Musings on finding one’s purpose and a sojourn in the classroom

What have I been doing the last few months, aside from working with clients and doing music and running lines (and being a camp counselor) for this actor’s workshop down in Tuscany that my friend Katharina did annually before the pandemic and has begun again (finally!), and why have I been so distracted by it… Continue reading Musings on finding one’s purpose and a sojourn in the classroom
