On day Eight of April’s 24 Things I let go of my old sheet music. I had stacks of it in the basement from my days in the theater. Three weeks later, I got a call from a Broadway casting director to come in and audition for Sister Act.
It affirmed for me that this process of letting go, really works. Amazing things can open up, when we release, what we think defines us.
It also proves that the Universe has a wicked sense of humor. I had no music to audition with but managed to pull together a few songs. I didn’t get the job but had a great time visiting New York, old friends and belting out a few tunes.
I bring this up today because I am clearing out my boy’s old baby clothes and I want the Universe to know that I GOT IT THE LAST TIME. No need to repeat yourself.
If the Universe is reading this… I don’t want to get pregnant. I just want a clean basement.
