Rock Star Working Mom: My Crazy Beautiful Life
Hello Blog spotters...or whatever you are called. The people who read blogs. I am a 29 year old, Brown skinned Jamaican/Canadian working mother of three children (a gorgeous bi-racial 6 year old little girl version of me - and 16 month old twin boys...one white...one brown...TRUE STORY) who gave up a lucrative career as a Real Estate Agent (to have the twins) and I'm now diligently working on building my career as a performing artist. I'm doing all this while also building a new interior home care business (cleaning, organization & home staging) with my friends (also performing artists) for extra income and raising my young family. I'm the front woman for Halifax's only female fronted Progressive Metal band called AQuestrya, as well as the singer in a new hot female dance/glam/disco duo, a member of a dance troupe led by my youngest of two sisters, called NATURAL HABIT, an amateur home cook, a professional (ACTRA) actress model, and abstract visual artist. You name it...if it's some kind of art related talent...I'm doing it. I suppose I could include writer/blogger to that list now. I'm engaged to an amazing younger (white - hence the white baby) man (6 years younger in fact...what? I like 'em young LOL...wait....does that sound wrong? I think it sounds wrong) ...who left a well paid career in the Military to also pursue his passion for the arts. He is now a popular comedic performer in a well known Halifax burlesque troupe more famously followed in the Halifax gay community (he's loved by the guys and the gals...certainly makes one feel sexy *raarrr* claw*), a stunt performer working toward earning his credits to become an official Professional Stunt man, writer for the dirtyword.net, environmental & equal rights activist, absolute LOVE OF MY LIFE, and soon to be Journalism student at Dalhousie university. Our life can be pretty crazy as I'm sure you can imagine...but it's CRAZY BEAUTIFUL!! So...I wanna tell you about it. So come with me on the journey of ME: RockStar Working Mom, Peter Paranoia (my partner in crime) and our hilarious little princess sidekick and evil yin/yang demon spawn. Either you'll think we're nuts...or maybe...just maybe our passion and joie de vie among the insanity of child rearing will inspire you. I certainly hope it inspires other young women and men to know that you CAN DO IT!!! What ever "It all" is for you. Did I mention that we have Koreans that live with us???? Another story for another time.
