She is passionate about stories - writing them, telling them, and hearing others'. Find more of Rachel: Instagram: @rchllara  Twitter: @Rachel_Finkk A statement from Rachel: "This piece was created in 2018 as part of a solo performance class at Brooklyn College. We had the whole semester to create, and workshop a 10 minute personal monologue about anything we wanted. This piece was very scary to perform for many reasons, but it was something that felt very important to share. The first line is from a poem written by Nayyirah Waheed in her book "Salt". I'd like to credit my professor Rose Burnett Bonczek without whom the piece would probably not exist." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Created during a time of quarantine in the global Coronavirus pandemic, A Moment Of Your Time's mission is to provide a space for expression, collaboration, community and solidarity.

In this episode with my new friend and kindred, EMILY BURTON!  We had a social-distance-friendly zoom chat (so please forgive us the occasional shoddy connection audio).  In this episode I get to hear Emily's fascinating story.  She talks about 5th grade Emily's electrifying time playing Lady Macbeth, her experience as a young model, her journey to the BFA Acting program at USC, her stint in the world of commercial casting, her travels in Europe and Australia, her serendipitous path into the world of clowning, the juxtaposition of her analytical mind and her artistic abandon, the pesky "buzz" that hinders her creativity, her disdain for the concept of "hustling", the callouses she's developed and how she is deeply committed to allowing, books, puzzles, and so much more.  This woman is such a special artist and her shares are sure to inspire you to explore and work in ease.  Bonus: please enjoy our mutual love for Lily Tomlin, Astrology and Human Design! https://www.emilyburton.co https://www.instagram.com/emilyanneburton/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theblankpaige/message

On this episode, I'd like to share a bit of what we can learn from coincidences. After you get home from your run, get to work, or just have a minute to send a message, send me a message with a story of how a coincidence shaped your life. If you have one that is. Because coincidences...well, they are a seriously interesting dot that happens in life. My mother and Paulo Coelho would agree: there are no such thing as coincidences. In fact, Coelho, author of The Alchemist, goes further to say that “coincidence is the language of the stars” and that “when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.” Let me share a quick story. A few days ago, I sat there listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer's memoir on audiobook. Read by Dyer himself, he shares the personal stories that have evolved him as a being. A few particular poignant moments were the times at which Dyer stood up against injustice: once as a 3rd grader and another time as a U.S. Navy soldier. It got me thinking about how I sized up to Dyer's noble record. I thought about times in my life where I was more of a wallflower than an activist, like the time where a racial slur was said at the dinner table and I didn't call out a man's ignorance because I didn't want to upset the dinner host. A bit hard on myself, I got in the car to pick up lunch. There, at the deli, I "coincidentally" bumped into a former student of mine. He approached me at the deli and said, “Hey Mr. Guay, can I ask you a question…” to which I replied “Of course, but call me ‘Mark'." He told me about a new college class of his. There's a classmate whose gender is ambiguous and his professor apparently makes jokes about whether to call the classmate “he” or “she”. My former student sits in class steaming with anger, unsure of what to do. So he asked me. “What would you do in this situation Mr. G…I mean Mark?” he said. And I laughed. I thought about how just thirty minutes earlier I was thinking about similar times in my life where I had a similar crossroad. I talked him through a few hypotheticals and offered what I thought to be good advice for him to make up his own mind about what to do. He thanked me and walked away and told me he'd keep me posted about the outcome. —- I have no doubt that this "coincidence" was meant for a reason. I do not know the reason nor may I ever, but that doesn't shake my confidence in the causality of this meeting. There have been many what appeared to be random coincidences that led to beautiful miracles in my life: * Making a last minute random decision to enroll in a BFA Acting program and philosophy class, both of which led me sitting next to my now wife, Kaitlyn. * Feeling extremely burnt out from teaching and thinking of quitting then getting a letter from a former student telling me how my positive outlook on life stopped her from putting a knife to her wrist. * Reading Jean Kilbourne's research on gender identities in college, interviewing her ten years later as a journalist, and then randomly introducing Jean to someone I just met which led to her being a guest of honor at Omega Institute. And of course there are many yet "coincidences" in life that have yet to appear less than coincidental. But that's okay. I don't need to know the ripple effect of all of these events. Because that's not the point. — What about you? When have there been moments in your life where what seemed to be coincidences turned into beautiful miracles?
