Who I am

(As a writer). I am fascinated with the unpredictability and randomness of life. I am aware that where we begin is only by a ridiculous combination of chance and coincidence. What we do with these blueprints (our genes, our life), is then mixed up by another ridiculous combination of chance and coincidence. We can workContinue reading “Who I am”

Uta Hagen

Uta Hagen has been one of my distant mentors for a while now – maybe it’s because she’s German (as am I), and maybe it’s because she got the opportunity to play some unbelievable roles at an early age but she remained logical and practical and realistic about her career afterward. She also saw the value inContinue reading “Uta Hagen”

Cortisol

Six Tips To Lowering Your Cortisol Production: If you’re anything like me, you may be vulnerable to stress. I care about a lot of things. And when I care, I care A LOT. And while I try to incorporate yogic breathing and relaxation techniques on a daily basis, I sometimes need outside reminders that stressingContinue reading “Cortisol”

Conchita Espinosa Academy

I recently finished my tenure as a middle school theater teacher at Conchita Espinosa Academy. While there, I helped the school charter their Thespian troupe and proudly served as their Thespian Sponsor, filing paperwork, guiding students and working with the wonderful district and state sponsors for the national Jr. Thespian organization of Florida. As a school, and aContinue reading “Conchita Espinosa Academy”

My Pinterests

Fantasy Theatre Factory

I have had the pleasure of working with South Florida’s own Fantasy Theatre Factory since early 2013. Incorporated in 1982, Fantasy Theatre’s Mission is to cultivate, foster, sponsor and develop appreciation, understanding, taste and love of theatre arts among the general public-specifically children. Literature and Environmental Education are core components of Fantasy Theatre’s Mission. As literatureContinue reading “Fantasy Theatre Factory”

The Tempest

Unfortunately, I already knew I wasn’t going to be able to participate in the production: I had already arranged to go study with the Moscow Art Theater School in Russia this past January, when performances were to take place. However, Director Colleen Stovall graciously made other plans for me. While I wouldn’t be available for production, she still chose toContinue reading “The Tempest”

Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! First of all, I can’t sing the praises of our turkey roaster nearly enough! I believe it’s a stoneware and it seems overly huge every other day of the year, but every Thanksgiving it roasts a perfectly browned-but-moist turkey with such ridiculously little effort. All you have to do is find the “proper positioning,” addContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Projects!

This was “stolen” from Austin Kleon in his book “Steal like an Artist.” My sonnet sequence is somewhere between “dark night of the soul” and “it’s finished…” I have a musical between “this is the best idea ever!,” and “this is harder than I thought.” I’ll keep you all updated! In the meantime, I’ve beenContinue reading “Projects!”

Sticky J

Recently I was diagnosed with a health event that required my wearing a “medic alert” bracelet. This can be for anything from declaring what kind of medication you’re on to any severe allergies you have – anything you would want to communicate to a health practitioner if you were unable to speak for yourself. IfContinue reading “Sticky J”

Grow your own Avocado Tree from a pit!

If you’re anything like me, I LOVE avocados! This year we decided to start playing around and see what would happen if we tried to grow a plant from an avocado pit (after we ate it, of course!) so we can eventually grow our own avocados. Needless to say, it worked! In fact, it hasContinue reading “Grow your own Avocado Tree from a pit!”

A Flat Belly

There are many layers of muscles involved with “good abs.” One layer can be generalized as the “broad muscles,” which wrap around the trunk in 3 different layers; the “rectus abdominis,” that stretches down the front of your belly; and many internal muscles that are less obvious but still participate in the function of theContinue reading “A Flat Belly”

Dip Dyed Hair

Have you heard of dip dyed hair? I have found more people in Europe have attempted this look than people in America, although you may have spotted it on young American trendsetters such as Demi Lovato or Lauren Conrad. The reason this trend for long hair is so versatile is simple: you have options. WornContinue reading “Dip Dyed Hair”

Red Glitter Nail Polish

This effect was created with a solid red base coat (Orly in bus stop crimson) and a red glitter top coat (Black Poppy Nail Color).

Fasting

This article will not outline HOW to fast. I will tell you about my own experience with fasting but I believe that the process is as different for each person as we are different to each other. So, here you will find another advocate FOR the process of fasting, however long you wish to doContinue reading “Fasting”
