Day 45 tastes like sugar and carbs

Greetings, earthlings. I am super bummed because I forgot the camera today and there were sooo many moments I wanted to photograph - particularly the moment I came out of school tonight and saw the rain POURING down on hundreds of New Yorkers and their umbrellas. It was fantastic. I wished I could have taken a snapshot of the intersection at Broadway and 50th by the subway. I would have stood on a wall in this little plaza and captured the four corners of the street PACKED with multi-colored umbrellas, protecting people from the humid rain. It was a nice moment.

In Voice class today we did a cool exercise. We sat in a big circle, we were handed large sheets of paper, and a pile of crayons was dumped in the center of the class. We closed our eyes and envisioned "My Voice as it is." We scrambled for colors and began to draw this idea. This exercise is taken from the book "Freeing the Natural Voice" that I quoted a while back. Then we closed our eyes, rested, and envisioned "My Voice as I would like it to be." Then we repeated the exercise and drew this idea. THEN we got into groups of 5 and showed the group members, one by one, our drawings (one after the other) and the person viewing our drawing was to blurt out stream of consciousness, what they saw, impressions the drawing made, etc. Then we were to flip over the drawing and record the words that we remembered them saying. Some of mine were...

"My Voice as it is:" vibration, shield, bright, green, growing.

"My Voice as I would like it to be:" rooted, reaching, gold, resonating, centered.

Interesting things we do in acting school. :-)

I wanted to share a video I came across the other day when I was searching for something about hummingbirds. This is on some lady's blog, I didn't even read any other posts but this one is interesting and you ought to watch the video - it is remarkable.

Ooh! Lightning just struck. I love wearing my gollashes.

Love to all.
