We have been having so much fun practicing and I'm getting really excited about performing. If you're thinking about coming, you need to remember that it is a Disney production. Lots of cheesy diolague and plenty of smiling. It's so obvious why the preteen set loves this show. Hope to see some of you there!

Labels

Today I have been talking to my supervisor about labels. He said that he was listening to a speaker discuss how we place labels on events. We say things like, "that was a really bad experience" or just attach a negative connotation to a memory. We decide we hate or dislike people when we have an interaction we call "negative" with them. What if we stopped placing labels on events, memories, people? What if we said things like, "that was the perfect experience - it was perfect in what it needed to be for me" or "That person was doing the exact thing that they needed to do in that moment, it was perfect". Why can't we just accept moments as creations for our betterment, and accept those people who interact with us as teachers? When I believe that it is possible I feel free. I feel at peace. I can even be emotional about the beauty and humanness of life experience. I don't have to be reactive - I can be open and learn and be an improved me. I heart great supervisors/mentors and am so lucky to have one.
