Work has been crazy busy... but fun! (minus the one awful project)
I am casting right now for a comic woman, I've already seen 50 women and another 50 this week. It's great to be supportive of female comedians, so I'm really enjoying it. In fact... I should tell some good audition stories here! I will... but not right now.
I just wanted to remember a few quick things from yoga last night, before my brain loses them!
First, Vanessa started off the class with the thought that "Of all the things the universe could create, it chose to create you." I liked that thought a lot... kind of in keeping with the quote that my blog was founded on, that we are all children of the universe. It's fascinating to me that I am not religious anymore, in fact, I really cringe at organized religion and the word God. But I do take great comfort in the idea that we are here for a reason, and maybe I am just substituting the word universe while most people us God. I am ok with that. I understand why people need that comfort, however it comes to them.
Also, she said at one point that "Pain is the breaking away of a shell." I'm probably not quoting her correctly, but it was something like that. It is in keeping with a book I'm reading right now, which basically says that if you're not growing, you're dying. Meaning that it's all well and good to keep taking the same yoga class day in and day out, but if you're not pushing your boundaries, stretching further than you did the day before into what might be slightly painful, then you are not breaking your shell and growing. I think it's a perfect metaphor for life.
ok, gotta run right now but hopefully I'll have some time for some good stories soon!
