Sometimes I think that I’m wasting time not utilizing my talents to change the world.

I am a classically trained coloratura soprano, who acts and writes among other things.

I have a hard time deciding on just one thing to focus on in order to move forward in “The Biz”. There are times that I am disappointed in myself thinking I’ve never really seen anything through till the end and how unproductive I’m being continuing on this way. I need to pick an area and stick with it and then maybe move into other areas.  I never wanted to be one of those people who portrays the old adage “Jack of all trades and master of none”. I’m especially introspective when a friend close in age dies. I’m always re-evaluating my life at these points wondering why I’m letting so much time go by without “making my mark”.

But…

I don’t have to look too far to notice the impact that I’ve already made. I can recall more than a few comments and even glances that have said it all. I have been blessed with extraordinary gifts but the ones I tend to think of first, aren’t the only ones I possess.

For one thing, my children are definitely one way I aim to drastically change the world.

My children will think long and hard about things that most people in main stream society never think twice about. Some of these include:

1. Sex before marriage. 2. Not marrying someone who shares their faith, morals and standards. 3. Giving birth in a hospital as opposed to a birth center or at home. 4. Having their children formula fed as opposed to breastfed.  5. Sending their children off to be “educated” by strangers. 6. Not sending their children to school but duplicating school at home. 7. Getting a job they hate doing for money instead of for the love of what they are doing or creating their own job.

So, no, I’ve not cut that first album or starred in that first film but I am doing so much more by investing in my children. I do still plan to sing and act on a more full time basis someday but for now, I’m making my mark on the world this way.

And the wonderful thing is, I’m not even done yet
