Su'll aria...che soave zeffiretto

I simply do not even know how to begin to talk about this past weekend in Miami.  
I feel absolutely overwhelmed with love and support. I have so many pictures and stories and feelings.

I was meant to meet Rima.  
We are meant to be friends.  
I am meant to listen to her beautiful wisdom.
I had no idea what to expect from this past weekend but it filled my heart and touched my soul.
I had so many burning questions answered and I feel a renewal of my love for my talent.
I love falling in love with music over and over again.

I performed with the Ars Flores Symphony Orchestra in the Miniaci Center in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.  Then we performed in Miami Beach at the Colony Theater on Sunday.  Rima and I sang the Mozart duet Sull' aria from The Marriage of Figaro.  
It was magic.
I am still processing the whole weekend.
I am speechless, maybe I can form better thoughts tomorrow.

Oh I cannot wait to read about your experiences! :) Your voice is a dream :) You & Rima both compliment each other beautifully! I had my little [usually wiggly] Brooks sitting on my lap while I watching the video and he sat and listened without moving...then when it ended he looked up at me like, "it's over?? more please" heehee Gorgeous music! :)
