The final tally came in and we counted 1,970 homeless Austinites. It's a record.

Yesterday, at Trinity, I was reminded again that being around people who love you and doing something simple and quiet can turn things around. K., S., and I worked on a 500 piece puzzle, we didn't care about the puzzle, we just wanted to sit and put the pieces together. K. told stories, S., silent as always, just nodded occasionally and smiled. I listened, and as the puzzle came together, I started to make a little sense of what's going on in my life right now. K told me Trinity is his "island of sanity". I don't think he realizes that it's the same for me.

I'm also really enjoying the class at UTFI. I presented today. As I went over my background, I remembered all that I went through to make my first film. Most of it was internal, confidence, giving myself as much time and heart as I had to other filmmakers, and taking the leap of faith in myself. The students are great, they have amazing ideas and enthusiasm, I look forward to seeing what they come up with!
