Today I am grateful for reasons and reason. I am grateful for a reason to get out of bed, for a reason to look forward, a reason to love, and reason to smile. I am grateful my reason that teaches me that in the face of adversity, I have faced mountains, and come off conquerorContinue reading “Reasons and Reason”

It was a short conversation. Probably meaningless to my boss. He recounted a conversation he had with another colleague looking to work with the company.  He said that I was his ace in the hole.  Me! He didn’t need to tell me about the conversation, but he did.  And it made me smile. Today, IContinue reading “Ace In The Hole”

I am struggling to honor my goals this weekend.  I wish I could understand this urge I have to rebel against good things for myself. I have done good things this weekend, but for some reason I’ve intentionally avoided meditation, scripture study, and prayer. I even stopped myself from blogging yesterday in an effort toContinue reading “Thinking”

March comes in like a lion. They say depression is anger turned inwards. I am trying to turn my anger out. But perhaps there’s more fear here than anger. I love the theatre. I love doing theatre and there are people that I love doing theatre with. I do not love that theatre people canContinue reading “The Lion Turned In”

Today is February 28, 2013. 1 year ago today,  we had just closed the show To Kill a Mockingbird.    Our very own Dill, Scout, and Jem. So talented!  5 years ago today, I was performing with Maryland Shakespeare Festival in Wild and Whirling Words directed by Megan McDonough. 10 years ago today,  I workedContinue reading “A Great Day”

There’s a skit on Saturday Night Live that I actually really like right now. I like it because it is horribly well timed for my generation/age/predicament. It’s called, What Have You Become? You can view it here:  http://www.hulu.com/watch/457668 In the game, each of the contestants are smiling about their average to mediocre lives. Then theContinue reading “What Have You Become?”

This is picture of the sky over the Potomac River.  This is a picture of the sky near my childhood home in Tremonton.  I took this photo when I was flying somewhere.  This is a picture of the sky reflected in the Great Salt Lake. This is a picture of Nick when we went toContinue reading “Feeling The Blue”

On Saturday, with the blizzarding that was happening around me, I asked an older homeless couple if they would mind helping me clean up one of the floors in the storage facility. They were happy for the work that would help preserve them from the cold. I was grateful that I didn’t have to leaveContinue reading “Attraction”

Apparently Mercury is in retrograde which is apparently a reason for feeling discouraged. I spent the day at work watching the snow start and stop all day long. For a minute, I thought I might be stuck at work for the night because the snow flew so hard and fast. Today’s post is going toContinue reading “What A Wonderful World”

Today I feel like poo. There is a fire alarm that is beeping at me incessantly. I press silence. 5 minutes later it beeps again. I get up. Press a button. 5 minutes later it beeps again. This has been going on all day. I spent the morning watching security footage to see what wasContinue reading “A Disturbance in the Force”
