I signed up for a class in creating a solo show. I did Part 1 in the fall. Part 2 starts in a couple of weeks and ends with a performance. That I will do. In front of, you know, people. I’ve wanted to do this […]

Stop, Drop, & Ask
Posted on
One of my practices for 2018 is to stop trying to GET anyone to anything. I really don’t want to spend my time and energy convincing, defending, insisting, working to get anyone to want what I want or agree with what I believe or see […]
What is it time for?
Posted on
We are here not just to grow but to transform. Transformation starts with a change so profound, it makes the old life–the one we had been living up until that moment, impossible. It shatters it, or some aspect of it, and we are suddenly no longer the same. The change […]
