Tonight, many of American sit in their homes feeling pretty certain that Joe Biden will be our next president, a mild sense of relief just over the horizon. It’s sad, really. I don’t think I’ve cared about an election more in my life, but it’s been very strange because I am simply not moved byContinue reading “American Wounds Run Deep”

You are a hero.
If you have landed here, you most likely wandered out of the Brink Conference looking for the worksheet that I promised in my short presentation in the expo hall. May blessings be upon you for watching most of the thing. Disclaimer: Months ago, when I first submitted my info to Jenna for the conference, IContinue reading “You are a hero.”
My first Juneteenth
I had heard of Juneteenth before June of 2020, but I wasn’t really listening or paying attention. Pre-COVID 19, a woman in my community was seeking engagement on our local Facebook Mom page. She had hosted an event last year, and this year a parade had been planned. When I read about the parade, IContinue reading “My first Juneteenth”
The Activism Show
Showing and doing are two different things. In acting, we call that telegraphing. It’s when you are deliberately showing everyone your intentions and making a display of your actions to the audience all the way to the punchline. In comedy, it’s the fastest way to kill a joke. In most work, it turns off theContinue reading “The Activism Show”
Universal Language
I am prone to finding messages in things that many call “coincidences.” I won’t even get into how most people interchange “irony” with “coincidence.” Alanis Morisette’s magnum opus to irony in the 90’s was just about a bunch of things that sucked. Most of them weren’t ironic in the text book sense…. but this blogContinue reading “Universal Language”
Delete this and all following events?
I cleared my Outlook calendar today. For a long time, I’ve simply left all my recurring clients and meetings on my calendar. At first, it was because I planned to return to business as usual once we had this Corona Virus thing all sorted out. Then, it served as a reminder of my work lifeContinue reading “Delete this and all following events?”
Real talk about my body
I broke the seal and filmed a workout for our club’s online portal. I have a couple of clients who are pregnant and so I made a short prenatal flow. Under most circumstances, I HATE watching myself on camera. Ironic because at one point in my life, I had plans to be a working actor,Continue reading “Real talk about my body”
Our market isn’t saturated, it’s drenched.
Overwhelmed. It’s an emotion that I feel on the regular these days. My only connection to the outside world is social media. When I log in to Facebook or Instagram, I’m inundated with more fitness, yoga, Pilates, and GYROTONIC professionals than I ever knew existed. Before the pandemic, these outlets were reserved for those thatContinue reading “Our market isn’t saturated, it’s drenched.”
The Work of Being Unemployed
Parents of young children. I see you. You’re between a rock and a hard place here. Children crave routine. They thrive when they know what’s coming next. A reliable routine should mean less acting out. I find myself spending the last hour before I go to bed every night making sure I have the elementsContinue reading “The Work of Being Unemployed”
Today, I’ll do my hair
My last post was a downer, but I don’t feel bad about it. It’s where I was at the moment and I knew other people would be feeling the same. Today is a new day. I had really solid night sleep last night, and I woke up feeling cheerful and refreshed. I did manage toContinue reading “Today, I’ll do my hair”
