Third year at Juilliard marked the beginning of my "Morning Pages". My close friends and family know that I've spent almost every morning for the past two years with my green smoothie, tea and journal. Julia Cameron's book, "The Artist's Way", taught me morning pages, which are three pages stream of thought to begin the day.

I was much more in touch with my heart and I wanted to continue hearing myself clearly.
