facing ourselves
Deep summer greetings to you all! I hope this finds you healthy and managing as well as can be expected in these complicated times. I heard something recently from creatrix and muse, Beth Lapides: “Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s bad.” I love this very much and I offer it to you. These are…

June. Bam.
Here we are mid-year kind of! It’s a been a busy one so far, between acting, teaching, and helping my DH with his knee recovery. It’s also been uncharacteristically chilly here in Los Angeles.

march or stroll
For me, early March is one of those liminal times — not quite winter anymore, yet not quite spring yet either. I’ve been loving dressing for these in between times — thoughtfully choosing the items that, together, signal this threshold time.

squirts, gushes & the occasional whiff
Hiya, mates! During these last few weeks in Los Angeles, it’s been alternatingly raining hard and shining brightly. Literally, and quite possibly figuratively. But there’s a lot of beauty in those natural displays most of the time. On the acting front, I had my first commercial avail of the year – that’s like a big…

Hey 19
Happy New Year! I had some sweet holiday times with close family and powerful theater back east. And now it’s back to LA and all that that entails.

Janine, the fun, cool mom to the titular “Premenstrual Margot” played by the marvelous Giselle Torres. One of the visual details of the…
