I have decided today to make a Theatre Thursday post. It's been awhile. Sometimes I don't have a ton to say. Sometimes I am not home where all my pictures are to make a post about one of the shows I have been working on (today is a good example of this problem, but I… Continue reading Devising Creativity – Creating from Scratch in High School Theatre

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 8
I am coming to realize that a person really only has two choices in life - to cultivate an attitude of gratitude and a giving spirit or an attitude of bitterness and arrogance.

Thanksgiving Week in the Books
This week has been a week of rest and relaxation... somewhat by force. On Saturday John raked the leaves in the yard. The pile was HUGE. Then he and Kimber played with the kids in the leaves. It was super cute. I took Lilli to see an interesting performance at Willamette University called Future Voices. … Continue reading Thanksgiving Week in the Books
