Feeling Good – A Sixties Snapshot

Tickets are on sale now for Vocal Point’s Spring 2024 show: Feeling Good – A Sixties Snapshot. Unfortunately, I won’t be at the first show (May 31) because Burn opens on that day, also. But I should be able to sing in the second show. The music is a lot of fun. I highly recommend…

Eat Harder Foods to Lose Weight

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s newsletter had an item about the science of Overeating. Apparently, the texture of your food can cause you to eat more. Softer foods resulted in overeating. In fact, people were likely to eat more softer textured and less-processed foods. Than eating more-processed foods that had a harder texture. Which is unusual because people…

Pick an Idea

I have a spreadsheet where I’ve brainstormed some blog post ideas. And I’ve put tentative dates on when I want to write those posts. But when I go to write the post, I often don’t feel like writing about the topic scheduled for today. It should be simple. I should write the next thing on…

Whooping it up!

Yesterday, I was lamenting that there wasn’t a tool for me to stay on course with my goals. I wanted a goal-ometer or something to help me stay on track. Cue the woo woo music. This morning, I got an email. And it mentioned the WOOP process for achieving goals. The what? WOOP. It’s an…

Why is it so hard to stay on course?

You set a goal. And you move towards that goal. Why do we get distracted? Why do we veer off course? We have the best intentions. We WANT to do the thing… But… TV. Social Media. Laundry. Anything. There’s the analogy of airplanes being off course 90% of the time. And the only reason they…

I miss singing

I was reminded today of how fun it is to sing in a choir. I’ve had to take a hiatus from my choir (Vocal Point). Because I’m in a play and rehearsals are on the same nights as choir practice. But today, we were singing at a Senior’s Residence, and I was able to take…

Artistic Rehab Check-in #12

This week focuses on Recovering a Sense of Faith. The final “week” of the creative recovery focuses on trust and mystery. Trust that things unfold they way they are supposed to. We should stop trying to control the outcome. Cameron wants us to surrender to the creative process. Follow the prompts that appear. And we…

Running and Writing Convergence

Over the past couple of days, I’ve seen posts by two playwrights. They’ve had professional productions of a few of their plays. The thing is, I met them before they had written any plays. But I had written some when I met them. Theoretically, I was further along than they were. Their success has surpassed…

Wanting to Avoid the Sucky Part

The problem with writing a play is that you have to write the play. The writing is the sucky part. Or it is for a lot of people. It is for me, sometimes. It’s like exercise. I don’t like exercising, but I like having exercised. It’s great when I’ve done the writing. When I’m finished.…

First Run

I went for my first run last Sunday. It was two weeks after the Around the Bay race. I took it nice and easy. Four kilometers. Slow pace. I’ll probably run twice this week. And slowly get back into the swing of things. I haven’t picked another race to train for. But I want to…
