Top 5

This is random. I clearly haven't been putting effort into my blog, but here are some things that I love/have enjoyed/have learned from this past week:

1. "O"tober -- all entries but particularly Day 16, Day 18 and Day 20 from this week.

2. Oprah's Lifeclass -- especially "Please be responsible for the energy you bring into this space."

3. 750Words.com -- today is Day 3, and I am loving writing just to write. It's great to have a goal and a sense of accomplishment in the morning to kick off the day. I also feel a sense of clarity after each entry. Plus, I love all the stats the site gives you about your writing. Getting ready for my first ever NaNoWriMo, and now I can't wait!

4. Practicing the piano -- memorization has been difficult for me in the past, but now I see that if I can find the patterns and break it down into chunks, my brain cooperates with my fingers. I think I should still put in more time to practice. :)

5. Les Mis in 6 Minutes -- I am obsessed! Major props to U.S. tour swing Natalie Weiss. Please enjoy:


(Full disclosure: Yes, I work on the 25th Anniversary tour of Les Misérables, but this is from the musical theatre fan in me... which is the reason why I do what I do for a living.)
