A Really Awesome Night!

Tonight I had one of those totally unexpected really awesome nights. I called my friend Deborah and asked her if she wanted to go to a concert in the park with me. It was one of those times when we could both go so we were already excited. As I waited for her, my friend …

Respect Your Food

Last night I drove out to my friend, Lorna’s, farm to deliver the pitchfork she lent to the theatre as a prop for “Comic Potential”. I had perfect timing as she was just getting ready to start her evening feeding chores. I first walked with her into her new barn to feed the male goats. …

What is Wisdom?

Sunday afternoon at women’s group, we decided to skip the Revelations reading and look at the second chapter in Proverbs. Proverbs is my favorite book of the Bible but I’ve never stopped to think about one of the most basic questions until Angie asked if anyone had anything they noticed or wanted to discuss. I …

Dog Mountain: Most Difficult

The upside down sign, “Most Difficult”, should have been my first clue. The 36 degree upward trail should have been my second. Deanna and Jessica, who are both quite fit, blazed their trail while my smoldering ember of self lagged behind. About three switch backs into the hike, my legs were already tired. About five, …

I have to admit, I’m pretty proud of this particular accomplishment. Some time ago, my sister put our home videos when we were small onto a DVD and she gave me a copy. I didn’t even know these videos existed and it was truly life altering to see them. I especially watch them when I …

When God Grinned

A few months into learning to tap dance, I was lying on a friend’s couch where I was house sitting and asking God, “Why tap dancing of all things?” The answer he gave me that day inspired this story. It’s one of those stories that is true in the deeper sense, the kind where it …

My Fair Lady Sneak Peek

I have been wondering how long it’s going to take to get the lines of Comic Potential out of my head. It seems when I see a show so much, lines come into my thoughts, make themselves at home, and stay for quite some time. I’m going to miss them. The cast I mean. Well, …

I Go to the Sea to Breathe

This morning I was reading my Bible and thinking, “I really need to go to the beach!” With all the time I have been spending at the theatre, house sitting, and working on my computer, I desperately needed to breathe. Every so often, I’ll feel like I’m suffocating so I’ll do precisely what I did …
