I really have felt very happy within myself since I went to the reunion.  Suddenly the success of my life was more clear.  or should I say the "successes" in my life were more appreciated.  I have embraced my work here, with a little bit more of 'destiny' to be so.  I have really not strayed very far from back stage in ddyt, and now I realised that that was meant to be for  me..... 

As you know I am working on costumes for "Wonderful world of Disney" school musical my son is in.  The Puma has been a challenge, but it is nearly finished.  The wow factor is there, which I must have.  The Beauty and the Beast scene was also a major challenge, but should also live up to my expectations..... so I felt a bit daunted before I came to the reunion, but now I realise I just have to get on with it, and do it as I really see it must be done.  It is not hard when you think that way.

I took my 18 year old daughter to a NIDA play in Sydney, a 3rd year production of Sweet Charity.  Wow.... for $25 it was as good as any you get anywhere.  I knew it would be excellent, but now I am convinced of the 'sexiness' of theatre talent.  Isn't youth soooo vibrant on stage.  As you know, she is interested in the Costsume Design course, so you need to see as much of their stuff as you can for the 'interview'.  Anyway, I love Fosse, and Cabaret style, so this was really perfect for us to see.  On the new Mel Gibson stage it is pretty smick.  I pointed out photos of Mark Little on the wall...... good stuff.  I pointed out that all the people in the foyer waiting to go in and see the show were exactly the same people at the reunion..... my kids thought that was funny.

All my love and kisses.  I will keep your show on my agenda. Pray for good outcome for you.

Love Larn
