*A note on this entry: The Dekeyser & Friends project I’m on is all about inspiration. I hope this blog entry, and many others that I attempt to write as honestly as possible, are never construed as “anti-inspirational” or worse: depressing. From sadness comes growth, and from growth comes inspiration. I’ll get there someday. Happy [...]

The Biggest Suffering Is This
Posted in Al-Anon Recover, Brain Dump, Theatre, Turkey 2009 on October 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’ve been struggling for days now to come to some sort of enlightened conclusion about the ‘reason’ for the shin splints which I’ve been suffering from. Judging by my substitution of factual Twitter updates for a more in-depth blog, it’s clear I’ve failed in this endeavor.
My legs started paining me last Friday during training, but [...]

I met a friend the other night that I hadn’t seen in a while, and while I was preparing for the rendez-vous, I was playing out different conversations in my head and how they might go. (Because this is what I do…)
I imagined answering the question, How are you? At first, I thought of groaning [...]
Best Bad Day Ever

Today was a pretty rough day, but it was also pretty rockin’. Here’s why:
Gut Shot #1: Parking ticket in Central Square, even after I fed the meter. Should have remembered that they stalk those metal boxes just waiting for someone to be five minutes late, like I was.
Silver Lining: I sat in the car eating [...]
Gettin’ Down to It… With a Capital ‘I’

The second step is simple: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Al-Anon claims to have atheists amongst them; and, indeed, I’ve met some that have entered as such and found their way to their own personal higher power. Me, I’ve always carried a higher power around with [...]
Life of Wellness

The book talks about self-healing and it leads me to think about my life as a massage practitioner. Originally an idea as a back-up job to acting, massage has become much more to me than just this. It’s a way for me to give back, to better understand the way we humans work as a [...]

gratitute. on a day like today, where i’m compelled to write pages, there’s something the matter on the inside, and that means i need to calm myself and find gratitute.
there are so many different schools of thought, which ring true. they all seem very wholistic, yet they conflict. al-anon talks about acceptance – seeing life [...]
Mid-Step Thought

Actors are lonely people. Probably artists in general, but I’ll only speak for myself for now.
Most folks have day jobs (I know. I talk about the infamous day job a lot). And, like them or hate them, most people have co-workers whom they spend a significant amount of time with and know intimately – at [...]
The Importance of a Cup of Tea

I never thought I would want to explode at an in-law until I had my own to do that to. Spoke too soon. Nanny life has given me a set of in-laws – the proverbial grandparents who know how to do everything better than I do – three full days a week. At first it [...]
