This weekend has been quite a busy one! I was in a short movie yesterday that filmed in the pouring rain on the NYC streets, and the show I'm in at LaMaMa has been having a very successful weekend! Sadly, I'm getting ready to go to the final performance. It's been a wonderful experience!

Back from the calming sounds of the ocean and Hurricane Danny! While away, I was able to work on two original stories that should be ready for telling soon! At the beach I for some reason became fascinated with the idea of creating and telling stories about tiny things, so you can guess that that is what one of my stories is about. The other springs from a childhood memory of a pair of shoes that I would wear EVERYWHERE!

Over the weekend, I was asked to be a regular storyteller at the Avenel Middle School Library. I'm excited about this because each month will have a different theme that the librarian will also be carrying into other activities in the library.

Last week I was at the Vacation Bible School of 5th Ave. Presbyterian Church. Along with the wonderful storyteller Beth Curry, I told a series of stories about how God uses water. Man, those kids were great! They came in everyday with a ton of energy and lots of amazing questions about the stories. After each story, we got to play games that related back to what we had just heard.

This week I'm spending some time at the beach listening to the waves and catching up on some writing. I've got some stories brewing that I'm excited about!
