I’ve been fortunate to have a core group of best friends since middle school. I love those women fiercely, but now that we’re in our (late) thirties, it’s become harder to find time to chat, let alone get together.
I’ve also been lucky enough to get close to a friend or two at the various jobs I’ve had throughout my life. I don’t talk to these individuals every day anymore, but during those times in my life, they were integral.
I’ve since put my career on hold to stay home with my infant daughter and picked up a freelance writing job. I’m able to stay home, while having a creative outlet–it’s great. But as I reflect on the last year of my life, I wonder, “How will I make friends now?”

Coming next week to Plimoth Cinema is “Limbo,” a BAFTA (the British Oscars) nominee for best British picture and best debut. Writer-director Ben Sharrock deftly crafts a humorous and poignant story of what happens to immigrants who’ve fled their war-torn homeland in search of a better life in a new land.
“Limbo” centers on Omar, a promising young Syrian musician (Amir El-Masry) stuck on a remote, wind-whipped Scottish island awaiting the results of his asylum claim. Omar is tethered to his oud – a lute-like stringed instrument – but never plays it because it doesn’t sound the same as it did at home.
