Yes, it’s true, internets. ROUND TWO IS HAPPENING.

You followed along for every awesome week of 2011 - all 52 of them had awesomeness to rock the fuck out to - and now we shall dance in the glory that is 2012.

Week 1 was Jan 1-Jan 7:

• After a swift kick in the pants from my momma, I went full throttle back into my career and have seen the glory that is the universe responding to your hard work & choices.
• First voice lesson (in, oh, I don’t know, a year?) with my brand new kick ass teacher.
• First time I’ve felt pure JOY while singing in…YEARS. (see: above)
• I signed up for multiple ECC auditions and went to my first one back on my game.
• Attended a great, free workshop on the whole “move to LA/stay in NYC” debate. Yes, these workshops exist.
• Contacted for three awesome auditions - two at literally the exact same time (while the phone rang, an email popped up). The words Lincoln Center were involved.
• Changed up the furniture in my room, updated my shower curtain, cleaned the whole apartment, feng shui-ed the place .. fresh takes on a new year :)
• Finally saw WAR HORSE (at Lincoln Center, not at the movies). Sobbed, covered my eyes, verbally responded out loud, made friends with my seat neighbors, etc. Testimony to the beauty that is this show: Nick Jonas was there and everyone ignored him. Everyone.
• Farewell dinner for my bestie leaving town to go on tour (again) and a farewell party for another darling friend leaving to go on tour (again).
• Playdates with pals I never get to see and pals I get to see a lot. You are loved, dear ones.
• HENRY RETURNED TO NYC after a few months of keeping his grandma company in NJ. Let us rejoice! I love that bear so much.

Why do this? Why track the awesome? WHY NOT?! Every day comes with new adventures and incredible joy. Instead of focusing on the frustrations, annoyances and blahblahblah of the day - focus on the GREAT. Kerry On, friends. Go forth and live awesomely! xx
