Unexpected Blessings

by Jenna Kantor

If you keep your eyes wide enough, you will see all the blessings in your own life. Everyone has them. This may be a bold statement to say to someone who is going through something truly rough, but I am choosing to focus on the positive right now. The blessings.
I just learned that my voice lessons (with an amazing teacher) are now going to be “free.” I have been working in my teachers office in exchange for cheaper voice lessons. In other words, instead of it costing 200 dollars, it would have cost around 100 dollars. Well, this is what I thought I was getting from my work … but I was wrong. Somewhere in the communication, I misunderstood. It wasn’t until my first voice lesson back in NY, … when I pulled out my checkbook … I learned that I was working to get the lesson completely for free! I was ready to cry right then. That was going to cost me at least 500 dollars per month … and now that expense is gone. Yes, I am totally putting in the time and working for it, but it is soooooooo worth it! I feel like G-d has come down and kissed me!
Now it’s your turn. Anything like that happened to you recently or in the past. I admit, my example is not so small, but I had to find an excuse to share this amazing venture that is going to help me pursue my dream. Okay … back on topic. Your turn. Tell me of an unexpected blessing you have experienced. Like I said before - it doesn’t matter how larger or how small. A blessing is a blessing.

    Once again, I am going to reiterate that I am not a fan of counting down a show. I don't know when my next show will be, so I want to cherish every moment I have on that stage. I may be exhausted [...]

    This is something that happens all the time in the industry. It's impossible to avoid. I have definitely been one to be a part of it. We've all done it even if we'd like to think we don't. The worst [...]

    When I heard the news this afternoon, it was my instinct to go into denial. Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital? He couldn't be dead. He's Michael Jackson. He will have more time on this [...]

    I spend most of my money for this business. In many ways, I do not or barely make enough back that covers all of those expenses. I don't think people realize the costs of being a performer. It's not [...]
