Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone. I’m not sure if any of the stuff I’ve done for people has been random. Like holding doors open, saying “Bless you” when someone sneezes, picking up trash, returning shopping carts to the designated locations, warning people about dog poop on the ground orContinue reading “Random act of kindness I’ve done for someone”

Breaking the Ice with … Yourself – The Art of Showing Up
I started reading a book called The Art of Showing Up and there was an exercise about breaking the ice with yourself where you answer some questions to help get to know yourself better.

Merry Wives – Shakespeare in the Park
I thought that this play was really funny. The casting was great, the modern adaption was done well. Some of the sound effects were chosen perfectly. It was helpful that I knew what the story was about before watching the play. One of the audience members behind me explained what the show was about rightContinue reading “Merry Wives – Shakespeare in the Park”

Chess
I’ve played chess recreationally for a bunch of years. I don’t remember when I first learned how to play, but I think I was in a chess club in elementary school.
