Weekends almost feel like a blank canvas. What’s to do? I need to keep work incorporated into most of my days even if I’m not on set or sitting at a desk, or else I feel kind of lost. It keeps me on track with what’s to come. It keeps me feeling like I am…
I wasn’t quite sure what story to lead on Cinnamon tea for the month of October. Not to mention I am a bit behind on this post now that we have landed in November. But I feel this is all for good reason. I think that the last two weeks of straight work on and…
So here we are at the holiday’s end. The fun has blown over. How? That fast really? It always happens that way and when all is said and done we go back to work and school feeling kind of funky. But, there is no need for that because our blessings are more exciting everyday than…

Yes, we have passed the major holidays and we are in full gear for a day dedicated to your sweetheart. May that be your man or lady. Or may that be rich and velvety chocolate. You can get chocolate anytime and anywhere, and I am sure you do. But chocolate is seemingly more magical on…
I remember sitting in Rochelle’s office brainstorming show topics. In my novice experience this was the first approach to bringing a show to life! It all seemed like it happened years ago too.
