March Madness…it is very aptly named. Sometimes I feel like Dorothy trapped in a whirling twirling tornado that just won’t stop. I’m trying desperately to grab onto something for stability, but it is just out of reach. What I need is something to ground me that I can trust and count on to bring me back to earth. Or perhaps all it will take is to turn off the TV and stick my head in the sand. Thank goodness I have like-minded friends and family that can be my anchors. And people I work with on various projects that can help me keep my feet on the ground. It is so important to be able to switch focus from the madness of our times to something constructive and personal.
I’m truly looking forward to being able to sit in a theater to watch NSP’s productions of both Reader's Theater and Storytellers. To take myself out of the uncertainty of what is going on around me to the positive joy of watching people put their all into entertaining those of us who just might need it right now. I hope you join me on my trip back to earth.

You have plenty of courage, I am sure. All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger.
The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.
