“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” Yeats Finding this so true in my garden every day. There are new revelations daily, both from the plants and from within myself. #magic  

I’d forgotten that a huge case of 70 DVDs was arriving for the indie film I’m a producer on, WITH CHILD. I had a second surprise when I opened the box to see that although I had one DVD in my possession already as a gift from the leading lady/producer Leslie Lewis, that I’d never looked a...

Real Artists Ship It truly is that simple. In other words, having all the creative ideas in the world may be great but how much value do they have if you never get them down on paper? Or if those pages stay hidden in your sock drawer? I’m a huge fan of Emily Dickinson, and “I dwell in Possibili...

I love this year’s birthday dropback photo taken by my great friend Sarah Herrington. Other than changing the background and/or my outfit, it’s hard to find a new spin on this series but in 2016 we found one: just add my Mom! She did confess that it was easier to give birth to me than to watch ...

My Dad died on Friday night, Oct. 2nd. Thanks for all the kind thoughts being sent my way, especially for my Mom.
