YOU! So my wish for everyone out there, pick a dream (make it a good one! fill it with love and give yourself permission to have that dream for yourself)
Dreams can and do come true. Everyday I get to witness the truth of this. So go and get your dream(s)!

God Bless,

Hello Everyone!

It’s been a hectic week or so. Last week was the first rehersal for the month end fundraiser. That went well. Today was the second rehersal – looks like I’ll be stepping out of the country box and singing a musical number plus one or two country numbers for the January 30th show at the Sands Hotel on Fort Road in Edmonton, AB – The Renata Room – Doors open at 7:00 PM Show starts at 8:00 PM. Tickets are only $5.

Just yesterday I had an audition for another commercial at the Best Western Cedar Park Inn. That went well. I have to say that everyone at any of my auditions have been absolutely fantastic!

Then, today, I had an audition for A Bookworm’s Tale with Gilbert Allan & Cara Albo. What a blast – this duo has partnered up for a two act musical production that will make the community – heck, the city proud! I did my first monologue today, and dusted off my classical/operatic pipes and sang “I dreamed a dream” from Les Miserables. What a change of pace – and what a pleasant surprise – I can still hit those notes.

Regardless of the outcome of my auditions, I have to admit that it’s been a great opportunity to try new things and to just go for it.

It would seem that 2010 has a few surprises in store – I love surprises, don’t you?

For all of you out there who have been watching, supporting and cheering me on, I wish all of you the best 2010 possible. If experience has taught me anything, it is simply this: if you’re passionate about it, and it’s something that you want, and if it will bring more life to you and/or others, then GO FOR IT!

I’m going to make this my Nike year, you know their slogan, “Just Do it!”

Love Bomb!

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break and is excited about the new year.

Unlike many people, I have not made any new year’s resolutions, save the same one I made last year – I resolve to make no new year’s resolutions.
Strange as that may be, I find it counterproductive to make them as past experience has taught me that they are often made from a place of wanting and lofty expectations that may not be based on what is really best for me, but more so, on other people’s expectations of what I need to change.
I live my life in the present – the “now” as Eckhart Tolle writes about. Past experience has taught me that I have lived most of my life looking back, or looking up ahead, but never looking where I “AM.” Last year, I finally began living my life in the now and made it about “BE-ing” as opposed to “DO-ing.”

The more I got in touch with what I am all about, the more doors began to open for me, and the more things showed up for me.
The music, the acting, the co-writing credit, the movie, the 9 weeks I made it though the Undiscoverd competition, all showed up for me last year.

So I am incredibly excited to see what is next!

As for upcoming events, I will be performing on January 30th, for a local fundraiser.
There is also the Stollery Fundraiser in April.
I will post more details as soon as I have the finalized information.

There is also more studio time coming up for me – I’m so excited!
So, to open up the new year, I am wishing everyone of you a wonderful new year!

Huge love shout to all of you!

Hello Everyone,

Well it seems that 2009 is on its way out, and 2010 is on its way in.
This has been a year filled with suprises and constant reminders of what it is I am here to do.
The HMV Christmas stage was an opportunity to get back on stage – I must say that I felt a little rusty up there after being away from it for almost three months.
It was a nice mini reunion to see Nathan Brown & Vanessa Oller again. I miss the crew bigtime!

Looking back at 2009, I am so thankful for all the wonderful people I met during the 10 week Undiscovered competition.
I am thankful for Lightframe Entertainment and the opportunity to work on my first feature film.
I am thankful to Cooper Studios for the HMV Christmas Stage and to Shawna-Lynne for next year’s Stollery Children’s Fundraiser for which I shall be opening for Shawna-Lynne at.
This event will take place in April 2010. Check back soon for the details on this event, and hope to see some of you out there!

Most of all, I am thankful for my family and the friends who have been there for me and supported me along this journey.
In those moments when things have been most difficult, they have all been there for me.
So, K., C., H., L., S., K., M., N., V., C., THANK YOU!!! <3 <3 <3 you all soooooooo much!!

I will keep you all posted on any new events, news and gigs.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support along the way!
Love Bomb!
Merry Christmas everyone & God Bless!

Okay, it’s coming up soon… for those of you who don’t know, it’s the HMV Christmas Showcase with Cooper Studios.
Myself along with some of the amazing Top 10 roster from Undiscovered Edmonton 2009 will be gracing the HMV Christmas stage this saturday from 1PM – 4 PM.
So come on out and have a listen to the likes of Nathan Brown, Vanessa Oller, Rhese Rheyes, yours truly and the rest of the gang!

I have to tell you, it’s been awhile since I dusted off these pipes so I’m pretty excited about taking them out for a spin this weekend!
And just a quick plug, just wanted to say that my amazing vocal coach Anna Beaumont just released her latest CD, Doorways, and if you want more info, or to register for any of her amazing classes in the New Year, head to her website at: www.annabeaumont.com

So, hopefully some of you can make it out to support the amazingly talented singers at HMV.
Love shout to everyone out there!

