What a difference a YEAR makes, right?
Ok, it's been just about 525,600 minutes since the last one (you'll get that reference if you're a musical theatre buff). Now that I'm officially no longer a member of the RAT RACE, I really should have time for doing this every damn day, shouldn't I?
My MOH (that's maid of honor, she knows who she is), just was reminding me earlier today about The Artist's Way, and talking about the daily writing discipline. You get up early every day, and write 3 pages, and then never read them again. Ever. I described this as an artist "exfoliating" the muse as it were. It's building up muscle memory to just get the creative engine tuned up and warmed up. All part of the ritual of creativity and art, right?
And how exactly is it that I am (still, at this ripe old age) trying to find my focus.
We are in the process of readying for a new upgraded computer. Me and technology - we have storied history, we do. Trying to coordinate files and folder to transfer to a new computer when the time is right. I did manage to retrieve one of the many back up drives, and found some choice nuggets of writing; mine, my siblings, the original Vault Goddess' pre-final India trip emails, and photos too. But I was most struck by the old "movies" I had created. My son's surprise HS graduation party. My mother-in-law's 90th birthday party movie "(Her Name) In Her Own Words." OMG. I just realized that was the first In Her Own Words movie I created. The second was the one I accidentally directed last year in April 2021 for a women's play festival titled In Her Own Words, right? Is the universe trying to tell me something?
Since it's been a minute since I posted any photos, let's do that now. Something from the Treasure Vault that hasn't been floated in a while:
One of my favorite actresses! :) I wrote an article about Muriel on my blog a while back because I didn't know how to get it to the newspapers. Reposted it on my facebook for her 101st birthday. What an amazing woman she was!
