Welcome to #iPPP! Sarah at The Sunday Spill and I want to see your funny, your yummy, your heartfelt, your favorite phone photos of the week. All you need is a blog post containing at least one photo from any phone camera. Link up below!

Last Saturday, we had our first official rehearsal for Listen To Your Mother at Unity Temple in Kansas City. We had had a read through at Erin’s house before, but this was our first chance to stand at the podium in the sanctuary and read our pieces into the microphone.

The show is this Saturday night, four days away. I’m excited, I’m terrified, I don’t want it to end.

There are some amazing stories to be told in our group alone, and the hundreds of women who are reading (or who have read) their own stories across the nation. The thirteen other cast members that I’ve come to know through this experience are incredible….funny, warm, smart, and caring. I’m lucky to have met them and spent this time with them, and to be able to stand on stage in front of them as I read and sit on stage behind them as they read. It’s a crazy amazing feeling to be so vulnerable with people that (for the most part) were complete strangers just a few weeks ago.

I watched some of last year’s cast on YouTube when the videos went up, and I was in awe. I still can’t really believe that I was chosen to be a part of this “movement”, created by Ann Imig, but I am so grateful and honored…..and terrified. (Did I mention that I’m terrified?)
