Getting Healthy

So this week I got a big wake-up call. Right now I’m prepping to audition for my college’s final Reperatory shows, and the role I read for in one play was that of a morbidly obese woman. While I know I am nowhere near morbidly obese, I am probably the biggest girl in my program. [...]

And so it is… the end of chapter II.

This week I began a course of Australian Bush Flower Essences. In a nutshell, Flower Essences are energetic preparations, made from flowers, that can be used to heal emotional and spiritual blocks.

Hello readers! It’s been a week of ups and downs, but mostly ups. The biggest challenge for me this week was eating properly, since it was easily the busiest week of my entire college life. I’ll explain. In the first chapter, I posted about having to do stage combat. Well, today was my final. This [...]

It’s how you place the blame.” – Oscar Wilde Where to start? This week has been a bust. Well, not a complete bust because I did do some things right, but other than that, it seems like not much has been accomplished. But that’s ok. Maybe sometimes we are just meant to sit back and [...]
