Ladies & Gents. Down to the wire. Week 50 was December 11-17 and it. was. awesome. Mainly because I’m alive, healthy, happy and surrounded by love. However, these other things didn’t hurt:
- Best friend’s boyfriend’s birthday on 12/16. One of my favorite people in the whole world’s birthday on 12/17.
- I (super luckily) got to see HAND TO GOD at Ensemble Studio Theatre. An impossible ticket to get came via a last minute text. I got to reunite with a darling woman, run into many an industry folk AND, unbeknownst to me, there was a TALKBACK with the cast! There is nothing in the world like listening to creatives talk about their process <3 <3 <3
- Last minute holiday gathering party/attempt to bake vegan cookies together in my tiny kitchen/turns out I didn’t have anything we actually needed (“ohhh baking soda is not the same as baking powder??”) = hysterics ensued & love splattered everywhere.
- The pleasant reminder that saying yes instead of saying no basically ensures a whole lot more fun, people & laughter in one’s life.
- Auditions are not taken for granted! Every single one delights me so much.
- Catching up with my tour twin in a favorite nyc spot.
- “You just gave me goosebumps” as a response to a favorite how-did-you-meet story.
- Getting locked out & the relief of immediately having somewhere to go.
- Kind words exchanged; 4 am truths shared; grown up moves; best friend emails; bursting into tears in your living room and knowing you’ll still love me anyway.
- SHOPPING like a crazy person.
I can’t believe we’re in our last week of this year! I get so excited for new years. SO MANY NEW AMAZING POSSIBILITIES are on their way to us!! Check back for 51 and of course, 52. You’re seriously beautiful, see you soon! xx
