Tour Life

I know it's been a minute since I have updated my blog... but I find myself constantly on the move on tour... when I am not, I am usually asleep.  Anyways, I have found a new favorite city... Philadelphia!  It reminds me of NYC but a lot cleaner.  Nonetheless it was a perfect stop during my birthday weekend!  We also visited New London, Connecticut, which is a cute city, but at the same time... small and everything closes at 4 pm in the wintertime :-/    Lately we've been doing a ton of one nighters (literally getting on a bus at the crack of dawn and being on the bus until around 2 or 3 pm, check into our hotel, then head to the theater around 5 or so, do a show, and arrive back home *ahem* I mean hotel room at 10:30 pm or so, and do it all again the next day!)  This is the life I chose! :-) which has also been a big learning experience for me.  Imagine being with 25 or so people with different personalities 24/7.  It's a wonderful experience... but it definitely has been teaching me a lot about what it's like to not live alone.  I'm learning a lot about myself... things that I figured would never bother me, do, and my reaction to a lot of things... and that's ok.  It's better I learn it now than later in life.  I've lived alone for the past 3 years... and the tour is a change from what I became used to. I also feel like though at times this learning about myself process is difficult, it is shaping me into becoming a woman... a better and smarter woman.  I realize that something that definitely keeps me grounded is my faith.  I miss being able to attend church every Sunday... I think it teaches one how to be patient... well at least it has always helped me to be patient.  I found online streaming of sermons from the church I attended weekly in NYC... which is really wonderful... especially during this time when I feel like I am under stress.  Still and all, I am utterly grateful for this opportunity to be able to do what I love to do as a full time profession.  Anyways, it is 6:35 am and I doubt I will get sleep again tonight/this morning... most likely on the bus I can catch a few z's... just another thing I am learning how to do.  Anyways, peace and blessings to you all... until next time...
