Job Over

Job Over We never saw it coming.He opened up his paycheck.Pink slip.Laid off.Shocked, we held each other.Nine months later, savings gone.A house we love, we must leave.Stack of billswe can't pay.I tell myself I can't do this.Falling to my knees, I sob.I need You more than ever;with You, I can face this.

The Greater Purpose of Self-Indulgence

The Greater Purpose of Self-Indulgence A few year ago, while working with a touring theatre company, I had a debate with a touring partner of mine regarding the nobility of acting. He argued that there was nothing noble about his career choice. I begged to differ. “Theatre is all about empathy,” I said. “Theatre gets people to sit down and be quiet long enough to imagine what it would be like to be in someone else’s shoes. I’ve seen and read so many plays that have helped me understand that people I thought were completely...

Living on Your Own Terms

Living on Your Own Terms It’s not for everybody, but it works for us. During the winter months, I live in Florida and my husband David commutes from Chicago. I’m not your typical seasonal resident. I’m not playing mah jong or bridge with my condo neighbors, and I haven’t attended a single charity ball. I’m a workaholic like my husband. And somehow we manage to eek out...

A Difficult Boss

A Difficult Boss What can I do?Too much is expected of me.Good is never good enough.I cry on the way to work,makeup ruined before I get there.My boss rages, unjustified.When I speak softly,Iím told to be less timid.When I speak up,I'm told I'm too aggressive.

Overcome the Overwhelming

Overcome the Overwhelming Dreams are weird and they usually don’t mean much. Most of the time I forget ‘em before I even brush my teeth, but it’s mid-morning and I’m still thinking about last night’s dream-time dilemma: There were four cleaning ladies trying to clean my house, and it kept getting dirtier. It’s plain, I’m dreaming out my frustration. There are two things going on: 1) My living room rug...
