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
Putting the ‘fun’ in Acting Fundamentals
I taught my first Fundamentals of Acting class last week. I think it went really well – everyone left smiling and feeling jazzed and saying things like “Looking forward to next week!” I felt that way too. Oh, happy day! I drove home after Class One. Couldn’t sleep. Too excited. My mental skywriter was writing… Continue reading Putting the ‘fun’ in Acting Fundamentals
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
Cosmic creativity — say what?
This post was written before Hurricane Sandy started her march toward the coast. Today, I'm sending hopes and prayers for the safety and welfare of everyone in the path of the storm. *** This is my 26th post. Hard to believe that this blog is almost seven months old! The more I write, the more… Continue reading Cosmic creativity — say what?
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
Beauty fail, beauty win
A few weeks ago, I freaked out and bought some cosmetic spackle to "fill + seal" my frown lines. Yeah. I was killing time in the Barnes and Noble, and I wandered across an article in a fashion magazine about my 'elevens'. I didn't know about these until I read this article -- 'elevens' are… Continue reading Beauty fail, beauty win
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
Saying goodbye to RICHIE
On Saturday night, we concluded our nine performance run of RICHIE. Now, I am launched into catch-up mode. Catching up on sleep, on cleaning, on emails and phone calls and appointments and Candy-Land and cooking, catching up on the life that resided outside of the theatre bubble that I rolled around in for six high-speed… Continue reading Saying goodbye to RICHIE
