A Bit of a Backstage Hiatus

Episode 33: "Chicago" the musical: My Off-Season Job - Choreography

Thank you for your patience. I wanted to take a moment to apologize for the lack of new content this month. Things have gotten a little hectic, and my creative energy has been focused entirely on one big project: choreographing the musical "Chicago"! It's been an amazing experience, but it's also been incredibly demanding, leaving little time for the writing that I love to share with you all.

On top of the choreography, I've also been dealing with some early signs of a fibromyalgia flare-up. Those of you who know me might be familiar with this, and I know the importance of listening to my body. Thankfully, with some extra rest and sticking to my usual supplement routine, I've been able to keep it at bay for now.

The good news is, as you can see from the poster image, that the show's opening night is fast approaching, and after that, I expect to have a renewed burst of creative energy. I can't wait to get back to writing and sharing my thoughts with you. Until then, here's to a fantastic opening night and a return to regular blog posts!
