If you're anywhere near Boston this weekend, you'll want to check out this amazing event at the Greater Boston Vineyard. It's a gathering of artists--musicians, poets, dancers, painters, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers (okay, I'm not sure the butcher has confirmed, but you get the picture)--who have created pieces around the theme of "RESCUE."
Before I moved, I was asked to film a few thoughts about how this theme plays into my writing. If you've read my book or my blog, you know that I'm a huge believer in rescue: happily ever after, princes on white horses, the hero arriving to save the day at the eleventh hour...so this was fun. Here's the video--my thoughts are at the beginning and the end, with some of the other awesome artists in between. (And if you hit the pause button to freeze-frame us at different times when we're talking, it's quite amusing).
One of the pieces in the show is an actress doing a comedic monologue from my book. When Christopher Greco--the director of the show who did the adaptation--asked me if I'd be okay with that, he said he'd be pulling material from a certain chapter. I looked it up and saw that it was the scene where my ex-husband threw a giant jug of change at me and called me a variety of expletives. I thought, "umm...comedic monologue???" Turns out it's a different scene. Which is probably a good thing :)
If you can get there, check it out.
Happy Weekend!

WOW! This looks to be an awesome event ... very engaging.
Listened to your Sunday talk ... I appreciate and enjoy your ability to relate your message in an easy, conversational way. I think it makes the message more accessible and palpable (it was for me anyway).
Fun to see you in the video!

You look so cute in the video!!!
Nice. And I have to tell you how amusing it is to hear you speak while my iTunes is playing 'Truth' by Lecrae in the background. You sound good with rap behind you.
