I love being able to see shows from San Diego Broadway, and next year’s 47th season looks like it’s going to blow the rest of them out of the water!

Although season 46 just passed its midway mark with Chicago, they’ve announced the lineup for the 2024-25 season and it really looks like they mean it when they say it’s going to be the best one yet.

I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down… And all that jazz.

The national tour of Chicago has made its way to San Diego, and the show did not disappoint. Those who are familiar, however, will notice it’s not quite the same as what they’re used to, particularly when it comes to the set design and costumes.

The last thing you’re likely thinking about during your grief process is anything to do with joy or happiness. Depending on where you are in your journey or whether you’ve gone through any of the other grief yoga videos, you may be more willing to start moving forward into that sense of healing. You also may not, which is equally okay, but it’s what we’ll look at today anyway.

I’ll be the first to say that depression is hard to deal with, whether you’re in the grief cycle or not. It’s a monster all on its own, and it attacks some people more than others. It’s a thief in the night and can strike at any time, and though some people are able to let go of their depression quickly, others may end up getting lost in it.

Well, damn, it’s already the end of January 2024, which means we’re headfirst into another year with a load of…whatever. Honestly, some years are better than others, and the last four have been a whirlwind for everybody. It’s just crazy that, three years ago, time seemed to be crawling by for everyone while we were under lockdown and isolation. Now, time has gone back to its blink-and-you’ll-miss-it pace and it’s hard to keep up.

So often, we get wrapped up in thoughts of “why” when tragedy strikes. Why did this happen to us? Why did this happen to them? Why does this hurt so much? These questions are a journey within and of themselves, and can frequently lead to trying to bargain with the Powers That Be, whatever that may mean to you, to try and change the sequence of events.

In this day and age, there’s negativity everywhere you go. Everyone thinks they’re right about everything and there’s a stark divide when it comes to topics like diversity. On the flip side, there are an equal number of people working toward bringing together a bigger sense of inclusion and awareness as we move toward a broader and more accepting society.

Among those out there making a difference is Justin Renaissance, a San Diego-based pop star who oftentimes works alongside The Trevor Project to bring forward the topic of queer inclusion and self-love.

Okay, hang on, I’m still caught up in the tornado that swept me out of the theater and smacked me in the face with one of the most amazing live performances I’ve ever had the fortune of seeing in my life.

All right, now that I’ve picked my jaw up off of the ground, let’s talk about the current national production of The Wiz.

Today, we tapped into our rage on the mat and worked to “punch out” the feelings that we’re going through. We moved through some punches and kicks incorporated with our yoga poses to tap into the rage we’re feeling but then to settle back into the experience as we returned to the poses and postures.

I had mixed emotions heading into the San Diego Civic Theater’s national production of Mamma Mia. I was excited because Abba was one of my father’s favorite bands, and having lost him recently, it felt good to do something I felt honored in his memory. Having a local actress, Alisa Melendez, in a starring role as Sophie Sheridan was also exciting, and I couldn’t wait to see her blow her hometown house down.

What I was nervous about, however, was the fact I hated the movie.

Ever since I saw Black Swan, I get overwhelmed every time I see a live dance and think about what the dancer has had to go through to get to this moment under the spotlight. When the girls do point and I think about their crumpled toes standing on top of wooden blocks within their shoes, I cringe and experience empathy pains as I imagine their cracked and bleeding toenails.

But I’ll be damned if they don’t look good while they’re doing it.

When I found out the Fleet Science Center in San Diego’s Balboa Park was launching a Color in a New Light exhibit, I knew I had to go and see what it was all about. The science center itself is one of the 18 museums in the park, and one I had not had the privilege of going to and experiencing for myself yet.

Not only am I glad I got to check out the museum itself, I’m stoked my first experience got to be with this exhibit.

I’d heard of a lunar, a solar, and a full eclipse, and I’m sure I’ve heard of “annular” before, but I’m not always in the path of totality and don’t get to experience them as often as I would hope.

While I was at the annular event at the Fleet Science Center in San Diego, I had a chance to talk with Dave Decker, the President of the San Diego Astronomy Association, who explained everything I needed to know about eclipses.

Sometimes life is full of twists and turns. Here’s an update on what’s going on in mine.
