Blogiversary: Goals Coming Up

Can you believe this November made 10 years of blogging? I can’t. What started as an ideal from friends and family has turned into a full business. Goes to show you that something small can grow.  Oh what a ride it has been. From the uncertainty to the confidence this has been truly a work of art. I love how far this blog has come. More blogs telling it like it is. You will see more vulnerability and making this into a true community. Thank you for all your continued support. From my tribe who came out and showered me with love and support-thank you.

Ensemble Philly Arts

Ensemble Arts Philly and The Shubert Organization are thrilled to announce the return of the engaging and welcoming hit musical, Come From Away, at the Academy of Music from February 4–9, 2025. This engagement is a part of the 2024–25 Broadway Season.  

Come From Away tells the remarkable story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
