Think Outside Your Box

A place for sharing views, dreams, and experiences with my friends and family.

Welcome to my "Voice Box"
#ThinkOutsideYourBox

"Becoming a Mother has been the most rewarding thing I've ever accomplished.

I feel more love, passion, and fulfillment in life; which in turn, enriches my artistry.

When my creative self is fulfilled, it makes me a better Mom." - Rachel Sparrow

Please join me in normalizing motherhood
within performing artists' culture.

#ThinkOutsideYourBox -a hashtag implying 3 things:

1. To be selfless - to think outside or beyond your own "box" or wants. Helping, healing, and uplifting others.

2. To celebrate the effort it takes to stretch yourself.

3. To empower one to cut through their proverbial
"box" made of societally-induced-parameters
that may limit or oppress their spirit.

Melodious Mama's Sing Again, at The Lyric Opera of Chicago, Winnetka Chapter

Yesterday, The "Melodious Mama's" reprized much of our concert from October (when we were all "expecting"!) for
The Lyric Opera of Chicago's Winnetka Chapter.
Such a lovely audience. Such a special time with them! We laughed, and shed tears, while sharing such exquisite pieces of humanity and Mommy songs!
I loved producing and performing alongside these brilliant folks.

The beautiful new Mom's: Soprano Ingrid Israel Mikolajczyk, (baby girl 4 months) and Mezzo Soprano Amanda Koopman (adopted son 2 yrs old)
Mr. marvelous Andrew Blendermann on the keys (yep, he's got two kids as well but he's not as new to the job, and not a mommy, but a fantastic Daddy!)

Following our program, we had a lovely luncheon with these wonderful ladies.
