It has been one week since the launch of THE BIL. For those of you who have liked, shared or sent me a message of support- THANK YOU!
I think many people are a little confused about what I am doing ‘now’. Well the answer is simple, I’m doing me.
I am STILL an actress.
I am STILL a voice over artist.
I am STILL auditioning.
And I am STILL staying active.
So what is this ‘blog’ thing?
It’s a new way I’m channeling my creativity.
At the start of the pandemic I lost my stable income from teaching fitness as well as the ability to pursue my dreams and goals as a result of Broadway shutting down- the Western world shutting down. There weren’t any auditions for a while, there are some now nut not as many and there still aren’t any ‘in-person’ ones.
I was lucky enough to work on some voice over projects for Netflix, I wrote my first novel and I even got married.
But then in spite of all this, I suddenly felt lost and panic stricken. I had no idea what the future had in store for me. I applied for all sorts of corporate jobs and even almost went on a reality tv show. I felt stuck in limbo.
A month ago, a light bulb went off and I decided to work on something new. To give it ago. A project that would combine my passions and past work experiences. A home for my artistry.
I spent the last month working fifteen hour days and teaching myself new things. All in attempt to carve out a new path.
The day before I planned to share THE BIL with you, I started to question everything. I wondered who would care, if people even still read blogs and I even worried I may appear conceited. I almost didn’t share this place, my new place, that is in the clouds with you. But I am happy that I am doing it.
Tonight a girl I have never met reached out to me on social media. She had seen my post and it had helped her. She confided that she was struggling with bullying. This made me cry. Her message also encouraged me to keep moving forward with my blog.
Even if this, what is presently- a little and unheard of blog, only helps two people (her and me), then it’s all been worth it.
The truth is, I don’t really know what I am doing, but I’ll figure it out. I have changed a lot as a person and in direction, but I have never been afraid to try something new. I’m a firm believer in giving your dreams a go.
If you have a dream, go for it. It’s better to try and live without the ‘what if’.
The ironic thing is (apart from the name of course), since launching THE BIL I feel a little less in limbo. It feels as if this is exactly what I am meant to be doing right now. So I guess I’ll keep doing it. In the mean time be sure to leave your comments and share the posts that you enjoy so I can keep posting more of what you would like to see.
This is just the beginning, there is going to be so much more to come…
As always,
Live with Love,
The Bimbo in Limbo xxxx
