Old Paperwork

This afternoon I started going through really old paperwork and found I diligently saved all my work related receipts. Every trip to the Los Feliz or Griffith Post Offices memorialized with a handwritten note "DP reels" or "reels and resumes." Many of the receipts had almost completely faded with time while others were still perfectly clear. My ink notations remained on all where the work use was not obvious.

I could just recycle or shred years worth of papers, but for now I'm weeding. It's like a better scrapbook than a diary in some cases.

The receipts I tossed except for one from that year: a year's subscription to weekly Back Stage West when it was only available as a printed magazine.

The Art of Movement

The Art of Movement9. The Art of Movement by Deborah Ory and Ken Browar

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What a wonderful collaboration of photographers and dancers highlighting their athleticism, skill, and artistry. I also really enjoyed the quotes from the dancers as they share their insights, encouragement, and experiences with dance.

I found it really inspiring. Though I do not have the flexibility, strength, training, or dexterity of these phenomenal athletes, I felt inspired to celebrate how I can move, in the ways that I can, while I can.

I am tremendously grateful there are people in the world who dedicate themselves to dance as a profession.

The beautiful hardcover is definitely going on my wish list.
