HELP - October 31, 2013 - Inspiration from source: Today as I sat meditating (because if I didn't my head would explode with stress) a calm, soothing voice said: "don't forget to ask for help - you cannot do it all." 

I've been a type A personality all my life, and I'm used to having people say they will do things and then not follow through. In fact, it's kind of been a way of life. Being ready, samurai style, to jump in and finish it when people don't get her done. I have, actually, been able to do it all - much of the time (except for when I was in the 8th month of pregnancy, or in the first few sleepless weeks after each child was born). I really have been able to, in some parts of history, single-handedly steer all the activities of my small theater company. Which isn't so small anymore.

I have realized of late that if I don't find more folks to help - I'm going to have to let the whole thing go. I'm heading towards 50 years old. I'm in better shape than I used to be, but the only way that's happened is by taking better care of myself. I have come to the critical, but essential awakening: Doing it ALL does not allow me to do the most important thing - care for myself and my family. 

As we head into a busy month of small fundraisers scheduled to help make sure that the rent is paid and the heater has oil - and as I have had to turn my attention to my mother's health - I realize that it's time to ask for help. 

So many of you have said that Vagabond Acting Troupe has been critical to your child's development. I see those children heading off to Broadway, LA films, the Philadelphia stages, and more importantly to me, I see them as strong, confident beings who can articulate, communicate, and understand people better than many of their peers. That is what theater teaches people - to not just tolerate others, but to value the differences.

Anyone want to help me keep that going in this time of family challenges? I would like to keep it going - but I can't do it alone. So I ask right now for "all hands on deck." Let me know if you want to take on a duty for one of these upcoming events.

I need help. You heard it from the source.

Namaste.
