Eight years since the last post. EIGHT YEARS. Not quite sure how that has happened, but here we are! My old blog summary, which I've just updated:
"Musings on my life as a busy opera singer, voice teacher, photographer and mom - not necessarily in that order! I consider myself immensely fortunate to have carved out a way of doing all of these things which mean so much to me - it may sometimes get a little crazy, but it's always worth it. Welcome to the madhouse!"
I'm still fortunate, and I'm still doing all these things in one way or another, but life has sure changed a lot since then. We've come out the other side of a major recession. The beautiful 12 year old in the sidebar photo is graduating from college and moving on to grad school (note to self, update photo!). Both of my parents passed away in 2019, after 5 complicated, traumatic years of steep decline. I was appointed Voice Department Chair of a conservatory Preparatory division and now find myself teaching more than performing or taking pictures (although you bet I still do both when I can!), and we're just starting to see glimmers of light at the end of the Coronavirus pandemic as vaccination ramps up.
It's a funny old life, but here we are. Things have changed and so, no doubt, will the nature of my posts, but, as the song says, "I'm still here...." .
