So much for that...

You know, that whole thing about writing once a week? It just ain't happenin'! So, feel free to check in when you feel like it and see if anything new is up. Perhaps if I stop trying to schedule it in, I'll naturally find time to write... That's the new plan. Organically creating my blog. Allowing the stories to unfurl like the tiny leaves of a seedling. We shall see.

Since I last wrote, I have:
- Seen the Creative Artist’s Agency building, locally dubbed The Death Star for it’s architectural design.
- Caught up with my friend Ed at the NYU Writer’s showcase.
- Signed with AVO Talent for voice-over representation – they are great!
- Celebrated my friend Melissa’s new path and recent birthday
- Started teaching a small group yoga class.
- Met lots of CD’s at CD workshops.
- Introduced Mom and Dad to LA.
- PERFORMED in the 2009 Cricketfeet Showcase!

This has got to be short because I need to catch you up on what’s been going on so I can post on my most exciting news tomorrow.

LA continues to be full of good people, and I’ve been fortunate to be part of two great groups – my teacher training group with Yoga Works and my cast and crew of the 2009 Cricketfeet Showcase. These folks make me feel welcomed and connected here in LA – I am so very grateful! I’ve run into some particularly lovely folks who I hope will become better friends – they’re the kind of person always ready to give an honest answer, a sly joke, or a hug. I am surrounded by them! Lucky me!!

I’m especially lucky that my housemate, Birdy, rocks my world even though we barely see each other. When we do get to hang out, it’s great conversation. We had a full house this past week between my parents and Theo with good times all around and the house abuzz with talk.

I’ve added Lemon Thyme, Spearmint, Regular Thyme and Oregano to my front porch plants. Theo and I ran out of thyme (ha, ha) to build the plant boxes I wanted for the backyard, so I’m on my own for that. Anyone have a drill I can borrow? On the garden list are cherry tomatoes, summer squash, garlic, sweet potatoes, cilantro, basil, and eggplant. The citrus bounty has been added to by Birdy’s friends’ heavily laden grapefruit tree. The peach tree in the back yard is covered in green, but ripening, baby peaches! Tiny peachlets, soon you will be ripe and juiceful.

Clarified that this point of my career is the investment part of starting a business – must put out before getting back. Point was proven in voting results at Cricketfeet Showcase. More on that tomorrow. Really!
