Writer & Actor Rebecca Weaver

Sittin on mah kitchen floor to get the last of today’s natural light. Much much much to do before we fly outta town on Saturday (⛷⛷). Tonight it’s 2 hours of coaching, some sides memorizing, and editing the @junefallingdown credits. Learning to set timers and make limits in all areas is becoming essential (& I’m still not great at it, but it’s become a point of pain and therefore a point of focus lately). We can all only do so much. Breathe. Have some coffee. Growth happens when it happens. Keep doing the work. 🦋
