During the throes of Hurricane Dorian, Marianne Williamson apparently tweeted something like this, “Millions of us seeing Dorian turn away from land is not a wacky idea; it is a creative use of the power of mind.” She had spoken about us coming together to visualize the Hurricane subsiding, and, she was deeply ridiculed for this […]

There is no such thing as a finish line. It is merely an imaginary line we’ve drawn in on an imaginary page that says that we won’t go any further than that. I’ve had many finish lines in my life. They come with the decisions I make. The decision to stop having more children. The […]

I am one who encourages others to let go of their pasts and to move into the present. Then why am I taking the time to completely review my past under the guise of my one-woman show, “How I Came to Me…n”? As you can see from the title, I am reviewing it through my […]

For anyone who have been in the public eye in any way, we know we are always going to be critiqued. It seems to be our nature, as creative beings to critique everything. As a person who trained as an actor and singer, I was constantly under someone’s critique, whether it was my director, teacher, […]
