five . . . six . . . seven . . . eight

i walked on to the stage hours before the audience arrived. it would be my final performance on this stage.  my time had come. my big break. as i reflected on the hours of practice i had spent preparing for this night i realized my life would never be the same again. one chapter was ending and another one, filled with wonder, expectation and hope was just beginning. 

countless hours spent rehearsing.  social events missed.  proms ignored.  the roar of the crowd my classmates partook in i never experienced.  was it worth it?  

all i know is if i do not step out today, this very moment i will live to regret it forever.  as i breathe deeply to gather my nerve, resolve and composure it becomes crystal clear that this is exactly where i am supposed to be.   

go.  create.  seek.  find.  live.

  1. Staci, you can always get on stage with us. We always need another voice, and in lieu of that, we have kazoos!

  2. This stage can be many things.. im trying to figure out exactly where you were and what you were going thru. I guess thats not important. There have been many stages in life that i have had to step up too. Some i made it and some i didnt. I do know later in life the ones that i missed i regreted. So yea.. step up and face the fear and walke thur it and later in life you will be happy you did. There comes a time in everyones life that they must be on stage and yes that is exactly where they should be...God said so........Perform Perform Perform
