Right at the tail end of 2024, something magical happened — yup, right in the wake of my Dad’s passing 💗

Life has really weird timing sometimes, but, I have learned not to question timing. Instead I try to lean in, say YES, and ask questions later 😜

At 41, I found myself back on stage with @cake.cabaret, a brand new performance venue on the Danforth in Toronto, Canada. We are talking full on me-and-a-mic on-stage solo performances for the first time in over a decade (7 down, 3 to go….and I’m only getting started 💃). Not only have I had the chance to live out my 💫vampy lounge singer dreams💫, but I have had the opportunity to once again feel the absolute rush of ENERGY and JOY that comes from being on stage.

That first show put me right out of my comfort zone — who am I to show up and do this after so long!? And surrounded by these outstanding professionals!? But here’s the thing about the creative community — it is a beautiful space of support and encouragement. This group has been incredible

Friends, listen up — if you feel like there is a little something missing…or if you feel as though you have lost your sparkle — it is not too late to find it again ✨ Because I can tell you after 7 performances of this show, the SPARKLE IS REAL (and it’s not just the sequins on my dress)

“If your dreams don’t scare you, they are too small”

Let’s go 2025 🥂
