I played so hard with my co-quarantine-mates yesterday. Some of it was curious and productive like this... later I played SO HARD at @mr.ladysmith 's HIIT workout (I'll be sore all of today at least)...and then we played too hard after game night such that it turned into a fight. But even our fight was a play and a dance, a space to open and listen and inch back towards each other. It's hard to explain, but we found grace and ease again, and I'm so grateful for the tools from Heart of the Fight. With them, everyone gets seen and heard, everyone gets responsible and complete, and we can get back to PLAY even faster. #wrightliving .

Hello Social Media,
It’s been a while. 😊

Thank you @jarrattrouse for the challenge that was too good to pass up!
Thank you, @elizabethtuazon (aka @wonderplaycoaching, my housemate, “land mermaid”) for being my partner in learning and play!
I have shared our final product and then our first through 4th attempts, if you wish to actually witness the learning and practicing which lead to the final product.

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Life-Giving!

Here's some of what's giving me life today. .
.
🤩 - I didn't even stage this picture - this is simply what my morning workstation looked like.
🌞 - Natural light. ☕ - Made coffee for myself in my favorite mug because I matter. 📓 - Wrote my morning pages in my gorgeous journal. 🥦 - @athleticgreens, every day!
🎧 - Virtually co-worked with @megantaylormorrison and her fierce, fun, powerful online crew in The Thriving Creator Collective, recently featured in the New York Times.
💖 - Attended a virtual meeting at @womenbelong, my local women's entrepreneur networking group, and got HELLA INSPRED by the boss business babes there.
🍞🥚🍯 - Made myself victory French toast (cinnamon, paprika, & cayenne with honey-water for sweetness and moisture) because I DID THE THING I WAS RESISTING during coworking time, and declared and shared a format for my workshop this Saturday!!
🎪 - not pictured, @mr.ladysmith, @placeodiscovery, @deosluciddream, my inimitable housemates, with whom I've created functional and sustainable home quarantine programming together - the schedule for the week is written on the DnD map on the table.

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: I Like To Practice!

What do I love about this practice?
.
.
1st video: because I wanted to see what a new maneuver looked like from the outside; it feels so cool on the inside! Plus, I can contrast where we are now with how far we've come AND how much better we are getting. So satisfying to celebrate progress. .
.
2nd video: outtake-worthy. Plus, it illustrates how at-home art, creativity, and practice is SO COMFORTABLE the homestead, and that we love and appreciate each other. I don't exactly live in an artist commune, but I don't need to in order to feel like my creativity practice has a place. .

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Voice. . . I was in a middle

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Voice.
.
.
I was in a middle school classroom this morning, accompanying for a choral contest. I thought I took a photo of the bulletin board on VOICE in Mrs. Brashler's room that I found so inspiring, but apparently the photo didn't take... so, ironically (or is it coincidentally?), I will share it in my own words. .
.
Hold your voice as sacred, and use its power responsibly. Pour it forth so as to enrich and enliven, and also silence it so as to listen, hold space, and show care and respect when others are using their voices. Do each in the appropriate moment, and learn to discern which is which. Be thoughtful with how you use your voice, and lean towards uses that uplift, inspire, and ignite rather than attack, destroy, or defame. .
.
This message was transmuted through a filter for middle school understanding, but it struck me deeply. It pertains to art I make and observe, help I give and take, and my very presence and way of being in the world. I am using my voice in increasingly responsible ways. Thank you for witnessing me on that journey. .

If I judge you, I fail to see you. If I dismiss you, I fail to honor you. If I ignore you, I fail to acknowledge you. .

And if I do these things to you, I also do them to myself. .

So let me do my best to see you, honor you, acknowledge you - and in so doing, share my own humanity and declare to my world who I am and what I care about. .

Took a break, now back to it! Day 5 of the 10 Day

Took a break, now back to it! Day 5 of the 10 Day Performer/Artist Challenge. I was nominated by @shaugran and @aaronzemelko

For ten days, I will select an image from my life as a performer/artist- a photo of a memorable moment during a performance or show- and post it without a single explanation. And each day, I will nominate someone new to take the challenge as well. That’s ten days, ten performance photos, ten nominations, zero explanations. Be active, be positive, be passionate.
Raise awareness of the performing arts.

