Life without Limits at Comedy Night

Tonight was a night I will never forget. I did Stand-Up comedy at this dive bar's Comedy Amateur Night for my birthday celebration. I know the host and when I told him what I wanted to do, he said "Sure. Let's do it." What did I want to do? Was I actually trying to add one more job to my resume? Was I having another Pre-Mid life crisis (check out my book for the details...www.HiddenGemCo.com)? None of the above. I just always wanted to do a standup comedy act...and I told myself why not just do it.

I was so nervous. There were all sorts of people telling me to not go up on stage because I would embarrass myself. I thought to myself, Well maybe but I'm not doing it for the approval of others. When I arrived and I was watching the other comedians before me I really started to second guess my presence there. I felt that I had no business being In the line up because I didn't have the same type of act that made the audience laugh. But you know what? I shook off all that fear and nervousness and reminded myself why I was there...to live my life without limits. And that is what I hope my life can model for others. Don't be afraid to go after your dreams.

Now don't get me wrong...I don't mean live a life without boundaries or consciousness. See, my dream didn't hurt anyone or violate the laws of human kindness and respect. Simply, live beyond the limit of fear and doubt. If you want to leap, leap. You want to jump, jump. Only you can choose who's voice you listen to. The lion or the lamb.

Happy Birthday to me...and happy living to you.

Muah!

February is Here

Hi Ladies. I absolutely LOVE the month of February. This month there is so much for me to celebrate. February is the month that the United States honors the History of African-Americans in this country. February is the month that America (and other parts of the world) celebrate Love and Loving. February is also the month that I was born. This month is near and dear to my heart.

Celebrate with me all month.

I am going to celebrate mostly this month my birth. I have planned some great and wonderful things...to be continued...

Blessings,
Aurellia
