Time Off

September 21, 2021 at 9:01 am by Claudia

Hey, everyone. I’m going to take a couple of days off from the blog. I have a lot on my plate at the moment with coaching and trying to find a good time to speak to the director of the film, prepping for Anastasia, and helping Don with a self-tape audition this morning. And my sinus/allergies are really troublesome, so I feel like I’m in a fog.

I need to give myself permission to not blog. I’m so used to doing it everyday, but the fact is, I don’t always have something to say. I may well transition into blogging a few days a week, but that decision is way off in the future.

Thanks for understanding.

Stay safe.

Happy Tuesday.

    Well done and a good idea. We all need a break and this one sounds sorely needed. I know you’ll take all the time you need. Hope you feel better soon. (You are the only blog I read daily; otherwise, I can’t keep up.)

    Self care, a good idea. Your life has changed dramatically in the past few weeks.
    We appreciate whatever, and whenever
    you share, but most importantly you must take care of you and Don.

    We’ll be here when you return! Enjoy the break.

    You really did a good job capturing the light hitting the glaze on the Roseville. And the texture. So fun to grow as an artist! I’m moving on from my watercolor series on Haystack Rock in Oregon and now contemplating how to capture fuchsia blossoms. Every time is a learning experience!

    Thinking good healthy thoughts for that little one. Nothing worse than worrying about youngsters who should be out running around instead of feeling miserable. Such a helpless feeling.

    All the best.

    We all need to take a break these days and take care of ourselves. You have a lot on your to do list so I understand. I do look forward to reading your blog and often wonder how you do it all. God Bless you and protect you and Don as you take care of everything, come back when you think it is right. I will be here along with all your other readers when you feel it’s time to resume writing.

    Totally understand. If you wanted to transition into blogging a few days a week, that’s fine. Heck, Susan Branch hasn’t posted now for over two MONTHS!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
