Living on the Edge: Back to the Future

Here's a handy tool in pdf format for getting a grip on your life.

Clean Sweep

I'd love to know if you find it helpful. I did.

Living on the Edge: What.

Living on the Edge evolved into a glimpse into my life, the part I don't really want to "talk" about. Little press releases. No comment.

Then, ahhhh (full exhale), I'm free to be me again. (full inhale) and now I want to "talk", have conversations about the things that matter to those I'm blessed to have in my life, many of whom annoy (or bore) the crap out of each other.

My family types don't always "get" my theatre colleagues. My theatre colleagues really don't give a damn about laundry or easy, impromptu entertaining. Neither of those groups care much about the newest technology in skin care, my quest to simplify everything wardrobe and makeup, and my "Go to Europe with a toothbrush and a credit card concept".

So what to do with an unwieldy blog? Break off into new ones, activate some not so new ones and make a guest list for each party. Yea. An action step.



Next post: Back to the future.

Go for it.

Exciting night. Youngblood's Psychobilly Band made it's premier tonight.
Film on the eleventh, stills tomorrow.

It's been a wonderful thing to watch. We've been hearing about this since November. To see him go for it has been inspiring. Then, at the end, cash in hand, proud happy boys, stepping a little closer to manhood, as rock stars.

Does it get any better?

Big Changes for us

Change begins with an ending. Change ends with a new beginning.

Dear Friends and Family,

As you may have heard, our house burned last week as a result of an electrical panel short. (WAVY chopper photo here) It was fast, destructive and shocking. My son and I were at home at the time, therefore we were able to call 911 and an amazingly short time later, the Norfolk fire department was there. They stopped the fire as it was entering the first floor, protected my books and furniture with plastic and were diligent into the night making sure that the fire did not rekindle.

Our insurance coverage is very good and the company representatives have been wonderful. We're warm and safe in a suite type motel and we'll be moving into a temporary home next week just blocks from our house. So, a little inconvenience now, but in the end, we'll be in a completely rebuilt house, redesigned just for us.

I feel so blessed to have so many people in my life who have made so many warm and generous offers to help. I will be forever grateful to them for their support when the going got tough and for their thoughts and prayers. They were heard and felt by us all.

Next week, I'll be resuming my coaching practice, my husband is back to work and normal life will resume. I'm looking forward to that!

So dear friends, check your policy...if you don't have good coverage, I can't suggest strongly enough that you upgrade to the max. I hope you'll never need to know how much peace of mind you'll receive knowing that everything's going to be just fine.

All the best,

Donna

Living on the Edge

Theater, live! It always amazes me that some folk would rather create drama off stage than on. What a waste of time and energy.
My new year's resolution....retire from being a volunteer. It's become a drain on my talent, my time and it's no longer serving me. I'm done.

It's time to stop playing with people who aren't any fun, don't share their toys and don't play well with others. Life's too short.
