Different Together

January 10, 2012 by Tricia Rose Burt

It’s Presidential primary day here in New Hampshire and I just got the sticker that says “I Voted.” The sticker is my favorite part of voting. It reminds me of when I was little and my parents came home from voting with their stickers. As a kid, I wanted an “I Voted” sticker in the worst way, because it would mean that I was an adult, and I could do something very important, something that only adults could do.

Disorderly Conduct

January 5, 2012 by Tricia Rose Burt

For the past year, I’ve slept only 3 to 4 hours a night, and not in a row. Needless to say, my nerves were shot and I was starting to get a bit cranky. While my doctor tried to sort out my insomnia’s cause, she prescribed the sleeping aid Ambien.

Christmas Magic, When You Least Expect It

December 22, 2011 by Tricia Rose Burt

This past week I was asked to tell a story at my town’s Christmas celebration. I was nervous. The story I  wanted to tell goes to a dark place before ending on a high note. I thought the kids and adults in the audience would prefer some Christmas magic instead. The shows producer, the extremely talented Jody Simpson, said matter-of-factly, “kids need to know that Bambi’s mother dies” and “this is no place for pablum.” As as artist, that direction itself was a bit of Christmas magic.
