Reading of my new play

On Saturday, January 29, 2011, I hosted a reading of my new play, "Does Your House Have Lions"? at the Delaware Avenue Branch of the Albany Public Library.  Two people attended and gave me great feedback. Both thought it was well written with a myriad of nuances throughout the dialogue.  The characters of Allyson and Michael were discussed in length.  Both agreed that Allyson's backround story set the stage for understanding her character's behavior throughout the reaminder of the play and the decisions that she untimately makes.  Both agreed that they wanted to know more about the Michael Taylor character.  There will be a spin off play about this character and what happens to him after 10 years.  The new play will be called, So You Call Yourself "A Man of God'? 

That's all for now.  I'll holla back at another time.

I almost forgot

Yesterday, I had someone do an inpromptu reading of the first Act of my new play, "Does Your House Have Lions".  The individual found the story content to be quite fascinating and believable.  he was caucasian and didn't know It was written by and african-american person until I used the term "baby mama".  I found this hilarious.  I hear many causcasian people using the term themsleves.  Didn't Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make a movie called, "Baby Mama"?  I'm just saying.  ROFL and SMH

But I appreciate his honesty and his willingness to take time out of his day to read my play.  All in all it was a learning experience for me.

Feeling tired today; Didn't sleep well

I am sleepy.  Had a rough night. I was up and down all night.  I wanted so bad to go back to sleep.  I had so many thoughts going through my mind.  My fears, insecurities and doubts had me up.  I just kept asking for God to turn the tapes and videos off in my mind.  The battlefield that was going on in my mind and it felt like it would never end.  If anybody knows me I value my sleep a great deal.  I don't do well without a certain  amount of rest.  Just praying that God will contunue to shine His light on me and to show me my worth, my value and all that I have to offer.  I am enough.  I am significant.  I am special.  I am blessed.  I am beautiful. I am worthy of love and worthy of someone who will love me back.  I am a Queen.  I am the daughter of the Most High God.  Thank you for loving me Lord when it seems that no one else does.

The weather

It's been extremely cold here in Albany.  Yesterday it was -14 degrees when I woke up.  Today it's supposed to be 22 degrees.  Praying the weather will let up and won't interrupt with the scheduled reading of my play on Saturday, January 29th. 

I have been taking a public speaking course through Christina Staton Ministries on Monday evenings for the month of January and it has been a very rewarding experience.  Next Monday is the last class and also the end of the oral presentations.  My desire is to be a better motivational/public speaker as well as a playwright, author and woman of God.  But today I am a little tired.  Had meetings back to back last night and today I have another meeting and praise team rehearsal.  Pray my strength in the Lord!!
