Who's That Girl?!

So it's been over a month since I officially blogged.
I was and still am in Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp heaven! I have thrown myself into guitar lessons and I just purchased tickets to LA for my The Voice audition! I am going to try it live versus video so they can hear my raw rock talent. Lol! That sounds so cheesy but that is me.

As for the man situation, I am in an official relationship. This is a true feat since it's been about 4 years since my last real relationship.
I am learning a lot about this man and have been speaking up about my feelings and expectations.
He's even been really good to support me in my healthy sound finding. I fell off my clean eating wagon tonight after a rousing game of Scrabble and wonderful guest over for a healthy grilled chicken and veggie dinner.
I had a heaping bowl of my fave ice cream - mint chocolate chip. I was so good for three whole days and was working out and everything. I'm on a groupon diet plan with these vitamin b shots. No sugar or white/wheat flour. I almost shanked my boss for a cracker today.
It's not a good detox but I need to stay stronger. This weekend Whole Foods will get sick of seeing me. I want to really stick to this way of life and know my body will thank me for this beyond the 30 day groupon.
I will return and blog more but rest is also part of the plan. Nighty night.

Changing The Scene In 2013

So... It's been 20 days into the new year and a lot has changed! We open Little Shop of Horrors in 5 days. I was called to audition for one of the most popular Broadway shows in history -"Book of Mormon". The audition went well but who knows with these things. I was invited to be in a band with a very unique name and sound- Shrubbery Transit. Our first gig is on the same day as my first guitar gig at the famous music location -The Windjammer. 1/26 will be a challenging day. But I can't wait. I am doing everything I've ever wanted. I just have to reserve a bit of energy for work. I need to be at the office at 7:30 each morning. Ugh! So far so good. My sound is frazzled but content. Busy with things I love to do = happy.

Oops I Did It Again!

Image
A coaching colleague of mine just called me out yesterday! I was filling her in on what was going on in the last few months.  I shared that I worked myself into the energy point of no return.  I was burning out.   She quickly pointed out that at the same time last year, I was telling her a similar story about how I hustled so hard I needed to take a break.  She highlighted that it appears that August is the season for slowing down.  But I shouldn't be working so hard until I'm at the brink of burn out AGAIN.   Oops! I did it again.  I got lost in the game.     What's interesting is that we focus on bad habits like smoking, over eating, negative self talk but I think we forget that how we work can also be a habit that needs close attention.   My name is Joyel Crawford and I'm a workaholic. I hustle until I can't flow no mo.   Building your own business is not easy or cheap.  I learned that for 18 yea...
