Runaway horse

So the thing I have been worried about for years happened this past week. I lost my job. I’m a freelancer but have been fortunate to have had a pretty steady writing and VO gig with some TV shows which have suddenly and without warning left the studio where I was working. I felt immediately […]

Clutter

I sit at a desk which I keep pretty clutter free post a spell of working in an office whose policy it was to have a clean desk at the end of the day. It is helpful to wake up and come to work with a clean slate, a clean desk. On my desk I […]

Clearing a space

This week has been intense and wonderful and 100 MPH. I read recently that creative people are full on and then they have to lie down quietly. That sums me up to a T. I always thought I was like that because when I was younger I was a sprinter and I thought that that […]

Cleanse

This is the theme this month. Cleanse. For me that means a myriad of things but how I currently translating this is my need to cleanse my schedule of things that may threaten my goals. One can meander through days and weeks saying yes to things and filling a time table but not actually achieve […]

Everest

This past week was the last week of Holly and I preparing for pitching and Monday marks the beginning of the next phase which is all about getting in the room to pitch.

Inspiration

This month our theme is inspiration. I feel that I’ve had the incredible fortune to have had a mega inspiring week. First off I was in a cabin with my producing partner Holly for 2 days up a mountain to break the back of the pitch for our show. It was a challenging mind acrobatically […]

Joy

Usually at this time of year I can teeter into feeling a little blue. Post christmas with family and visiting friends in London coming back to my apartment in Los Angeles without a clear plan of how to achieve what I want to achieve this year can cause me to feel overwhelmed and a little […]

New Year New Adventure

This year I really do feel excited about the New Year and believe that 2016 will be a whole new adventure, a shift in focus and bring all manner of good things. I hope for you too darling that this finds you on the brink of your best ever year yet. Here’s to health and […]

Warm

Sitting fireside as the rain lashes the windows and such all I have to say is that I am grateful that the final days of 2015 can be played out with family and far from the manic days of the past few months. Lovely to quietly spend the end of the year and slow down […]
