1st Blog EVER!!!

hello everyone,

I made this blog for the days leading up to my trip to Orvieto, Italy! Plus while i'm in Italy as well.  Ive been hard at work trying o come up with fundraising ideas! So far I have an online fundraising campaign at http://www.gofundme.com/2hxp48, and im planning a fundraising recital! So far im pretty sure there will be one at Union Church in Berea KY and then im hoping i can also perform at a few other churches as well! im doing everything i can to save and fund raise money for this trip! 

Here is the link for the program that I am hopefully attending! i still am waiting for the acceptance letter though ive been told it is coming :) www.orvietomusica.org
The tuition itself is 2,750 but that isnt including my air fare which is looking like it will be 1,800 ugh... i know its a lot but this opportunity will be so amazing for me! After five rejection letters from graduates school that i have applied to i was feeling kinda down on myself when it came to music as my career HOWEVER i am not going to give up! i believe this trip this summer is my next step in growing as a vocalist and working towards graduate school!

I called this blog Following my Destiny because lately more than ever i have felt like i am on the right path in my life.  Even though my life isnt exactly where i though it would be right now i know it is the right one. My dad used to tell me all the time that there is always more that one path and we choose where we go, there also always something about he would drag me down the right back kicking and screaming if he had to. Good news he didnt have to.  From the moment i got accepted at Berea College and i decided to go i felt like destiny was like YEAH THATS RIGHT!! then when i got all the no letters from graduate school then james and i broke up for a little while i felt like i was lost something was wrong, id apparently fallen off the path. But things slowly came back together james and i worked out things (and are doing great now in case you were wondering), i got my amazing job at Savage Syndications, i was enjoying singing at union choir with a very different choir than i was used to, and then this trip laid itself out for me! im finally back on the path.  Maybe i was meant to take a year off from school get to know a more relaxed side of myself lol or maybe i was meant to stay in kentucky.. who knows im just glad i am indeed following my own destiny! 

much love... another blog coming soon!!!
