It's Been a While
Welcome back!
It's been a while since I have been here. I guess I needed some space to think about life
for a while. Sometimes I just need to breath a different kind of air once in a while. It's funny, you know. Sometimes I just need to look at life from a different perspective and I start seeing all the news I could do things.
This past spring I shared some great moments with some beautiful people. Creating a production that just sticks with me. It's not that I want it go away, it just moved me to a new direction in my life. I was challenged by the need to see others grow in new directions in their lives. Not just as actors, but as people contributing to the greater good.

| Playwright Jeffrey Sweet |
Court Martial at Fort Devens, by Jeffrey Sweet, was an amazing production that I thought could stand the test of time. There was something about the deliverance of the piece. The production allowed me to shed a few layers, that I had been carrying around with me. I felt so much lighter after the production was over, but I found myself missing all these beautiful people who shared my life with me. I found a greater understanding for thoughts that really didn't have a real meaning. Learning how to grow in new ways, and experiencing another one's culture was powerful. The After show discussions were just amaZing. As a producer, the work is often goes un-notice of what it takes to a production together. However, there are times when life brings you full circle several times over and you realize that you have been doing something truly meaningful. The experience was well worth it. I have 4 adopted daughters from the production that I cherish. They have come to be close just from being part of a family who cares for one another. Sharing and succeeding all together is such a nice feeling.

Changing Spaces Makes Sense
This life keeps bringing things clearer to me on a daily basis. I find myself learning something new, when I least expect it. At times I am temped to keep things on an even keel, but it always comes up different than what I expect. There's something about that, that I like. It feels right.
I am constantly changing spaces, and growing. My spirit is soaring and I will not anyone to affect that part of me. I keep reaching up and finding the places that God keeps working on inside of me. I get chills when I discover that moment when he says. "You got that space right... keep working." I remain humbled by his grace and mercy that he has continued to show me. Never leaving me, but instead giving me spaces that keep changing. Today I found this wonderful saying that expresses my thoughts of the week. As I work this week on my one woman show I am reminded of a new space that needs strengthening and work. Harriet will be ready to reach others with her life's stories and change some lives for the better.

A moment for Whitney
Whitney gurl, it took me a some weeks to internalized life's moments since your passing on to a better life. Your life's passion and mission was extraordinary! I remember when your first album came out, we use to party at Celebrations in Boston to your music. Your voice was like no other. There will always be people who Look To You as an inspiration. I believe your last album touch me more - it touched the real moments of you in so many ways. Walking that dark path back in to the light - gurl I have walked that path and never to return. Yes, holding my up head high and giving thanks for strength my lord and savior. (I Look to you) We will always have you in your music and may you rest in peace knowing that you were good enough, great enough and loved enough by so many. Today we celebrate Bobbie Kristina!

A moment to give thanks
Another year has come to this season of giving and understanding of what
is really important when all is said and done. I really enjoy this time of year.
my son Joe is now in college and learning what life is all about. Finding his way to what he will be when he becomes a full fledged adult. He fashions himself to the liking of Jim Hendrix in his dress of the day one day and the next he is dressed as a business casual yet charming to the eye. He has taken to helping me backstage at the Emerson Theater Collaborative.
Speaking of that! The Emerson Theater Collaborative is coming into year four in April 2012. What a journey it has been. I cannot stop now. The road has been hard but I will continue because I know what I do affects the human condition. when we produce great works of theater that inspire people to do what needs to be done automatically...that is to FEEL. A basic instinct that seems to be missing is so many people. It brings a sadness to me at times to know that this exist.
The last show of the season was the Spitting Image by Sophie Klein
I have posted my producers note from the final season show program. I hope that it finds you well. Be at peace with yourself and others for you have the potential to change the world.
The wilderness can be a scary place when you are lost. I should know. I have been there.
We have all been there. Trying to figure out who we are and what makes us. US! Each day I am discovering more about who I am and what makes me happy. I am so thankful to be able to find new discoveries about who I am and who I am becoming. When I look back to my teenage years, and remember – I have so much to be thankful for.
• I thankful for my mother who taught me how to be strong and to care about people.
• I am thankful for my son who continues to be such a blessing in my life. Thank you for shaping me into a better human being.
• I am thankful for a husband who is gentle, loving and caring and allows me to be who I am.
• I am thankful for my Emerson Theater Collaborative family who are 65 people strong and who continue to help me create great theater. Giving me room to lead, and to fail and picking me back up, dusting me off with a smile and saying continue, your doing a great job.
• I am thankful for my dad who gave me games to play with and allowed me to be a child and to imagine the things I could be.
As for me Thanksgiving is everyday. I find a moment everyday to say thankful for all that I have, all that I am. I am thankful today to be able to be here with you to share in this amazing production, with such talented people. The Emerson Theater Collaborative started in April of 2008 to serve youth, under-represented communities and artists with an emphasis on diversity, by producing innovative and exhilarating theater in Southeastern Connecticut. Everyday since our opening production of Doubt, by John Patrick Shanley, we have been able to bring great theater to the region. We have been able to help our youth grow into adults with a new sense of self and pride in what they do. But none of this could have been done without you our patrons, volunteers, friends and family. I am so thankful for all of you.
As we approach the season of Thanksgiving find many moments to be thankful for all that you have. The most important moments in our lives are moments around friends and family. They are the ones that matter most.
Thank you Sarah, Joshua, Roy, Joe, Jack, Jeanette, Julia, Alex, Kelly, Gail and FUMC for helping to create moments that will change lives forever.
