SO MUCH TO DO...SO LITTLE TIME!!

It has been quite the stress reliever to know that I'm not in this HAPPINESS FOR SURVIVAL journey by myself. Don't get me wrong, there is still STRESS that I experience in ample abundance but I still feel much better knowing that I have the support of my cast mates. This is new for me.

I don't want to make it seem as if I've never felt the support of my cast mates before in other productions because I most certainly have but when I did in fact receive this support, it only came from some and not from others. That's not too weird, that's simply what some would call life. Nothings ideal. While I get that, this scenario I'm currently experiencing is all together wonderfully different.

How so?

Well, for starters...everyone is equally excited and invested in this project. I ride the waves of their (my cast mates) enthusiasm on days that life can be a bit much. It has helped me more than I can say. We are a team. I appreciate them. I value them & I make sure I communicate that to them. They have told me individually how much they appreciate me giving them the opportunity...but from where I sit, I appreciate them more for saying YES to me.

I want to be transparent in this moment:

I am so uncompromisingly certain that one day money problems or the lack of money will be in my rearview. I am also uncompromisingly certain that that day has not yet arrived. So where as I can see people being involved in something when there is a dollar amount to speak of...when people are being paid for their time and talents...it simply warms my heart and takes my breath away to know that without a dollar on the table to be made, these wonderfully talented people have willingly decided to lend their creative genius to my stage play.

Now while the saying "Nobody will ever love your baby the way you love your baby" still holds true in my minds eye...my HFS FAM have come pretty darn close and I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for them because of that.
