My title refers to my move to New York, a homecoming of sorts. The last time I wrote, my move was 6 months away--so, yes, I've allowed too much time to pass without writing.
It's not that I have nothing to write about. My life has been fulfilling, meaningful, and full of joy lately (with its' share of challenges too). I've recently finished my studies in Core Strengths Coaching, a form of life (and executive) coaching that draws on the client's strengths, and works with these strengths to help the client work toward specific goals. I've been combining my creative arts training and experience, and tweaking it to use with coaching clients, and I look forward to creating a coaching practice in New York. But, this is not all I'm doing...
I've decided, in addition to my outside writing (outside of this blog) to get back into creating and performing original work, especially work inspired by my life, and my challenges growing up -looking so different. I've been in the director role lately, working on one man/woman shows, but I miss working on my an original piece of my own, and I miss performing.
We all have something that makes us self-conscious--especially as kids, right? I'm willing to share my experiences with an audience (hopefully) in a way that I hope will be moving, maybe even inspiring and motivating. It's all connected to this blog too--and my desire to create and share meaningful work with the world. I'm not saying these posts are necessarily awe-inspiring--but they're honest and reflect my feelings/thoughts/musings in this present moment.
Right now I'm feeling some excitement in sharing this with you, even though my description (so far) is quite vague. I'm at the beginning stages with this solo theatre piece. I may name it "The Birthmark Project," but maybe not. I'll share more with you as I develop the piece.
I leave you with this question: What is beauty?
Please, if you feel comfortable, share your comments. I am interested in what you have to say.
