A Balancing Act: Singing, Writing, and Other Stuff

Life is barreling at warp speed toward April.   I can’t believe all that has happened this month.  Between the wedding plans, writing and publishing two children’s books, beginning to work on a small boatload of music for next month… 

It is enough to make your head spin.

The last few weeks I put in my fair share of 12 hour-plus days.     Books, edits, music, more music, church gig, shoveling snow, a stay-cation, that didn’t feel like much of a vacation, wedding plans…

Knock on wood, I haven’t gotten sick, yet.   April 28… I can get sick then, after all my gigs are over with.  

Still, I am thrilled that the second Pomodoro Penguin book had a soft release on Monday.  Pomodoro Penguin and the Geography Giraffe is available for sale… I will start really promoting it in the coming weeks.   

Also in the coming weeks, after a busy week at church for Holy week, I am singing some Corigliano folk song settings on my fiance’s recital and have an exciting gig at St. John the Divine in the city, where I am singing Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with the Brooklyn Phil.  

All of this being said, I am finding that trying to balance singing, writing, social media, and a personal life is a tad more difficult than turning on an egg timer.  

My second attempt at a children’s book is now available….

Now if I could only find a way to blog daily….  I vote for 26 hour days.
