I Worked for a Dead Communist Theater Producer for 20 Years
How am I feeling right now? With the new year beginning soon? How is last year sitting with me? I had hopes for this past year. I truly did. But that which is grater than all of us had another plan.

Well, Mother Nature
Today is another chance to care for myself. The sky gave me a refresher. A turning to myself and others. My neck, my hip, both stiff from overuse and age. Head feeling the Klonopin.

Places Still Have Names
I just visited Beacon, New York for the first time. It was absolutely stunning, gorgeous, diverse, fun, and mind clearing to get out of the City for the day.

Unscripted Daily Marathons
Changing Life With a Fresh Start Three months after my boyfriend, Jay, passed away, I was living life from my bed. I would leave my room for three things: peppermint green tea, cheese doodles, and Ben and Jerry's. Daily marathons of Real Housewives would keep me numb. There were days I would roll out of bed, onto the floor, and pull on my own hair just to stand up.

People I've Lost

Accompanied By My Small Documentary Crew

My Dream Job Has Always Been "Rockstar"
I Can Stop At Any Time I can either stop, and avoid a challenge, or find a way to climb that wall. And if I can't climb it, I can do everything in my power to go around it, dig under it, or maybe even plough right through.

The Biggest Testosterone Booster Shakespeare Ever Wrote
Your Memories Change Honor your memories, no matter how they come to you. See if your memories still hold up. Break the cycle of negative behaviors. Allow new passions to manifest.
