New Beginnings...

Who else to welcome in the New Year?

I took a prolonged break from this blog.  I felt overwhelmed by the technology, the concept of social networking, and while I was going through the process of getting married I didn't want to share my thoughts and feelings across the web.  I actually do believe some things are private, such as ones home life.

I am back.





For the coming year I have several resolutions:

1. To teach acting
2. To live simply
3. To save money
4. To exercise consistently

Beyond these simple goals (which in private I have concretized --- because without specifics, there can be no success).

I will writing here about my personal journey as both a person and an artist....two roads that are inseparable.  I welcome your comments and feedback.  Let's build a community of like-minded people, dedicated to living well and making beautiful things.

Caring for Self

I find taking care of myself an endless challenge. I break down almost constantly, in little ways that annoy me no end. The bursitis in the foot, teeth need to be cleaned, I gain weight I never intended to put on, I need new eyeglasses. All of it needs attention. The list of self-care necessities just goes on and on ---- and I know from watching those ahead of me age that it is absolutely necessary to do these things every day or it will come back to bite you in the ass later in life.

So what do I do?

I do it all. Not perfectly, not 100% consistently but to the best of my ability one day at a time (to use an old saw).
