Community garden

There's a community garden not too far from where I live.  I paid a visit last week since they were having an event.  I even signed up on the waiting list for a plot--we'll see if I get one!

Excuse to post dog picture

I hope I didn't sound whiney in my last post . . . I'm grateful for a job since many of you know that it took me a long time to find one, and I'm trying to embrace the cool experiences coming my way even though they feel out of my comfort zone.

Anyhoo, on another note, I got to spend some time with a friend from church last night.  Her dog, Shanae, is the sweetest.  God bless all creatures great and small.

These days

This is the view from a home in the Hollywood Hills.  I was here for a work party last week with directors, producers, and Hollywood people.  My work is taking me to glamorous places I never thought I'd go and connecting me to people I never thought I'd be in the same room with--but it's also been the source of some of the hardest experiences and relationships I've ever faced in my life.  You can definitely ask me more about it if you'd like, but let's just say it's been trial by fire. 

To quote Radiohead, "for a minute there I lost myself" but thank the Lord
for rest . . . for nature, for art, for wholesome and simple food, for quiet, for growth, for hope.
