Make Your Dreams Your Reality!

It's the second day of the year. What are you doing TODAY to ensure your dreams become your reality?


Hey Friends!

     In my last blog post I talked a bit about starting over, creating new goals or "resolutions" for the New Year, and let you in on some of my most important resolutions. Now that you've listed out the things you'd like to accomplish in 2013, what are you doing about it? It's great to have goals, but it's essential that you have a plan to accomplish them. In order to accomplish everything that you set out to do ask yourself daily, "What am I doing today to ensure that my dreams become my reality?". You should always be able to answer this question. If you can't, you know you need to do something!

Here's what I did today to ensure that my New Year's Resolutions are completed!

1. I prayed as soon as I woke up this morning & I will pray before I go to sleep. I forgot to pray before one meal, so I did it as soon as I remembered.
2. I joined Slim4Life and I've been sticking to my diet plan diligently!
3. I've posted a video and a blog post.
4. I complimented two people today.
5. I read five chapters of The Book of Mormon & The Bible.
6. I'm going to audition for a professional theatre company tomorrow.

There you have it friends. It may not seem like a lot, but as we complete these small daily goals we are adding to the bigger picture. By the end of the year all of these small daily goals we completed will have snowballed into some GREAT accomplishments!

So, what are YOU doing today to ensure that your dreams are becoming your reality? Let me know in the comments!

The Big Apple

Wow! In the four months since I have written, I have learned and grown so much. I was in a fantastic production of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" and learned so much about my strengths and weaknesses as a performer. I was so blessed to be a part of such an incredibly talented cast and crew and I am so thrilled that I was able to show both my voice and acting chops. It was an amazing experience, and it helped me grow as a performer so much. For that, I will be forever grateful.

I also moved to New York City. I never thought that I had the courage to get up and move across the country with only a suitcase. I didn't know a single person when I moved, I found a roommate online, and soon enough I settled into New York life. I feel so at home in New York. I know that I was meant to come here, and meant to learn so many lessons. I learned that I can not only make it living on my own, but I can thrive. I learned that my relationships with my friends and family will not die because I am away from them. I learned that I can make it as an actor, and I will. I also learned that I have SO MUCH to learn-- and I'm trying to be a sponge and soak it all up. I'll post with more details about exactly what I have been doing in NYC soon!

Times Square!

I will be back in Kansas City on November 17th until January 14th. Although I wish I could have stayed in New York, I know it's for the best. I know that I want to be with my mom during the Holidays and I know that I need to come home, work seasonally, and save up more money to head back to New York. I have so much more knowledge I know that when I return to NYC in January I am going to be incredibly successful. I know this with all my heart and I can't wait to show the world what Sarah Montoya can do!
