refreshment

i've been hanging out for the last few days with old friends in the theatre community. it's always so wonderful to receive reminders that creating weird, innovative, off-the-wall collaborations can be not only rewarding, but viable. i think that, too often, when you are educated within a certain model (which may still teach you invaluable skills), it can be far too easy for people to bring you down or discourage you from forging your own path. luckily, i have a lot of friends around me who are forging multiple paths, and who i can take inspiration from as i start to map my own. because i will forge a new path, just being careful to be kind to the forest around me as i do so. spring is on its way, and as cliche as it may be, it offers new opportunities for inspiration and growth. namaste, chickadees.

i'm not doing too well in terms of updating this blog on a regular basis, but maybe once classes finish, i'll have more time. most of my (not so) free time these days has been spent knitting. i've decided to knit a gift for everyone in my acting family for our graduation. fifteen projects by the first weekend of april. i currently have one done. yikes! it's fun though, and i'm loving the excuse to browse yarn shops and scan ravelry on a daily basis. some exciting news: i got accepted into grad school! i'll be moving to london in the fall for a one-year master's degree in advanced theatre practice. my plan for world domination via art and food is slowly manifesting itself... it's pouring where i am right now, which means it's time for tea. valentine's day is coming up soon for those of you who care. i tend to use it as an excuse for trying out fancy recipes and crafting. back to knitting!
