What If: 








     Today my blog is about asking yourself 'what if'.  As a writer I do that a lot.  Example:  What if a faerie fell in love with a mortal?  It's the kind of thing that helps you to remember how to dream and imagine, and be a kid again.  But what about asking 'what ifs' in life?  Approaching my fortieth birthday, a big 'what if' for me was what if I had stayed in Connecticut and had never moved to San Antonio?  I might have gone to New York and pursued my acting career.  But as I look back on my life, after doing one Equity show, I think that even a life on Broadway would have had its drawbacks.  San Antonio is a fantastic city with fun, friendly people and fabulous food.  But the memories I've made here I wouldn't trade for anything.  Most importantly,  if I hadn't moved I wouldn't have met my husband.  And if I hadn't met John?  Well, I don't even want to think about how different my life would be.  Even though I don't have a Tony Award (yet) I'm happy.  And I wouldn't want it any other way.
