The Secret Garden

I am going to be in a show. A real live honest-to-goodness-I'm-an-actor-in-Portland show. I just got cast as Rose in The Secret Garden. She is one of the dead moms. Not the main dead mom, the other one. :) I still can't believe it.

Being in a show was one of my New Year's resolutions. BOOM.

And I'm just beginning. I'm so fresh on the scene I might as well be a Cabbage Patch doll. Someone tell me they had a couple of those as a kid. I kissed mine with lipstick when I was in Jr. High and the stains have never completely rubbed off. Whoops.

One more thing: wine and Glee are actually the perfect companions.

"You have strength enough. What you love, you will love. What you undertake, you will complete. You are a fulfiller of hope; you are to be relied on."

“Female friendships that work are relationships in which women help each other belong to themselves.”

"In the psyche, the bear can be understood as the ability to regulate one's life, especially one's feeling life. Bearish power is the ability to move in cycles, be fully alert, or quiet down into a hibernative sleep that renews one's energy for the next cycle. The bear image teaches that it is possible to maintain a kind of pressure gauge for one's emotional life, and most especially that one can be fierce and generous at the same time. One can be reticent and valuable. One can protect one's territory, make one's boundaries clear, shake the sky if need be, yet be available, accessible, engendering all at the same time."

- Clarissa Pinkola Estes

“There was a time when you were not a slave, remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter, you bathed bare-bellied. You say you have lost all recollection of it, remember . . . You say there are no words to describe this time, you say it does not exist. But remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent.”

― Monique Wittig
