Philip Seymour Hoffman has always been one of my favorite actors and though Almost Famous  is by no means a favorite movie of mine, his performance as rock critic Lester Bangs is one for the books. I came across this quote today and must admit that I have been feeling pretty uncool lately. I feel overwhelmed, a little more uninspired than usual, and generally wiped out. I don't feel "on" or ready or presentable  or particularly clever or creative at the moment, and as a result, have been feeling like the most vulnerable version of myself.  I have faith this feeling will pass (as feelings do), but boy,  it feels tough in the meanwhile. 

Wisdom and hope isn't easily found online, but this quote (and the movie clip containing it below) made me feel just a little more hope. Maybe it's in our uncool moments, when we feel a little lost and wobbly, that we have the best chance of being a real human being capable of connecting to and feeling compassion for all the other uncool souls out there. It's easy to tell yourself you're the only one, but the truth is, there's a whole community of uncool out there; we're in good company.

Wishing you a week where you give yourself permission to not be put together all the time.

Wishing you patience with riding out whatever emotional wave you might be surfing right now.

​May you mind these tender moments while they are here, and practice staying with them long enough to see what kind of magic might come of them.

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

    My name is Melissa and I'm an actor, playwright, author, filmmaker, and teaching artist who wants to help you discover, cultivate, and care for your creativity. 
     
    What does being creative mean to you?

    How do you play every day?

    This is a space for taking a break, a breath,  and finding ways to flex our imagination and find the joy where we can. 

    ​No one is going to present us with a ready made creative life--we have  to step up and gift it to ourselves. I'm so glad you're here.
