Christmas and New Year have come and gone and I feel like I weathered the holiday eating very well! I didn't binge on sugars and fats. I tried to be mindful of the food I ate and tried to choose foods that were high in nutrition. The food I made for Christmas Eve and for… Continue reading Holiday Eating Success!

Chinese “Chicken” Salad
This is a family favorite. However, since I have given up eating animal products, I needed to modify it for my new lifestyle. I made this salad for our New Year's Eve traditional meal. Only I left the chicken on the side and made a baked tofu on the side for me. Everyone was able… Continue reading Chinese “Chicken” Salad

Wendy’s Vegan Christmas Chocolate Orange “Cake”
Okay... a few explanations to begin with... This "cake" is dense! I think it has the texture of a cheese cake. I added no processed sugars, using dried fruits and juices instead of sugar. However, I do add fats and used those dried fruits, so it doesn't quite fit the Eat to Live and End… Continue reading Wendy’s Vegan Christmas Chocolate Orange “Cake”

When I started #bethelight 62 days ago I felt good. I felt like I was making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. Working on #bethelight made my holiday season memorable!

Resigning as the General Manager of the Universe
What a great week! John returned from visiting his parents. His mom gave him this beautiful tea cup owned by his Great Grandma Lillian Brockbank. He had a good visit with his family. The last lunch he ate with his dad was a memorable lunch. As he was entering the lunch room, he witnessed a young lady getting ready to play the Grinch. During the meal the Grinch came in and would “steal” the residents presents. People were also asked if the wanted to have a picture with Santa or the Grinch. Grandpa Boyack said he didn’t care for a picture, but they didn’t hear him and posed with him anyway. When the picture was done, he whispered to John, “Tell the Grinch she has nice legs.” LOL. That is so funny!

Off Book Tutorial
I do hope the cast members of the shows we are working on took the opportunity to memorize their shows over Christmas break! Off Book is approaching!
Resigning as the General Manager of the Universe
All of my little actors will be in the full swing of rehearsals next week. We will be diving into blocking and dance rehearsals. “Off book” is in 2 weeks. It’s time to work on getting the lyrics to songs and the lines of their scenes down!
Many young actors struggle with memorization. However, learning lines is part of the job! There really isn’t much out there on memorization technique curriculum.
I decided I would do a little research and even share a few of the tried and true ways I use to get my lines or lyrics down.
Like all new skills, memorization takes practice!

Resigning as the General Manager of the Universe
The holidays are like a race way. Days go speeding by. You think you may have a free day and you want to make the most of it…

You find yourself thinking of the days when you would wake up and just “be.” You find yourself happy about the sunshine, singing to yourself. You want more days like those days!
“Forever is composed of nows.” — Emily Dickinson
