Go onstage and become another character' - having spent the last week getting lost in the Adelaide Festival and associated Fringe Festival, seeing such great acts New York's The Wau Wau Girls and Australia's own The Burlesque Hour I can only agree that using your own voice, the one we've all been given, is probably our only objective in the few decades or so we get to live and love on this planet. So thanks, Ms Moon, for making that extra clear!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-71292144679069927662010-02-26T15:22:01.676-05:002010-02-26T15:22:01.676-05:00Thank you, my dear.

Love you so.<br /><br />Maggie May- Well, taking one's own picture makes it easy to look not so bad. Ha! If you could see my neck. Oh, if you could see my neck. And I have a policy- I don't join anything with the word "club" in it. <br /><br />Angie M- I still had on my make-up so there you go. I don't normally look anything like that.<br /><br />Elizabeth- No. YOU are wonderful. <br /><br />Geeks In Rome- That makes me happy.<br /><br />Screamish- Oh it is so true. And scary.<br /><br />Mwa- I know. I have thought about this but I think it's time to take a break. It is very stressful for me, you know, the learning of lines, the getting to the Opera House three or more times a week. I will go back. You know I will. Thank-you for posting your comment, despite the difficulty and I am sorry you had trouble with it. I don't know what's going on. I have trouble posting comments on Typepad. It is frustrating.<br /><br />Jo- I know. I'll do both. I promise.<br /><br />Deb- Honey. Thank-you.<br /><br />Jan- And as always, some of us will be more crazy than others. Let's just oh, call him Budly.<br /><br />Nicol- Yeah. From that angle. My nose is so not perfect you can't even believe it. I have always despaired of my nose. <br />But no, no surgery. If I ever break my nose though, I am going to use it as an excuse to get this one fixed up a bit. Noses are weird, aren't they? <br /><br />HoneyLuna- As you know, I adore and admire and respect Miss Nana so much so that makes me feel wonderful and honey- you are so much stronger and more open to the universe at your age than I was when I was at nursing school and a decade older. It makes ME proud of you AND of me to be compared to you. Know what I mean? I love you, baby girl.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79618362922356014902010-02-26T10:53:10.244-05:002010-02-26T10:53:10.244-05:00I'll see you tomorrow for the play!I'll see you tomorrow for the play!That Hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514310999129694443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-87790003081483838302010-02-26T10:44:18.952-05:002010-02-26T10:44:18.952-05:00I agree with nicol, I love your nose.

But that's not what I was going to say originally. <br /> I'm so glad you found the Opera House, because it has given you, and in return, our whole family, more of a voice than before, which makes us so happy! <br />But really, you have always had a strong voice, and I know this for many reasons. One being your past teacher, and now my teacher, Ms. Nana has told me how much you were your own person, which has passed on to me, because she'll tell me so. I love it when she says I'm like you. Makes me proud. <br />Can't wait to see the play again tonight!honeylunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528514781592213251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79690312214466758592010-02-26T10:36:46.770-05:002010-02-26T10:36:46.770-05:00My goodness, you have a perfect nose, Ms Moon!

I had to cancel. I literally couldn't speak.<br /><br />It was nothing but FEAR.
