​The feeling of being able to contribute
The feeling that you’re making a difference

The relief of falling into bed
At the end of a long day

The thrill of the marathon finish line
The humanity of it all
Every age, ethnicity, ability
Out there celebrating the triumph of the human spirit

​How special to have Ralph and Amelia there
How wonderful to be able to celebrate after
I don’t want it to end

Dear me
Remember at drama school
When that director said you didn’t have the voice to do musical theatre
Well here you are in the room
On the stage
Singing Sondheim
And a part of it all
And it feels glorious

Opening night of The Wolves
A thrill to see it all come together
Feeling pride that I played a part in it
The joy of celebrating with a dear friend

The joy of research
And writing
My happy place

Noodles and dumplings 
Followed by
Luxurious vanilla bean ice cream
Covered in dark chocolate

Tell 16-year-old me
Listening to Seussical on repeat
That she’s in a rehearsal room with Kevin Chamberlain
Singing Sondheim
And having the time of her life

Walking with Jan up to Columbus Circle
Coming across an extraordinary hyper-real art exhibit by
Carole Feuerman
