Are you stepping it up?
A Hike or a Walk in the Woods…? Take a walk with me. I’d like to share the insights I’m experiencing as I go step by step. To begin with, I’m learning that building the strength to bounce back, to move forward and to grow -- takes RESPECT. Letting go of overworking? Honoring the patience and diligence needed for change is an act of caring from the heart. And so, I believe that the life-long learning and growth process of performing artists is an act of loving.
Challenging yourself to grow can come from cherishing what you know is in you -- you light up a screen, you charm and astonish, even frighten and disarm! Building openness and availability can sometimes feel like trudging uphill and sometimes it seems like a refreshing stroll, full of discovery. Yes. It takes respect and love to motivate this kind of deep play -- and AT practice!
