Well suffice to say this birthday was not one for the books. Unless the book is being published in the bowls of hell by a bag of dicks. Big Bear was much needed. Sort of grounded me. Let’s be honest: life is hard right now. For the entire world. Like everyone. BUT with all my blessings I’m still trying to be positive and empowered. New headshots! BAM! They’re kind of intense but that’s apparently what I got to sell so hook-me-up! I kind of feel all Shakespearean in this one How dost the time flieth my lord? Had a few auditions on zoom, that was a learning curve. But the more I do the better I get at it. I remember saying back in the day acting is the easy part everything else is a bitch. I finished, sort of, Sex in the Time of Covid. It’s funny but don’t think I’m gonna do it? It’s not just because it’s super graphic, it’s also cause I’m not sure what I’m adding to the world. Ya know? Like funny is good and people need to laugh but after reading it I was sort of like Ok but what are you saying about life? Love? Responsibility?
We visited Temple of Goddess Spirituality, dedicated to Sekhmet! And WOW!
It was such a lovely day. A quick hour drive north from Vegas (where I met my Mom again for Super Bowl. FUN) and Laura and I found ourselves in a small desert area with an adobe temple atop a small hill. The area was carefully sculpted with trails and sitting areas. (There were lots of fire pits, but the temple is only open during the day so something happens at nights! I will find out!!!) The Temple itself was so lovingly displayed in made us cry. Statues of Gaia, the Virgin, Quan, Lakshimi and of course fierce feline warrior Sekhmet dominated a wall! What a force! We just don’t get to see things like this in America. (OK OK yes the Pieta and lots of hanging Jesus, sure. And some cool saints, but like this?) The Goddess! And not hidden or obscured. Boldly there saying Honor Me! I brought some prayers to say aloud from circle members as well as my own sacred speech in Her countenance. UHH can’t wait to go back!