Hello my favorite people! You would not believe what happenned last night!?!
A few days ago, an old friend of mine left a message on my voicemail to call him back about a song we had worked on almost two years ago!
Well his genius and whatever it is that I did created a song…

In the magical world of Pauline Lee, that collaboration has created a song credit as a co-writer for yours truly.
So, I can add to my list of accomplishments for 2009, co-writer for a song that will be copyrighted and is going to be recorded by a big name in the Canadian music industry… I’m going to wait until it’s all done to suprise you with who recorded it!!

Not to mention the extra credits for Fubar 2, and a commercial credit and an Alberta Agriculture video credit and a credit on Anna Beaumont’s new CD as part of her One Voice choir!

So, I’m going to say that dreams do come true – I’m watching mine unfold everyday… Thank you all so much for coming along for the ride. You all rock!

Love you guys!

Hello everyone!
I apologize that it’s been way too long!!
The flu season has been hanging out at mi casa, and it’s taken me this long to shake it!
Here is what’s up lately.

I had the priviledge of working on the Fubar 2 movie set as an extra just last week. So, either look for me in the scene in the big wave pool at West Edmonton Mall, or possibly somewhere in the movie. You never know with these things, but it’s pretty cool to have spent the day on set for the second installment of the Fubar movies.
It was great working with two gals from the same agency that I’m with – Donna & Marion – so cool!!

As for music, I’ll be showcasing with Cooper Studios on December 12th at West Edmonton Mall on the HMV Christmas stage, also, I am waiting confirmation for Camrose as well, again working with Cooper Studios.
Shawna-Lynne has been an absolute doll, and the excitement continues to build as I work on a few songs for the showcase – hopefully we’ll get to each sing at least a couple songs!

That aside, life has been pretty interesting minus the couple of weeks that the nasty flu bug came to visit!

I am still deciding on a recording to do with my gift certificate for the recording studio, and have been looking at creating a DVD for Aquilla to get me in to do the anthems for the Oilers.

I’ve been missing the crew from Undiscovered. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone for the showcase on the 12th of December, and for those of you following the singers, please go check out Rhyse Reyes on Facebook – she’s been in the Bunker’s Idol competition.

Huge love shout to everyone!

Hello everyone! I just wrapped filming on a video for Alberta Agriculture and have submitted for a few more screen projects!
Life has been like a whirling dervish – all over the place and it’s been such a wild ride!

News on the music front, I’ll be heading back into the studio to work on songs for the HMV Christmas stage in December with Cooper Studios. I am so looking forward to that!

I’m also headed into the studio to do a recording here in the next couple of weeks.
So life is clipping along, the acting roles have been landing on my doorstep, and the great part of everything – they’re all paid work!

I just finished working with Shadowland Productions and it was an amazing experience! I have to thank God and my lucky stars for all the wonderful things that have popped in as of late.

Sending you all a huge love bomb – everyone who has been on this ride with me, thank you all so much for your loving support and encouragement! I’ll make you all proud yet!

Hi all!
It’s been such a crazy ride since I wrapped the filming of the movie “Money” on the 5th of October.
The latest cool things, I ended up landing 2 more auditions AND have a meeting with an agent later this week!
This is insanely amazing!

I am also setting up a time to get to the studio to record a track with the gift certificate I scored a month ago at a networking mixer.
It is funny how all it took was one craigslist classifieds posting and voila, *kaboom* – instant momentum!

So I am going to say that anything is possible – I am proving it every moment of my life.
Just remember, when it looks like things in your life are falling apart, it may just be the start of them falling together! Just remember to keep hanging on and knowing that things will work themselves out – and stay positive!
It’s been an exercise in faith, and taking a giant leap and knowing that no matter what, things will work themselves out, and also letting go to any ideas I may have about what the outcome has to be.

I just want to thank everyone who has been with me on the ride, or who has joined me on the ride.
Even though many of you are out in cyberspace, we are all connected. We are all “One.”
Here’s a huge love bomb *<3*

Remember: “Live your dreams – better you than someone else!”

Filming for the movie was wrapped in the wee hours of the morning. In fact, I haven’t really slept yet, so it’s been a looooonnnnnggggg day!

I am officially done working on my first feature film in a supporting role.
It will take six to nine months for production and editing to get done with it, so it will be some time after next summer.
I will keep everyone posted on air dates, and I get a copy of my own when it’s all done.

The movie is called, “Money”.

The entire cast & crew have been amazing and it was the most amazing experience that a gal could ask for since it is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this! As a newbie, it’s been an absolute dream – honestly, I am still living in disbelief land, and still asking, “really? Me? Are you sure?”

As far as dreams go, this has been the best one to date. So now, I’ve been paid to sing AND to act.
So, dreams can and do come true.

Even better, I’ve got another part already. It will be pitched for a t.v. series.

In the meantime, I’ll be working on things with Cooper Studios for the Undiscovered Talent Showcase, and likely laying down a track this month as I won some free studio time last month at a networking event!

Thank you everyone for your support & encouragement!
Huge love shout to everyone out there!
