I'm getting such wonderful responses for JOSEPH, which officially opened this weekend. Should have some photos on my site soon. What has been particular interest to me is the Bible verses concerning Joseph. This is where some real historical insights to the 'show' character have surfaced. I'm reading a book called HOW TO STOP ACTING by Harold Guskin, and it's very enlightening and helpful presently. My Mom's house is up for sale, and her open houses are going incredibly well. Our family is so pleased this new phase of Mom's life is beginning. For all of us, in many ways. More later...

What would we do without the healing effects of music? It is an elixir for the soul. I have been listening to my favorite tunes this morning, from pop to neo soul to country. I also heard LOVES DIVINE by Seal today and it made me think of what love is. At the end of the video, there is an older mixed race homeless couple asleep on the street. Or I remember a lyric in a song about a spouse bathing the other spouses ailing mother. THAT is love. Pure acceptance and support with no conditions. 'Romantic' love is real yes...but it is not as profound, lasting and transcending.

India Arie sings in BACK TO THE MIDDLE "if you let your fears keep you from flying you will never reach your heights"...There are people who want to keep you in their contained box of what you are, when really WE define who we are. JOSEPH is going well, I am thrilled and honored to be playing this role, so much to learn from. The mind has a tendency to look back in the past, and there is only living in the moment and leaning toward brightness in the future. With the heart. Life is in motion at the moment...faith, courage and wisdom.

I am really blessed right now. JOSEPH rehearsals started yesterday and it is a warm, wonderful group of professionals, and an efficiently run theatre. I still can't believe I'm the lead...I keep wondering when they are going to say "oh we made a mistake, you're fired!" :) Everything seems to be falling into place..I feel like I have a real career at the moment, and I feel great. You have to take life with the good and the bad, and it feels good to be in the 'good' mode presently...I have been with the bad times yes and I am sure there will be more..it seems this is life's process..ebb and flow.
