Favorites of July '19

As always, in no particular order, whether they be quotes, pictures, experiences, ideas, or lessons learned, here are my top most memorable moments of the month!

Moments of the Month

8. My Assistant Stage Manager position turned into Stage Manager throughout the rehearsal process of Brontë. I ended up calling my very first show ever! I must say, I still prefer ASM'ing to being the official SM, but I appreciated the experience.

7. On July 8th, I started a "read for a year" challenge. Basically the only guideline I'm following is that I have to read at least 30 minutes a day. This also makes it an easier to accomplish goal as opposed to if I did an hour. I will update monthly to let you all know what I've read!

6. I got to dog-sit my favorite Australian Shepherd, Dassa, for a week! I love watching her because she gets me outside and exercising. If I had a dog, she'd be it.

5. I am excited to share that I will be joining a non-profit group called Moving Forward Reaching Back. Their mission is to inspire and encourage all youth to dream beyond their circumstances through Literacy, Motivational Productions and Community Outreach.

After having worked with them once before, I was very impressed by their organization, cohesiveness, kindness, and how easy they were to work with.

4. Sometimes the smallest delights are the best moments. I tried naan, and Indian meal bread, for the first time.

3. Watched YouTuber Daz Black's Cooking Simulator. He does a lot of reaction and gaming videos and I must warn you, he does curse some, but I have never laughed so hard at one of his videos I definitely wanted to give it a shout-out as one of my favorite moments of the month.

2. I got a mani-pedi with my new friend and former Assistant Director for Brontë, Jackie. She and I went as it was her way of thanking me for everything I'd helped with during the show.

1. My younger sister, Sarita, came home from walking El Camino in Spain!
