Yesterday, I went to a funeral for a beautiful woman. Her name is Janice. Her husband got up in front of everyone at the funeral and shared beautiful stories about their life together. I loved the stories. I loved the light in his eyes as he shared the stories. I’ll never be able to adequatelyContinue reading “Getting Closer”

My Weaknesses
Thursday morning started with a boot on my car. Apparently, I had forgotten to pay a ticket–it was for having expired registration stickers 2 years ago. I think I even had the stickers, I just hadn’t put them on the car yet. This is how I am though. Sometimes when you have a glass isContinue reading “My Weaknesses”
Watching the Series Finale–no spoilers
As I drove into the parking lot at Brewvies, I saw the line stretch out from the doors. I found a space in the next lot. I knew it was going to be sold out, but I came anyway. It was. Every last seat had been taken for the series finale. And I was aContinue reading “Watching the Series Finale–no spoilers”
RENT at The Project
I’ve seen RENT many many times… And it really never gets old. When I was first introduced to the play over a year ago, I thought–“Why would I care about a show about a bunch of people who don’t want to pay rent? I pay my rent, thankyouverymuch.” And although, I tend to empathize moreContinue reading “RENT at The Project”

I’m trying to find the words to express my fondness for this company and my time spent working on the Blackfriars stage. I met amazing people. I heard beautiful stories told in clever and creative ways. I learned core theatrical values. IContinue reading “Happy Birthday American Shakespeare Center!”
Feeling Better
Things have felt really dark lately. It’s hard to write a gratitude blog when things feel so dark. I’ve been tired and hopeless. Apathetic. Fuzzy. Unmotivated. And tired. I finally bit the bullet Sunday night and asked my dad to help me pay to see a homeopathic doctor that I’ve come to trust. He saidContinue reading “Feeling Better”
Lady Bane Cannot Sing Herself To Sleep
As you can see, I’m in bed right now. I was planning on snuggling under the covers and playing a couple of the rehearsal tracks Ben recorded for me last night. (shameless plug:concert at Le Jardin on Friday, Nov 8th) But I realized I can’t sing myself to sleep anymore. When I was a kid,Continue reading “Lady Bane Cannot Sing Herself To Sleep”
Breaking Bad
I want to write about this. The hard part is writing about something that’s still happening. And not giving away spoilers. I would never give up spoilers. It takes the fun out everything. But I will discuss themes. So here’s the theme from the latest episode. Just living isn’t enough. You have to live FORContinue reading “Breaking Bad”
Heaven On Earth
Let’s do an analogy. Let’s say that this is a picture of the brightness of heaven. A veritable fireball of truth and light. And let’s say that this picture represents each of us. Little points of truth and light floating in the vast sky. This is what happens when lots of little stars come togetherContinue reading “Heaven On Earth”
