I miss my beautiful students and have been re-reading their sweet letters and poems. One of my favorite letters:
“I will miss you a lot. I will miss how you guide us to write poem and I will miss how you jump around the classroom when you get happy and I will miss how you read your poem to us with tears. I will never forget that.
Thank you very much because through you, I can now write a poem for my own without writing someone poem as mine. Thank you.—Hilda Annabil

First Rehearsal for LTYM Boulder 2016!
by stephaniesprenger on March 29, 2016
To say our production team had been looking forward to last night is an understatement. Earlier this month we put together our cast after a powerful audition process, and ever since then we’ve been eagerly anticipating that magic moment (and believe me, it is magic) when the cast meets for the first time and hears one another’s stories. There’s just nothing like it.
There’s laughter (a lot of laughter), tears, and the waves of “me, too!” head-nodding around the table, just like there will be at the show, but it’s different during this first read-through. The synergy and connection that happens when a Listen To Your Mother cast gathers for the first time and witnesses the powerful words of their cast mates is something special, and we as a production team were so honored to be part of it.
We had the pleasure of watching our talented, unique cast share their stories with each other for the first time, and now we absolutely can’t wait for them to share them with YOU for the first time! You’ll hear unforgettable stories ranging from pregnancy to an empty nest, from postpartum challenges to special needs parenting, and from WWII travel adventures to the complexity of the mother-daughter relationship. We aren’t exaggerating when we say: you don’t want to miss this show. So don’t wait any longer and get your tickets now— our April 30th show is right around the corner and will be here before you know it!
See you at Unity of Boulder on Saturday, April 30th at 7:00 pm!

…”they had taught me something after all–not about figuring out how to wait, of course. But about living, fully, even while you’re waiting for whatever it is you think you want.”

I am incredibly grateful to be able to climb to a spot like this and absorb it’s peaceful beauty. I am grateful that it exists, that I have the strength to get myself there and that I am able to be present in the delight it provides.
