New week, new things!

Last Friday was my last day taping the last episode of @crimmindscbs. This weekend the entire cast and crew danced and toasted and laughed and celebrated 15 seasons of a powerhouse show made incredible every day via the hard work of an incredible creative family. We danced until the lights came on and then we danced some more. (@vangsness has some good photos in her story).

In honor of such a magnificent end to a truly magnificent thing, I got myself a little wrap present, courtesy of the LEGENDARY @markmahoney_ssc at @shamrocksocialclub. What an honor to get inked by the king! (@crimmindscbs fans can spot him in the last episode of CM I directed — “Broken Wing” (1409) — where I asked him to play… wait for it… a super cool tattoo artist He nailed it.). My mom was there and took these pictures. It was a special day on a special weekend.

This little baby reminds me to always be ready for life. To stay loaded for LIFE, because it doesn’t start tomorrow, or someday, or after you’ve lost five pounds or gotten a new outfit or a new lover or a new apartment or somehow made yourself into some idea of perfection. (And it‘s a metaphorical gun not a real one so save the judgmental comments; this gun only fires free hugs).

Life is now. Happening all around you. In the little joys and the big triumphs. In the bittersweet farewells and the exciting new friendships. In life-changing experiences you’ve had, and new adventures that await.

Be open. Be present. Be ready.
