I am housing with cast mates Jennifer Blood (Miss Honey), Stephanie Martignetti (Ensemble) and Wesley Faucher (Acrobat) in a neighborhood called The Castro. Here we are on our back porch with this sweet neighborhood kitty that has adopted us. We have been lucky enough to meet a cat in every spot so far!

My favorite day! Every Wednesday I like to set up a little goodies station for the cast and crew for a little inspiration boost, food for thought & appreciation. We’ve even included a local “Back to School�� clothing drive this week! The kids like to give me ideas about their favorite treats or creative themes. It’s a great tradition that brings everybody together, especially the locals we’re working with while traveling.

This week's theme is the rainbow and the Wisdom Wednesday group quote is from the Cyndi Lauper song, "True Colors." “And I see your true colors shining through, I see your true colors and that’s why I love you. So don’t be afraid to let them show. Your true colors are beautiful like a rainbow.��
