Alright, so my well-intentioned plans of writing on this thing every day have clearly not worked out. So it goes. I'm alright with it.
Not surprisingly, I've been busy, busy, BUSY! Turns out that simultaneously assistant directing the Peace Theatre Camp production and producing/stage managing Two in the Bush for the Fringe Festival was maybe not the wisest undertaking. But I made it through! The Fringe ends today, we had our final Two in the Bush performance this afternoon - that is, until we perform at the "Best of the Fringe" hold-over series at the Diesel Playhouse at the end of this month! Woo Hoo!!
What's kept me going, (although I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't had the time to properly acknowledge this by returning phone calls & emails) have been the lovely, often totally unexpected, and rather out-of-the-blue phone messages and emails (and blog comments!) from various people out there, simply sending me their love, support and thoughts. Truly, these have always arrived just when I need 'em the most, and have given me the hope, strength and inspiration to keep going... even in the face of total exhaustion and frustration.
Thank goodness for a little help from my friends!
I have to say, amidst all of this (great, important, and meaningful - to me atleast) work, I have felt a little bit lost... Lost in the sense that I've felt like I've been working so hard on other peoples' projects that I've forgotten a little bit about who I am, and what I want... But now that the Fringe is over, and Peace Camp will perform, and wrap up, at the end of this coming week, I am feeling as though I will have a little more time to focus on projects of my own, and I am feeling determined that I must do this.
At the top of my list of things to attend to are:
* My move to NYC - I gotta make this happen!!! I know that I owe it to myself!!!
* Research and writing of my book, and...
* A return to the writing of MY next show???
Okay, so there you have it my friends, the goals for the coming days & weeks, more updates to follow. Sooner rather than later. I promise.
XO,
MMM

So great to read this update! Congratulations on getting through it all and hang in there through the rest!
You are a force to be reckoned with and - as with everything you do - such an integral player in the work of Tracey and the Peace Theatre. They are lucky to have you.
Let me also just add that to read you re-focus on your personal goals for the future has encouraged me to do the same. Your living example continually inspires me.
Much love and CAN'T WAIT to see you!!!
d.
you owe it to new york.
check some areas of the bronx... avoid anything above 161st.
