More than a goof ball!

Today is a new day. A new opportunity to follow your dreams. Take advantage of this blessing. Take that leap. Whatever your dream is, you have to step towards it. The more steps you take the more the universe will conspire to assist you…

If you want to run a label, quit your job at the bank & intern at a label. If you want to be a doctor, apply to school today, etc. I wanted to act, so every week I go to acting school for 14 hours, study film & actors, read about projects, etc. Once I took steps, roles came.

A girl replied, how can I pay my bills if I quit my job to follow my dreams? – when following your dreams you will be temporarily inconvenienced. Tyler Perry was HOMELESS years before becoming a MILLIONAIRE. Only you can determine the amount of sacrifice your dreams are worth.

Before 106 I had a job making 30k but I wasnt happy. I quit. Moved to NY, worked small jobs to get by, & lived on @FredWhit FLOOR 8 MONTHS! I just meet so many people that want to reach their goals & then complain when it sounds hard! Go watch Pursuit of Happiness

Everybody has a different story. U may have kids, mortgage, bills, etc. But God is powerful. There is always a way to follow your dreams!

* I found this letter to be very inspiring. Terrance is someone who at first glance doesn't seem to have many layers, but after reading this I ( an initial fan) have gained even more respect. I know there are sacrifices I will have to make to fulfill my dreams. Sometimes, I do get discouraged just thinking about the struggle. But, I'd rather try and fail than to never try at all...

10 Simple Tips...

Here we are nearing the end of January, hopefully you're still kicking 2011 off to a healthy start. I came across this simple list that I thought would be a great read for those who are needing a little motivation right now. Enjoy...

1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer..
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2008.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.

xoxo

F*** You Per Katie Couric

This picture does so much for me! I can't even explain it...

I can. I will. I AM

My First short Film is FINALLY done! I am sooooo excited! Well actually this post is about a month late but hey I'm a busy woman! To make things even better, my professor chose my film to be in an upcoming film festival! Who knew! With all the issues I had the first day I am very proud that I turned things around...no matter what the situation. He even said his wife chose it as her favorite!
I can't post the film online until the film festival is over :-( but I will be sure to post it first thing! When life gives me lemons I don't make lemonade I make fruit punch! HA! I love you.
