It's been over a year since my last blog post.* Much has happened since then including two birthdays for me, a new job, four shows, a trip to Disney World, a kiddo in kindergarten and other stuff that's too boring or too juicy to mention here. 2013 was checkered with life's crazy cocktail of events… Continue reading The Year of Clarity

To be continued as needed
This is it. Post #30. Hard to believe that I’ve been writing weekly posts for seven months now. Blogging has been way more fun than I anticipated and way more challenging too. That seems appropriate since I generally find life to be way more fun and way more challenging than I anticipate. These are the… Continue reading To be continued as needed
Praise for libraries, clogs…the list goes on
It’s that blessing-counting time of year again. It’s good, right? To be reminded once a year (cuz we need reminding!) to count our blessings and to explain to our kid what thanksgiving means. After this year’s explanation of thanksgiving/Thanksgiving/gratitude, my daughter told me she was thankful for lollipops. I told her I was thankful for… Continue reading Praise for libraries, clogs…the list goes on
Getting (or not getting) what you want on Election Day
Tomorrow is Election Day. It seems like a lot is at stake this year. Whew. Like many people, I will be on pins and needles hoping hoping hoping watching watching watching as the votes are tallied. My guy! My guy! My guy! I want my guy to win! Four years ago on Election Day, my… Continue reading Getting (or not getting) what you want on Election Day
A rather cranky meditation on fear
I’ve done many things I regret*. (No, I'm not going to list them here. Hee.) A few very big things, many medium and small things, and hundreds of teeny thoughts or words or actions that pile up drop by drop over time. Here I am wading up to my knees in regrets – I wish… Continue reading A rather cranky meditation on fear
Five for wheels-turning
So, just fyi, I'll be off next week for good behavior, and return again on Monday, Oct. 15. In the meantime, if you'd like to do some reading related to theatre, art-making, feminism, vulnerability or empathy, see the list of five below. I'd love to know if you have reactions to any of these. They… Continue reading Five for wheels-turning
Fifty smiley moments…delight without the cheese.
This is my TWENTIETH blog post. Yippee! Ten blog posts ago, I decided that every tenth post will be a list post. I'm hoping this one will support one of my pet personal projects – soaking up the delightful moments that life provides. I've done a lot of soul-searching over the last year – ok,… Continue reading Fifty smiley moments…delight without the cheese.
Time squeeze + full heart
Several events converged this weekend -- the usual last minute preparations for a show opening this coming Thursday and the sudden sickness of my eleven-year old cat. Despite having a lovely long weekend, the time I set aside to craft my weekly blog post was sucked away by hours spent in several different veterinary offices,… Continue reading Time squeeze + full heart
Good fit bad fit
I’ve been wearing bras in the wrong size for over 20 years! Gasp! So, there’s that. This shocking discovery occurred last Saturday, when I spontaneously decided to shop for better, nicer, less hateful bras than the ones I owned which were always annoying me with their back straps riding up or their shoulder straps falling… Continue reading Good fit bad fit
31 questions and then some…
I love questions. In particular, I love making lists of questions. Perhaps that's because life seems like a series of questions strung together over time [What are we doing? Where are my keys? What's next? Why did I say that? Who cares? etc.] Making lists of questions feels really empowering to me. I guess that's… Continue reading 31 questions and then some…
