I have this haunting fatigue that is making every part of my body feel like it weighs a million pounds. Standing is a problem.Holding my head up is a victory.Typing is a something.Thinking of words is hard. ARghhhhhhhh….. I had such a lovely weekend. Why do I feel like I spent two days pounding tequila??Continue reading “Holy Poo I’m Tired”

Sometimes I miss Washington, DC. But it’s not the things you might expect. I miss my students. I miss their unadulterated and unashamed faith. It seems that certain cultures… (white people mainly) are rather reserved when it comes to matters of faith. We have mastered the art of separation of church and state. But inContinue reading “Singing Gospel Music”

I’ve been thinking about the idea of “ordinances of the flesh” and balance for the past week. The soul is the spirit and the body. I feel unbalanced as a person. I excel in things of the spirit. I love to contemplate spiritual things and I feel I dedicate myself to spiritual joy. But IContinue reading “Finding Balance-A Follow Up to the Previous Post”

Women and the Priesthood. I’ve been thinking about this all week. I have had several conversations with women I really respect about this topic. And they’ve come down on either side of the issue, for very good reasons. And so I percolate. I have been listening, praying, reading, listening, and formulating thoughts. And I’m notContinue reading “Why I Haven’t Written About "Ordain Women" Until Now”

Ever since I can remember, there’s been music. I can’t live without it. It is everything. And I don’t even think I’m that good at it. I chose theatre over music. There were a lot of reasons why, but I think it came down to wanting music to be my own private joy. Right nowContinue reading “Lotsa Music”

This video speaks for itself. I want to talk about my own particular sins with regards to objectification. I know that good hygiene and proper care for oneself invites success, but I have this ingrained notion that I cannot be successful if I don’t look the part of a successful woman. I must have perfectContinue reading “Object”

Dearest Readers, I apologize profusely for not writing lately. As a result of not keeping up, there are several topics I’d like to explore. 1) I like kissing. I haven’t kissed anyone since December and I don’t foresee kissing anyone for a while. This is discouraging to me as I feel I have a greatContinue reading “Catching Up. Where I Talk About A Lot of Things.”

                                                       Friday night, I joined my friend Blair Howell to see Pioneer Theater Company’s out of time production of Much Ado About Nothing.  I was delighted with the universe–the design concepts helped to highlight the characters’ journies, rather than fight against them. Often times, I find myself pulled in two creative directions–distracted by the worldContinue reading “Much Ado About Nothing at Pioneer Theatre Company”

I can only remember snippets now because it’s been a couple of hours. My mom was in it. She was trying to do something, but I didn’t know if it was possible. I was trying to help her. But I don’t remember what it was. The clearest memory I have is that I had inventedContinue reading “Crazy Dream/Crazy Life”

Lots of faiths give a tithe to God. Lots of people share their bounty with the poor. It’s one of those constants across all societies. And some look at tithing as though it were this evil conspiracy to take money from the hands of hardworking people. I don’t see it that way. My dad isContinue reading “Tithing”
