Once upon a time, I got to perform with Jim Dale. It was incredible. Every night was this beautiful adventure with an amazing, generous, and talented actor. And in the audience, his beautiful Roanne watched with this bright, vibrant smile. I remember her hand on my arm as she shared her love. It was theContinue reading “A Love Story”

A couple of years ago, I started going out with a guy from church. He was very nice, very together, and I felt like a lucky girl. Two red flags stood out to me though. 1) He blamed his divorce–everything–on his ex-wife.2) He made me feel I wasn’t good enough. One day, we were sittingContinue reading “Hindsight”

I wanted to learn something this week. I didn’t know what to ask for though. It came into my mind that I should focus on light. So I tried to think about light. Stars, sunlight, moonlight, Light of the World, darkness, light under a bushel… Lots… of light. I was overwhelmed by the breadth ofContinue reading “Lessons of Light”

Last week, my brother Nick asked me my thoughts on the patriarchal order. I had to think about it for a moment, but then this thought came flowing into my mind. The kind of thought that makes you seem really smart–but you’re learning just as much as the person you’re speaking to… I told himContinue reading “Connection”

Michael Merzenich, a renowned neuroscientist, says this about the brain: “Now, one of the characteristics of this change process is that information is always related to other inputs or other information that’s occurring in immediate time, in context. And that’s because the brain is constructing representations of things that are correlated in little moments ofContinue reading “Creation”

I’m reading the post on Rosh Hashanah from the tumblr–Just Say Amen Already.  And the song playing in the background is “I don’t know Who I am, Who I am…” by Missy Higgins. So that’s me in this present moment. Saturday. I am having a difficult moment trying to figure out where to start. IContinue reading “Being Eve”

I’m sorry. I know I didn’t post all week. Here’s the thing. I really try to write with two guidelines in mind. 1) Be Grateful2) Be Present/Real/Authentic I know I am writing with the purpose of expressing daily gratitude–but I never want it to be sunshine and unicorns, unless I’m really feeling that. Last week–IContinue reading “10”

Last night I went back to the old apartment to clean. I went alone. I could feel this weight of stress and sadness press on me as I prepared to leave the place I had called home from May 2011 to August 2013. That’s a long time for me to live in one place. It’sContinue reading “Saying Goodbye Is Important”

I woke up at 9:55am yesterday. I knew it would be a long day and I wanted to get as much rest as I could. I had stopped packing at about 2 am–so it was a good 8 hours. I felt ready to go. At 11am-Joe showed up ready to go. We walked over aContinue reading “Many Hands (The one where I use the word "Then" a lot)”

Yesterday, I couldn’t wait to leave work to go and paint my new apartment. I counted the hours. But then when it came time, I was so scared. I stood there in front of the wall. I turned on my music and let it play on random. Every song that came on gave me theContinue reading “Change”