Today I nominate @sara_cherny. Committed leader, brilliant human. Mistakes were made (by each) and I didn't get to teach at @bluetopiachicago this month like we had planned. I'm sorry if I let you down. I respect you heartily, as a person, a leader, and an artist, and I'm glad for this new season of your life. Excelsior!

Today I nominate @jessrosepole, the photographer of this gorgeous shot. She's the producer of a show that I haven't participated in yet, @polethroughart, which raises awareness and money for mental health. The beneficiary this year is @nostigmas. I literally have rehearsal during the show, so I won't be there this time 😢...but you should seriously go! Pole shows are basically always amazement factories, and art that changes the way we consider our world, ourselves, and our human family is EVERYTHING. Jess, I admire what you're doing SO much, and I want to let you know that I care and it matters to me, even if I won't be there in person to tell you so.

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Speak Up. . . I am so gratefu

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Speak Up.
.
.
I am so grateful for good theater, good company to discuss it with, and to exist in a time of this world where speaking up and standing up for what you care about can make a profound difference for others. This piece of theater is marvelous in its concept, writing, design, and execution. .
.
I have had an abortion. It was safe and legal, and also hard. I am familiar with the difficulty of the choice - I wouldn't have blamed my mother for not carrying me either. And I recognize the complication that I can be both (a)SO grateful for my life and my chance to make a difference in all the ways that I do, and (b)SO grateful that I had the choice to terminate my pregnancy so that I could proceed with my life the way I decided. It seems to me to reflect the complexity of the human spirit, how some things are unknowable until the time we are ready. If the time comes for me to birth and mother a human, I will have chosen to do so. And glory be!

"The obituary for Roe v Wade has not been written. As of this moment, Roe still stands." The closing sequence of the piece shows how much the present matters. What happens next will matter. .

Today I nominate @moxie_rose, who I just learnt used to work with one of my current classmates at @wrightlivingchicago, and we bonded over how fabulous Rose is. She was so gracious to officiate my wedding with @mr.ladysmith in 2 different states, and she has become her own tour de force in some of the universes we share. Ever gracious, ever brilliant. I miss her. 💖

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Asking For It. . . This V-Day

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Asking For It.
.
.
This V-Day, my bold move was to ask my husband to write me something, and to read it aloud on our mega-date (we save 1% of our income for one extra spendy date night every quarter). This is what he wrote. It is, simply, perfect. .
.
We dressed up, had a gorgeous dinner, watched an amazing super sex-positive show that we were invited to by a friend (and one of my colleagues was on the panel!), met and mingled with a delightful contingent of humans... and one thing I love is that while we were open to the flow of what would happen, I decided what I wanted to specifically create and ASKED. (I also asked for this picture, which we didn't take till the end of the night, and doesn't come close to capturing how fabulous we ACTUALLY looked. I don't even mind.)

Queen Nina was truly one and she knew it! I’m not sure if everyone is a Queen/King atm but I believe your born of royalty. Whether you stay of royalty?...that’s for introspection. You are and still will be royal despite the lack of makeup, dress etiquettes, “improper” speech, your hurt, your skin, your hair, your surroundings, your eye bags, your acne, your weight, you physical feature & “defects” your mental & physical illness, the perspective of others, the judgement of others, your mistakes, etc. Don’t forget though that Royalty can do aweful things! Emotions, greed etc. is what has usually gotten in the way of upholding Morals. And honestly I think that’s the key. Morals. Morals of just being a decent human being and giving others respect and natural authentic love just for being a being, no other reason. And no ones perfect. But when you try you start to learn to be healthy and reconnect with your royal genes. Does this make sense🤷🏽‍♀️? Agree or disagree? #queen #king #royal #queennina #ninasimone #reconnect #noonesperfect #tryingishardbutdoable #morals
