as the weeks progress, i am grateful for the life and home i am creating here in this new place. change is difficult and i have - and expect to again - shed tears over the suddenness of it all. i am still grieving the life i had in virginia and i miss so many dear people and places and things. please know i think of you daily and will reach out when my mind settles a bit more. there is so much i want to say. life can move fast. slow down when you can - like i tried to today (visiting a traditional japanese house and garden, accidentally stumbling upon a fall fair, and having a very british afternoon tea solo with a book). breathe. xx

happy 4th birthday to my son

we once shared a womb
nowadays we’re apart
today we’re in the same room
full is my heart

lucky to have gone around the sun 27 times with you
here’s to at least 27 more

the world and my life are so much better with you in it

love you lots like jelly tots

What a WEEK! Save the date for March 4th for the opening of The Mortification of Fovea Munson through the Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences!

I am so grateful to have played a part in the development of this truly terrific show. Thank you to every single person who welcomed me into the space, shared their talents, and brought everything they could to this workshop!

I had an AMAZING time assistant directing @mgrahamsmith and working with team writing, @marywinnheider @justinhuertas and @steven_nk_tran ! If you are not following them already DO IT NOW they are all up to such amazing things! I cannot thank them enough, I learned so so so so much!

And if you haven’t read the book of The Mortification of Fovea Munson yet…order it NOW! (Though it may be difficult because it is on back order at several places…👀)

Once again, THANK YOU!

What can I say? “Dead bodies taught me about life” 🤍
