The world spins...much like my head...
Well...as you can see, I had no time or energy to write a single blog post while in NYC.
People keep asking me how it was...and they look at me with a hopeful smile...waiting for joy to flow out of me.
But I seem to be disappointing people these days.
The experience in New York was important and intense and I wouldn't change it for the world. But it was hard. And at the end of it I am left exhausted...and barely able to think straight.
I miss my sister. This is the first time I've been quiet and still at home since she passed. The month after her death was filled with trips and memorials. And then one month after, we got word about Fringe, and the whole world blew up with stress.
It was hard.
And now I sit and realize I still don't have my sister.
A dear friend passed along a mantra today. I won't repeat it...but it's about slowing down. I think a slowing-down process is sadly lacking in my life.
And the good news? My legal name change will be official on September 16th. This will be a new birthday for me. I never thought the name change would mean so much...but it does...and it gives me something to look forward to.

Oh yeah, I know how the whole name change thing feels. Especially given the project it turned into for me. Not because getting ones name changed is hard, but because the lawyer I had at the time ... dragged his feet. And then dragged them some more.
I'm not sure why a TV show would cause your world to blow up with stress, but I'm sorry it did. Ironically, I love that show, it's one of few I actually watch. J.J. Abrahms is a genius.
Yeah, having a real name, and anme that belonged to me, that I felt connected to? Priceless in the end. Utterly priceless! So yeah, I know how that feels.
