“Congratulations! The next few months will bring you all sorts of good fortune and opportunities. Your only problem will be spotting such goodies when they come along and knowing what to do with them. Be prepared to take risks, to accept the challenges that come along and to take a philosophical approach to whatever life brings you. The coming year will be quite an eye-opener!”
That was one of my horoscope’s this week. Yeah, I’m one of those people. I don’t really believe in them. I do think they’re fun to read. I also like to see if anything it brings up comes true. If anyone is curious, I’m an Aquarius.
Anyway, it’s been a week of reflecting for me. This is the time of year in the Jewish calendar for atoning, celebrating, and reflecting as we begin a New Year. It’s been a busy, but good year. It’s been challenging, but challenges teach us things about ourselves. I’m still wondering what the part about goodies and what to do with them will mean. However, the horoscope wraps up the past couple of months for me. The challenges. The good fortune. The opportunities.
I’m getting a couple of amazing opportunities in October. One is work related. The other is happening today. I’m flying to Chicago for (30 hours) because I won a contest! First off ... I don’t really win contests. I’ve won one other. I wasn’t picked to play Bozo’s Buckets when I was little. I never win scratch-off tickets. I haven’t won any lotteries for Broadway shows. But, I felt like I won the jackpot when I won the contest to go see the final dress rehearsal of Kinky Boots The Musical! My friend, Alicia, was with me when I got the good news via Twitter. I think she thought I was a bit coo-coo for cocoa puffs when I started jumping up and down and repeatedly saying, “Oh my god! Oh my god!” She was good sport about it and it was nice to share good news with someone in person and not electronically. If you haven’t noticed from past blogs I’m a bit of a Broadway fan. Kinky Boots The Musical always was a show I planned to see. In addition, former Priscilla Queen of the Desert cast member and the seriously talented Ellyn Marie Marsh is in it! So a special shout-out and BIG thank you to her and Kinky Boots for giving Broadway lovers the chance to go see the final dress rehearsal for the show before it opens up in Chicago this week. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see my parents, meet a Tweep of mine, meet Ellyn and everyone ...and be one of the first people to see this show.
I may be running on fumes after a night of work. I’ll be coming home Monday morning to a long, 14 hour work day ... but this is just one opportunity that wasn’t meant to be passed up. I mean my horoscope was right about the opportunities. #Blessed. So I’ll be putting on my boots (sorry, they’re not kinky boots, just Uggs)and hopping a plane for a fast trip home in an hour or so. See you in Chicago!
