3Ws – Reagan Pasternak

July 8, 2021 Filed Under: 3Ws

I owe Reagan a huge apology. I’ve been sitting on her 3Ws interview for awhile. At first because as the owner of an older dog, I couldn’t bear to think about dog loss. And then because losing Stella was so painful, I put it off a little longer. But I think Reagan has put her experience and empathy to great use in creating a journal that honors the great friendships we have with our pets and the grief we’re left to process when they’re gone. Thank you so much, Reagan, for your patience, and for sharing your kindness and insight with the world. ~Allie 

What do you create?

I have been a performer since I can remember. When I get to bring a character to life I’m in my happiest place. When I’m expressing that interpretation, whether it be on film or on stage, I feel that I’m communicating and connecting in the way I was meant to. More recently I created a book! An interactive guide about mourning our pets that have passed. It is part memoir, part journal and part keepsake — It was also born from my need to connect with people.

Why do you create?

I am pulled to constantly create with such an intense force that I find my body shuts down when I’m not accessing that creativity. It sounds dramatic but it’s actually 100% true. I create because I have to. It’s just who I am.

What do you consume?

I consume books! I pretty much never stop reading. I also consume carbs and a chilled glass of Rosé (keeping it real).

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
